Peter Ryan

Pete Ryan is great, however, some of the lab to class crossover was shaky. It was very lecture based and there were only a few projects, really only one large one. No exams, but fair sized lab reports.

I thought this was a great introduction class for the ENVS studies major/minor. It gives you good practice at analyzing and becoming more familiar with reading scientific literature. The labs are one of the best parts too, even if they sometimes feel long/require extra work. However, they are very worth it as the hands-on experience facilitates deeper learning (plus, you get to see some new parts of your beautiful campus & area).

This was a great course! It is a great way to start learning about various environmental topics. The labs were interesting, and the lab professors were very easy to talk to and enthusiastic about our field work.
