Life changing class. The things I learned changed the way I look at Earth as our home. For this reason this class is not easy. But it is worth it. Take it if you are interested in gaining knowledge that is practical, useful and REAL. If youre a baby, then don't take it.
I just finished his winter class. All I can say is that in th e 46 units I have finished with a 4.0 at SMC this is probably the most enjoyable class--and I am an econ major. Dr Burnett uses pp presentations and is very willing to help you with any topics you need help with. You are missing out if you do not take him for your lab science.
This teacher was pretty cool the class is not hard at all which makes it easier to slack off. You get weekly labs which are not hard (the answers are in the notes) There's no homework only a take home lab once a week. For the mostpart you take notes.
LOTS of material, notes to take during class, reading - labs are really boring. BUT if you study, know and understand the material and do the work, you will do well on exams which is the bulk of your grade. Lab assignments are graded, but you can work with partners and get answers from them if you're stuck, which is good. Overall, good class.
There are 1 midterm and a final which comes with a lecture test and a lab test. The Lab tests are reasonable but the lecture tests are really hard. So be prepared to come to class and work a lot to get a satisfactory grade. Prof. Burnett is really nice thou, I was at first getting a D but he gave me a chance to pass the class, thanks!
