Prof Carton is the best. He explains things efficiently, often letting you out of class early, has office hours if you need them, and is passionate about the material. He provides practice exams, study guides, and uploads the slides on ELMS. This class had 2 non-cumulative midterms, 1 cumulative final, 3 homework assignments, and 1 group project -- not heavy at all. Highly recommend this professor! I'll miss this class when it's over

The lectures were laidback and the professor provided lecture slides and panopto recordings on ELMS which made is much easier to absorb the material at my own pace. The topics were interesting -- it is a survey course though. There was a lot of homework and exam support.

Jim Carton was a great professor for oceanography! He has a passion for what he does and is quite evident in his lectures. He is easily accessible though email and is willing to help you outside of class. His coding project were difficult to understand if you didnt have a lot of background knowledge on the subject. He helps you through the projects if you ask for it. He had a midterm and a final exam. Both are worth a significant portion of your grade and they are extremely challenging. Be prepared for those things. Other than that this was an amazing course with a great professor.
