This class was actually fun and pretty interesting. Firstly, there are guest lectures almost every week talking about different topics of California's Oceans. Not only are you getting an introduction to different fields, but you are exposed to various professors talking about their research (if you were interested in getting into that). As someone who has no experience in coding, MATLAB was not very fun in learning. MAKE FRIENDS in the class who have some experience in coding to help you out if you don't have any coding experience. While the professor does provide a crash course into the language, I can genuinely say I was confused for half of the time there, but HE IS REALLY NICE. Super understanding, willing to spend time working through problems, and just talk about life when he has the time. He is a professor that actually cares about his students. The final is a group presentation and a paper about analyzing a certain aspect of California's Oceans (using your coding skills you learned in class) which was not too bad. Find good group mates, pick a topic early, and get the analysis done asap since the paper creeps up faster than you think. Would definitely recommend!

If you want to learn, then do not take this class. The professor never explains anything well. You are assigned to code things you don't understand. He should really focus more on how to work and analyze models on Matlab versus having other people (guest lecturers teach his class). The class could be really cool and fun if you were taught what you analyzing in Matlab.
