I love Brad Fedy. I love when he talks about sage grouse and R. You know, don't listen to the hate, Brad Fedy; I would be your graduate student.

Dr. Trant was great! It was an 8:30AM class but he made it bearable. The content was interesting, I just wish his slides had more text on them so that my mind wouldn't drift off from time to time.

Super fun course and you really feel like you are learning something. This course was manageable but still challenging enough that it isn't boring. Prof was so amazing and helpful

Pretty cool and easy. like an extension of ENVS200 with more lectures and less outdoor labs. I enjoyed my time in this class and did not want to miss it.
