Fall 2023 - What a great class! The coolest subject matter and very interesting lectures. Professor Stiekman cares about her students, and has so much knowledge and experience to share with them! The tests are of moderate difficulty and there is a hypothetical grant proposal project due at the end of the quarter, so expect a little work, but it is never excessive. This is a super dope class for any physical geography students or EEB people.
