Hi everyone!
I thought I would share a review about Forestry 302 which is a course focused on genetics related to plants and conservation techniques. This course tends to have very dense lectures, which requires you to pay attention and take clear notes. This course is organized a way which eliminates the need for a final exam, and decreasing the stress load by having 5 non-cumulative quizzes. A thing to note is that these quizzes seem to come very quick as they essentially end up being biweekly quizzes!
The course material is quite interesting, but at times can be complex and hard to follow along. Often working through the information and piecing it together after lectures is going to help make the most sense! Be sure to keep up to date on the lecture content since quizzes are very detailed and the options can be confusing!
Layout:
5 in-class quizzes: 75% (top 4 quizzes are taken)
5 online quizzes: 25%
*note: the online quizzes have material that is completely separate from the course, therefore, this material was not tested on the in-class quizzes. This also meant that the information was not formally taught so sometimes it may make the quizzes slightly difficult to do!
Overall, this course is very detailed and focuses heavily on various forestry strategies and mechanisms. Be sure to keep up to date with all the material and ask questions along the way.
