This class is of course python-heavy, and was sometimes confusing as someone who had never taken a data science class before. However, Cam was very helpful during office hours and during lab with problem solving. He offered guidance but also really empowered students to think through problems on our own. This class helped me learn a new skill while being able to apply it to a very real-world problem, climate change.

I took this class strictly because I needed a science requirement, and this class was a great way to fill it. Professor de Wet is very enthusiastic about what he's teaching - the class moves a bit fast at times, but the course was not difficult overall and de Wet wants students to succeed in the course. Assignments consist of discussion posts on canvas, homework worksheets that are almost always completed in class, two exams, and a final project. The exams are not very difficult if you study for them.

This class is fine. Cam is a great guy and the course material is interesting. This class was much more about historical climate reconstruction research than I thought it would be. It was also completely classroom based and the discussion sections are just reading and analyzing papers. I think this class has a lot of potential that is unrealized. It's interesting, Cam is a great person, I just found it a little underwhelming.
