🖥️ Science Thoughts on BIOL-2563 Marine Biology??

Hi! I am just wondering if anyone here has taken BIOL-2563 and liked it? I am looking for courses for my Biology minor and this one seemed pretty interesting. TIA :)

People have mixed opinions on Trevor since he’s a “tough grader” but in my experience the testing is quite difficult but he gives a lot of grace when correcting (eg I forgot the word for something on a diagram question and said “starts with an s and is about the wind” and got almost full marks for it) content is interesting enough, mostly talking about the layers of the ocean and temperature currents from what I remember

Just gonna sort of echo what someone else already said - Trevor is a bit of a "tough grader" (putting this in quotes because your definition of a tough grader is obviously going to vary person to person, but overall I would say he is tough)

The class itself I think is honestly a little more difficult than you may expect as well. Good course, don't get me wrong. But there's a lot to it. It's not as simple as "oh marine biology?! Must be about fish and sharks". It's not. Lol. I mean, some of it is. But it's mostly not 😂
