Prof Advice- Earth/Enviro Sci
Can someone tell me about the difficulty of these professors: Yiannakoulias, Eyles, Padden
Are these professors tests 12'able? Any tips for them? Thank you

I haven't heard of the first prof but I've had Eyles and Padden. Eyles is a good prof, she enjoys what she teaches and her midterms and exam were fair (I had her for Env Sci 1G03 back in first year). I remember she used to tell us what was going to be tested and what to pay attention too so when tests came around, it wasn't really surprising. I had Padden for natural disasters and she's an easy prof as well. She also told us what kind of things to expect on tests. She does sort of drone on sometimes with umms and ands lol but other than that she was good.

If you can get Niko (Yiannakoulias) I would take him over the other two. Maureen Padden is a great prof, although I think she is on maternity leave until at least Jan. Carolyn Eyles I know of, but not much about. Dr. Yiannakoulias is a very smart, very fun guy. He's rather young (for a prof) (~28,29) but after assisting him with research this past summer, I fully guarantee his awesomeness.
