Ah, professor Longcore. What can I say about good old Travis. He's a funny guy here and there. He does have a tendency to talk kind of fast in lecture, but that's really all I can say bad about him. He's ok. In terms of Geo 108, its a pretty easy class and he knows it. The tests are straightforward and multiple choice. I just wrote most of what he said during lecture and studied my notes for the test. I didn't even open the book and got an A in the class. He even tells you he writes his tests in front of his computer with his notes on his lap. If you're freaking out about the website project, please don't. Its really pretty easy. Its not meant to be super scientific and stuffed with all this technical research and information. Its meant to be fun and informative and most of the information you can get from the course book to put on the site. So take this class if you can, especially if you're a Bio major because any class other than an EEB class is going to cause you less stress and work.

Winter 2020 - I was pretty skeptical about taking this class as I didn’t think I’d be too interested in the subject matter. But Professor MacDonald made (THREE HOUR) lecture really engaging and it ended up being one of my best classes this quarter. There are two assignments, a report and botanical garden sketchbook that are super manageable and he gives extra credit on the report if you take a picture with the plant you write on. The midterm was fairly easy but I definitely studied a good amount for it. Definitely recommend taking this course. Having the rest of the week off made the 3 hour, late nights on Monday worth it.
