The lab quizzes are 8 questions worth 4 points each and I kept getting 3.5/4 on like every single one which is like an 88 so I think that's what made me get a B+. So make sure you're preparing well for the lab quizzes which are every week. Study for them by looking at the Lab slides from the previous week, not the lecture slides. You can basically view Lab and Lecture as separate. And for the exams, only study the Lecture slides, not the Labs or the Lab slides. I thought the first exam was so easy, then I got a 90, so I was like oh damn, but my TA graded my free response so hard for no reason. I kind of had a shitty TA. He wasn't very nice (Yufan). He's one of those teachers who gets annoyed when you ask questions saying you should've read the textbook or whatever. It's an easy class that you can get through I just should have studied more. There's no homework except the lab readings and studying for the Lab Quizzes and exams. There were two exams and a final (cumulative). I thought the final was pretty easy. It was 53 multiple choice and 7 free response that were just like drawing wind patterns on a picture of the Earth. I finished it in 50 minutes. I think you definitely need the textbook for this class. There were three chapters that you were on your own for for the final (he didn't lecture on them, you just had to read the textbook, but they were on the final).

Solid GE class to take with a solid professor. Schauble is very caring about his students, and his office hours are great! All lectures are podcasted so attending lecture isn't terribly necessary. Alex Grannan was my TA for Fall '15 and I highly recommend switching into his lab section if you can. He is a helpful, patient TA and grades very fairly. This class isn't the EASIEST GE out there to take for a lab requirement (if you want an A) but if you're okay with a B to A-, definitely take this class.

He is nice and he posts his lecture video on line. There are a lot a stuff to memorize but if you go over the notes and slides, it won't be hard to get an A. Good luck. Want to buy the book? Email me:*************

Easy GE with a lab. Had him during the strike so he canceled the weekly quizzes. Always do the extra credit. Midterms and finals were very similar as in level of difficulty. Just study material. Some basic stuff you've learned in middle school tbh.

Class was made up weekly quizzes, two midterms, and a final. Labs were super easy and didn't require much participation. There was a light workload since all you had to do was complete a short quiz every week. Quizzes were timed and taken on Bruinlearn. The quizzes were not easy, but if you did the reading, you could've gotten 75% of the answers correct. Midterms and the final weren't easy but weren't overly difficult. The practice exams were similar to the tests and if you memorized a bunch of terms before each exam, you'd do pretty well. Quizlet was my best study tool. Don't rely solely on the readings, Make flashcards from the readings, the book, and the PowerPoint presentations. Schauble's a good lecturer and talks about more than what's on the slides so I'd go to his lectures and take notes. He's obviously passionate about the subject. Nice guy. Would take a class with him again. Content was boring at times but fine overall.

Solid GE, not much work considering this is a lab class. This class feels like a mix between STEM and humanities so I think almost anyone could succeed in it, although STEM majors probably have a slight advantage. Lots of concepts/facts you have to remember, but most are pretty straightforward. Lab is 40% of the grade and consists of participation and a small quiz each week (quizzes are easy, but a big part of grade so take them serious). Although lab is 2 hours it usually only takes about 1, and you can leave after you finish (they were pretty useless anyway). Professor is a good lecturer and great person, and somehow made learning about different types of mud at least somewhat interesting. Midterm 1 was stupid easy, midterm 2 and the final were harder but doable. Overall just a pretty easy, kinda boring GE.

Take my review with a grain of a salt because I am by no means a STEM oriented person. That being said, Professor Schauble and my TA Lauren didn't make it easier for me. His lectures were boring and everything's fair game between the lectures, textbook, and labs which made it impossible to determine what would be important on the exam. I feel that his lectures didn't even really pertain to the exams which was annoying. Also, lab was a pain in the ass, wasn't helpful at all and we had to take weekly quizzes which really dragged my grade down. Even though it was take home and I used the lab slides it was hard to get a good score, and the quizzes were only worth a few points so missing any questions brought the score down a lot. I wouldn't take this class again, I'm sure there's better ways to fulfill the science lab requirement.

Professor Schauble is nice and helpful and he made the slides super clear. You can tell he really enjoys his subject.
