Spring 2024 - This class was very interesting! We learned about wave behavior, beaches, and much more. Not too difficult of a class. Calculation-based concepts were simple. No midterm, just homeworks, very short quizzes, final project, and final exam. The final project took a while as it required a lot of MATLAB code setup to run a beach analysis program called XBeach. We had a lecture on the beach which was pretty cool. The professor is very passionate for the subject and the TA was really helpful. Would recommend taking this class, but be aware that the final project (can have a partner if taking the undergraduate c158 class) will take a while
