Student Opinions
(This space is intended to compile general comments from past students on the course. It will be judiciously moderated for extreme and unprofessional comments, but otherwise, it is open to a broad range of student feedback.)
This class focuses fairly heavily on Eutromod (the EPA eutrofication model) through the last half of the course. The first half of the course is general information related to water quality management and is a good broad level overview that includes important engineering concepts. The course requires a good understanding of statistics for some of the sections so I would suggest making sure you have taken stats or are comfortable enough with basic stats to wing it.
The Instructor's Take...
(This space is exclusively for the instructor to broadly comment on his or her course, and respond to commonly received feedback, explain methods and approaches, and encourage student registration. Instructors: Please limit to 300 words, or link to a wiki page of your own creation to explain in detail.)
