POV: get to class. professor arrives a few minutes late, or on time. un-engaging lecture. pack up, leave. Pros: fulfills many gen eds, 2 exams (non cumulative), slides provided on elms, professor knows her stuff, 2 days per week Cons: group project worth 50% of final grade, exams are fill in blank and MCQ about the smallest things in the slides, 2 small papers to write, will have to meet with group members outside of class, attendance mandatory Who should take: someone that doesnt mind group work, likes remote sensing, tree-hugger Advice: go to class to do other assignments, make flashcards/quizlet about the slides to study for quizzes, start proj early, good luck |

Professor Lamb is very knowledgeable in both the coursework and her own work. For the class, there are many things you need to do in order to pass. The class is graded by few things. You will have to read and memorize the key facts, statistics, methodology, author name, and publication date of 45 academic journals/articles, as well as do an intensive group project, paper, and presentation. All of the notes that you will write and study will be based on each reading(s) that you are required to read in specific days and weeks. Then, you will present your notes on the readings for participation during lecture sessions. The first assignment you will do for the class is the midterm exam which will be based on the first several weeks of readings that you have read and gone over in class. The final exam is a mix of the midterm and some new readings. For the group work, you must participate, commit, and complete to whatever role you are given from your teammates. This class may sound easy on the cover, but the reality of it all is that you will need to fully commit in studying everything, otherwise, you will fail the class. This class requires both time management and critical reading & analysis. |

Professor Lamb is a very smart and powerful young woman, whose primary job is the Senior Climate Advisor for the State of Maryland. With that being said, DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE UNLESS YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT GETTING A CAREER IN CLIMATE CHANGE/SUSTAINABILITY/LAND USE. You will have to read and memorize the key facts, statistics, methodology, author name, and publication date of 45 ACADEMIC JOURNALS, as well as do an intensive group project and paper. This course is much harder than any other 400-level course I have taken as an ENSP (Land Use) major. If you struggle with time management and commitment, DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE. There are no standard lectures in this course, instead, we just a review a handful of academic journal articles a day, mostly led by the students who are assigned an article to present on. |

She was my TA and went out of her way to make sure we understood examples that would be covered in exams. Discussion sections are always the same - 90% of kids who don't participate, and the same handful who answer all the questions. She tried to bridge the gap between them, which I appreciated. She was extremely helpful when I needed last minute help for the term paper due, and guided me to the right direction. She was often more approachable than the professor, while being just as knowledgeable. |
