This is probably one of the easiest 4th year environmental engineering courses. Not everyone finds the course interesting, but it's useful information.

This course covers a wide variety of topics (municipal, mine, and hazardous waste) but does not go into great depth on any single topic. Most of the content is factual and conceptual, though there are some relatively easy calculations to learn.

The professor kept the lectures short (we usually ended classes 20 minutes early), kept to a good schedule (didn't fall behind much), and tried to keep the course interesting. The professor was available to ask questions and was relatively well organized. Some assignment questions (especially from the first one) were somewhat ambiguous. This professor allowed students to have a double-sided 8.5 by 11" reference sheet for the midterm and exam.

Take decent notes and put some efforts on assignments because the exam is worth a lot. However, other courses (e.g., ENVE 4006) should take priority.
