Very easy and straightforward class and lecturer. Plenty of extra credit to boost your grade but you usually have to attend lecture to know what they are. Textbook is recommended but it’s expensive so I just found an older edition and that worked fine (I don’t think it had the chapter on pandemics tho).

Lectures:
- slideshow format
- polls as participation! counts as 10% of your grade but there’s a lot of leeway so as long as you do 70% of them you should be fine

Quizzes/ exams:
- all from lecture and textbook and quizlet lol
- pay attention to lecture specifically bc a lot of the questions are very specific and may not be emphasized on the slides
- open-notes and book!
- final has a lot of repeated questions from the midterm and quizzes

Discussion:
- attendance and participation matters
- present about one natural disaster (12% of your grade); super easy, just follow the rubric
