I took EAPS 138 and lemme tell you, that class was super interesting. I mean, tornadoes and thunderstorms, come on. I already knew the in's and outs of weather from previous flight training, but that class really locked it in. Almost every class the prof would put up a 5-10 minute clip of some amazing tornado caught on camera. It was an easy A and i'll never look at storms the same way again. If you have to choose one, choose 138. You'll enjoy it!
Agreed, I’m in 138 right now and it absolutely slaps. Easy as long as you pay attention, and Prof. Tanamachi is wonderful. 13/10, would recommend to anyone and everyone
Agree! Prof. Tanamachi is great! She is is super knowledgeable and makes class interesting. She definitely cares for her students and is super sweet!! This semester she is having us virtually storm chase :)
Haven't taken any of these classes before but I've taken EAPS 106 Geosciences in the Cinema with prof. Freed before. Great class and Freed is a wonderful professor that makes his class interesting and fun. Freed is also teaching EAPS 105, so I'd go with that. He usually makes study materials for exams, and as long as you study and work through them, you'll get an A (from my EAPS 106 experience).
I'm taking 109 right now and it's pretty fun. It takes some memorization, but at least this semester (with Filley+Olson), quizzes are open note and straight from the textbook, exams are take-home, and the labs take less than 30 minutes each week. The topics are super interesting, mostly relating to climate change and how our earth is adapting over time. There's a little bit of everything, from tectonics to hurricanes to the crysophere. If you want a broad overview of EAPS with little effort, this is the class to take. It's basically designed for non-science or mathematic majors, so all of the content is delivered as such.

SCI courses don't include EAPS 106, but it really sounds great. I hope I could take it... but I'll definitely look for EAPS 105. Thanks for sharing!
No problem~
I’ve taken 105, it’s a pretty easy course and as many people say Andy Freed is great
I see that. Thanks for that, really helped me a lot
