Fall 2021 - DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS OR THIS PROFESSOR! The wording for the assignments and exams is weird and often misleading. The format of the class does not help you learn. The material is easy, but the professor often finds a way to make it hard by wording the questions weirdly. One of the assignments has a lot of questions that are subjective, like counting the number of a weather phenomenon in two ways, but only providing one blank space for each of the answers. (most of the students got a b- or a c for that assignment). It also took the professor 2 weeks to grade the final exam. It is a relatively easy/light class if you only want a pass for upper-division credits though.
