Oceanography: The material for this class is essentially very easy. A good ge for non-south campus majors. However, I could not bring myself to attend lectures because this teacher was very boring. When I did go I would doze off in boredom. The labs are where I learned all the information I needed for the course. Grab a buddy and you can be done within an hour. Slides and audio are available for the class, which makes it easy to ditch. The tests are ridiculously detailed, which means even though you study you still may not do well. If you want to do well on the test, you have to remember marginal details. This class is very boring but also easy. If I had paid more attention I probably would have gotten an A.
