The Global Environment
The Global Environment (formerly GEOG 0206) This course will provide an introduction to the study of the physical environment, with an emphasis on how environmental systems interact. The first half of the course will focus on Earth’s climate, specifically, Earth’s energy budget, the greenhouse effect, global wind and weather patterns, and global ocean circulation patterns. The second half of the course will focus on patterns and processes of the Earth’s surface by examining global patterns of vegetation and the creation of landforms by fluvial, glacial, and aeolian processes. We will use this foundation to understand how our rapidly changing climate will alter each of these systems.

I found this class to be overall pretty manageable. Niwaeli expects you to read the textbook, which sometimes covers very elementary topics. In class, though, you learn about interesting things. A major component of this class is a group presentation where you teach a class and design a worksheet that your classmates complete. Overall, this class was alright, but not always the most engaging to me.

This was a somewhat interesting course although it covers a lot of things that I already had a good sense of just from paying attention to the world around me. Not a challenging class in terms of work load although the exams were harder than expected. Overall, with it being Niwaeli's first time teaching this class, it was pretty good and she definitely grew on me throughout the semester.
