Very intriguing course, especially for any biology/microbiology/geology students interested in space sciences. Fairly heavy on science writing skills - there are group essays every week.

Dr. Foster responds very quickly to emails and is generally helpful.

Exams and quizzes are very easy as long as you study the powerpoint slides. Make sure to start the weekly group essays a little early and put effort into them since they are graded increasingly strictly as the class goes on
