Students said the subject was interesting and had the potential to be a good course. However, most people said the professor was ineffective and the class was too theoretical. They said the class was too focused on mathematical equations and derivations and did not discuss actual hydrological applications. Students suggested going over more example problems and real-world applications in class, and using a more informative textbook. Overal , students said the course was very hard. Otherwise, try to get a group of people to study with.

Students loved the hands-on field work they had, and felt that the labs really helped illustrate the core ideas taught during the lecture. Students found the professor very friendly and the course wel structured. The feedback they received was late in the semester and not very helpful. Students also found the materials difficult to follow and that the textbook did not fully cover all of the queries they had. They did not feel like the exams tested their knowledge well and found the midterm to be very long. Suggestions for improvement included using a different book, adding more examples to the class lectures, and shortening the labs and exams to al ow students enough time to complete them. Prospective students should be prepared for a difficult course with a moderate-to-heavy workload and very challenging exams.

Students praised the instructor for the passion and knowledge he brought to this course. Students also thought the extra credit quizzes were a useful learning tool. They believed the biggest drawback of the course was that they needed to use the Python programming language for assignments, which many students were unfamiliar with and were not taught in the course. Students commented that the course could be improved with preparation materials offered for the course’s exams. They also thought it was important for potential participants to know that knowledge of programming in Python was valuable for this course and that the course required a significant time commitment.
