Overall good class. The content covers a very broad field and was a bit messy, but clear enough. A lot of memorization. I spent a whole day for each chapter during review session. Each chapter had 70-100 slides and you basically need to remember most of them. The only homework is the quiz in each class.

The content can be divided into 3 major sections: rocks (including earth), hydrology, and glacier. For rocks, you will learn about earth's structure, and then rock cycle. You will also need to memorize the common rocks. And then plate tectonics plays a big part: You will learn about the types and causes of landforms formed by the movement of the earth's crust, as well as the natural disasters it causes (volcanoes and earthquakes). You will have your midterm. After that you learn weathering & erosion, as well as the hazards they cause (mass movement). In hydrology, you learn water cycle, groundwater, stream flow, flood. And then about the ocean, waves and coastal landforms. And then fluvial: Drainage Basin types, channel types, landforms caused by rivers. In glacier, You learn about...read more

Both of them were very responsible and professional, they know how to teach and will help students complete the quizzes with great patience. The lectures were a bit drowsy, but I think that was mainly because they were 3 hours long; the activities in the quizzes were quite interesting. The exams were not difficult overall, but there are a few particularly difficult questions. All you need to do is memorization.

The content of this course is very similar to EOSC 110. I do not recommend this course for students who have already taken 110. Go to the lectures, instructors will help with your assignments. The course content is very, very rich. Again, go to the lectures, you must study the course content on time, otherwise you will be overwhelmed during the review session. You have to remember a LOT of things. My strategy is to read the slides and write down the things in my own neater words, and figure out the logics between them. You will NOT be allowed to bring a cheatsheet to the exams, so be prepared. Btw I uploaded my review sheet to studocu and coursehero.
