This course is important and is heavy on both concepts and calculations. The optional textbooks are not necessary, but they provide additional equations that may not be given in the lecture slides and typically provide additional discussion of some important equations.

This course covers how groundwater and contaminants within it transport. While the only prerequisits are ENVE 3003 and ENVE 3004, information from CIVE 3208 (e.g., flow nets) and CHEM 2800 (e.g., adsorption) is also helpful.

The professor was relatively well organized and available to ask questions. The professor kept on schedule and put a lot of effort in to help prepare students for the midterm and exam. Some of the calculations are a bit hard to understand, but the TA or prof should be able to re-explain them in office hours if you ask them to.

Keep up with the course material, start assignments early, and ask as many questions as you need to in order to understand the material. This is generally one of the harder courses from 4th year environmental engineering.

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.
