Super easy. Doesn't post powerpoints though, so you have to go to lectures. Only 3 assignments the entire semester, 4 online open note- quizzes, 4 in class quizzes (dates listed in sylla), drop lowest quiz in each category and final is NOT cumulative. don't buy a book, never used it. she's helpful and answers questionsRate My Professors ↗
EASY science credit! Take it. Don't buy the book, write down all the notes. With barely any effort you can do well in this class. I would seriously recommend. Also, she won't answer your emails, but if you ask her something after or before class she is more than willing to help. TAKE THIS CLASS.Rate My Professors ↗
First of all, UW needs to change the course description of this class. It's heavy in GPS and modern-day mapping, which the description doesn't reflect. Anyhoo, i liked Burnicki enough. Lectures are boring, assignments are regular, but if you put in a little effort, you should walk away happy.Rate My Professors ↗
Lecture is NOT necessary, only go if you have a quiz. Find a different way to get the notes cause the notes are all you need to get an A. Don't buy the book. She always gives extra credit on hw/quizzes/exams. For exams just complete the study guide and read it over a few times and you're golden. Reallllllly easy science credit.Rate My Professors ↗
Very good, clear professor. Easy science credit. Go to lecture and study your notes. Readings not necessary unless you miss class. All tests straightforward. Frequent work (quizzes, assignments, etc.) but none of it hard.Rate My Professors ↗
This class is pretty easy. The tests, exams, and quizzes are all easy and you do not have to study too much. However, the assignments and quizzes are on a pretty regular basis.Rate My Professors ↗
