Prof Swerdfager is very knowledgeable in all of the oceans topics discussed, and makes material interesting. Quizzes are simple and straightforward if you attend class, essays are marked fairly and flexible on topics. Funny and welcoming professor.

One of my favourite courses to date (the other being Trevor's ocean's field course)

Trevor is amazing! Super funny. Course content can get a bit heavy, but overall useful.

I really enjoyed this course. Course load is not terrible, content was super interesting and the prof was amazing. You really get a base for ocean sustainability and the assignments are pretty fun.

I took this as the future of our oceans with Trevor Swerdfager. Very fun course. This made my semester tbh. We learned about sharks and whales and stuff, pretty epic
