Fall 2019 - Margulis is a phenomenal professor. He built this class (CEE 150) from the ground up, even going so far as to write his own textbook (a PDF he provides to you for free) as well as a MATLAB hydrology model called MOD-WET that you use for each homework. He is a great lecturer and explains the material thoroughly, and is very approachable and happy to answer questions both in and out of class. The homework incorporates MATLAB and is pretty time consuming. Because it is thorough, though, it gives you opportunities to explore each of the concepts he covers in lecture, plotting hydrologic values over time and space and seeing what factors influence them. Kind of like M20 in the sense that you often plot value and must explain their behavior. His exams are, again, very well-written, and he doesn't surprise you with anything. As long as you know how to do the homework, you should be go to go. Overall, very well-developed course from a great prof., can be tedious but you learn a lot. Couldn't ask for anything better!
