not an easy a. had annoying pop quizzes...i'm normally a a/a- student and in hard sci classes too but the prospect of continuously studying was tiresome and to me not worth it...i got a B+ but note with very little effort..i was uninterested in the material and too stubborn to do the work..if you enjoy the subject matter dive into the material otherwise not worth it.. but he was nice person though. gave us ice cream at the end of the quarter and field trip that involved the beach/palisades which was cool i guess the b+ was my own fault

Winter 2025 - Professor Paige is a great lecturer, and you can tell he really cares about the subject. Other reviews mentioned the final being unfair, but I personally found the final to be really easy as most of the questions did come from the slides which are posted on canvas. You get to pick the topic of the final and it was super fun and interesting learning about a facet of Mars I enjoyed. Discussion sections were super chill, lecture itself was super chill, and is definitely an easy A.
