AGROECOLOGY103 · course not matched
Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
Professor Gratton is great. In agroecology 103 he balances the other two professors by being very calm and efficient at getting his point across. He tries to make lectures fun although the topic can get boring at times. I would definitely recommend taking agroecology 103.
