Reviews of professor Douglas Howard

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Howard was so kind and knowledgable about the topic of hydrology. His lectures could be fairly dense, but this class was taken in an online environment (I know he makes class more hands on in person). He worked hard to make class fun and keep us engaged, and his homework assignments were very clear. I would definitely recommend his class!

Professor Howard is an adjunct but cares so much for his students. The Class has some easily graded Homework, 2 Midterms, and a Final. The 2nd Midterm is challenging, however, the class received great grades. He also gave cookies in the exams! DO NOT worry that the class is scheduled for 2.30 hours, the lectures never stretched beyond 1.30 hours.

4 individual labs; 4 homework assignments. End of the semester - you have a group project with a presentation (annoying/hard) and your own project, which you will present and write a 10pg paper on (this is your final). Only one exam (midterm) - gives you study guide, mostly based off lectures. Available to help w/ labs. Pretty rude in his emails.

You will learn a LOT. But you will cry a LOT. There are weekly problem sets that require spending time in Lau 1 on the remote sensing platform. The midterm was hard but if you take great notes in class should be fine. There is also a tough final project. Still, I WOULD recommend this class, you will gain tangible, technical, & marketable skills.
