RNR 1001
NAT RESOURCE CONSERV
Do not take this class thinking it is easy. It is not. Studying for hours for a test might get you an 80 after the curve. The guy knows his material, very smart. The tests are just out of this world in difficulty. Take notes in class and read over his study guides he posts for each chapter. Read the book too.

RNR 1001
NAT RESOURCE CONSERV
Pros: Extra credit assignment, curves, outlines on moodle and study guides
Cons: Computer based testing
If you go to class and listen you'll make an A however, it's hard to make yourself go to this one. If you get a hold of someones notes you'll end up with a B. Beware though: The computer testing makes it difficult and tricky. Not as easy as you'll think- but not as hard either.
