I took this course during the COVID-19 panini, and honestly I think it was great for a four-unit GE.

Lectures were recorded online and viewable asynchronously, slides were posted and clear to use, and attendance wasn't mandatory, so I actually didn't attend very many lectures. Considering the relative ease of the exams (as a STEM major), and the amount of quiz make-up opportunities available, I would strongly recommend anyone to take AOS 1, whether that's as a GE, a GPA boost, or just as a glimpse into the environmental science world.

Professor Seibt is, especially at 2x speed, very easy to listen to and understand. I think her classes — and the last homework, an at-home demonstration of thermohaline circulation — were really fun, and a good way of making the topic truly unforgettable.
