Environmental Hazards and Disasters

This class was horrible! Prof. Menke and Klaus ruined such interesting subject matter..... their lectures (ppt. presentations) were dull, and put you to sleep right away. I would not recommend taking this class.

The class is very well organized. Everything is accessible online (lectures, hws, exams). The lectures are well paced and easy to understand. Proffesor Sykes is incredibly warm and is very willing to help (he actually checks his emails on weekends unlike some!). Work load is not heavy, very easy to do well. Very pleasant and laid back atmosphere. The class covers a lot of intersting topics (everythign form basics of earthquakes to international mitigation to terrorism). Usefull and interesting.
