ESR171

Environmental Science: Biological Perspectives is one of the easiest classes that I have had so far. It's interesting and I am learning new things, but it just isn't that deep and doesn't have a lot of homework. A 3 to 5 page literature review (I guess that sounds better than a book review) of "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan is the hardest and longest assignment we have. I highly recommend this book anyone who eats food. And its easy and fun to read. But the class is a good  macro view of a huge and complex subject. And easy. The test wasn't that difficult, but I did study a lot for it. I got a 102%! Only missed one of the extra credit questions. And I found out that this class and the five field trips that are part of it are considered science classes with labs.  That's two less classes I have to take if I pick ESR172 next term. And it uses the same text book that I already have. Excellent! Apparently these are all reasons these classes are so popular. I didn't know. Now I do. Tomorrow we have a "lab" at the Rebuilding Center, which is about a 10 minute walk from home. Hopefully it won't be raining.
