I absolutely loved this course! The field labs are a blast, and it is evident how much Dave enjoys them and how knowledgeable he is on all the topics covered. I found the lab reports a fun way to write up what we had learned during the field lab, and after writing the first one or two the format becomes pretty easy.
Sean is such an awesome professor, and you can tell how enthusiastic he is about the material he teaches. He is always helpful when it comes to concepts that you may be confused about. I went to multiple of his office hours, and every time he was incredibly patient in his explanation. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in ECSC.
Jeff is a super nice professor, very knowledgeable, and covers pretty fascinating material. Unfortunately, while the structure of this class was creative, it didn't feel effective. 40% of our grade was participation, measured over the course of our weekly discussion based journal clubs. He graded our participation by comparing where we stood in comparison to other people. A zero-sum game for participation feels pretty unfair. You could get a good grade if you participated more than other people, which inherently means half the class participate below average and are graded poorly. It also fostered somewhat dumb contributions during class. I didn't learn well in the environment.
