Interesting course for environmentalists. Not challenging info, but some specific exam questions on the case studies can be difficult.

Useful general info for environmental and natural resource managers.

Very knowledgeable and is the one speaking in all recorded lectures.

Problem sets are the most time-consuming.

The course was overall really fun. To sum it all up it's basically a course of field trips, and as long as you go to class/participate it's an easy A.

Reading and occasionally being quizzed on "A Sand County Almanac", but you read it on your own time and not in class.

All of the three professors that taught this course were extremely nice and understanding if you couldn't make a class.

Stay engaged, you'll learn a lot more that way and it's loads of fun if you actually enjoy being outside instead of in a lecture room.

Tierney is a great prof, but be prepared to write down everything he says! His builds his exams based on the discussions had in the lectures that year so they are kinda personalized every year. Because of this, I'd say attendance is mandatory because most of what he lectures about isn't directly stated on slides. The textbook is optional but incredibly helpful/informative! So if you don't understand some topics you should definitely try reading that section in the textbook.

I found the content to be super interesting, however there is a lot of content! Not everything in class mentioned is important but Tierney really likes giving the whole picture for most concepts which is awesome. I will say though because there is so much content, you should be interested in this course to be able to keep up with it all.

Very knowledgeable, spoke fast and quickly at times. Sometimes hard to keep up with because he would just talk so much and the things he was saying wouldn't be on the slides.

Be prepared to take lots of notes! Most slides are just an image or graph and then we as a class discuss and draw conclusions from it, and these often show up as test questions!
