Cool course if you are into climate modeling- I took the class because it's in my major. If you have Python experience, the coding portion of this class will be no problem. Even if you have no coding experience, Cam and the TAs were very helpful at answering questions, and a lot of the code is just recycling code from the directions. A lot of the content will be familiar if you've taken other environmental science classes; the biggest difficulty of the class was figuring out how to make code work on the out-of-class assignments.

This was a great class to be introduced to the Earth & Climate Sciences department. Jeff was a really effective professor, and his enthusiasm for all things geology definitely came across in his teaching-style. There is no homework besides labs once a week, but the labs are pretty easy. There is also no textbook, which can make it pretty difficult at times to study for the exams, especially if you miss a lecture as he doesn't upload his slides. He is a pretty tough grader and I sometimes felt that he took points off answers in an unfair way. That said, this was a super valuable course and I would definitely take a class with Jeff again!

The course is straightforward if you have any coding experience. The material is also very easy to understand if you have taken any Earth and Climate Science courses and was a little repetitive. While lectures are a little boring, the labs were enjoyable and Cam is really smart.
