Can you expand on that a bit? I think that's who I'll be having. Do you know how much more work there was? Is it just the midterm and final or is there a term paper, group project, etc? It's a 2nd year option for me so I want an easy GPA booster.

FYI, I had co-profs. One of them was Stewart, can't remember the other. I had 2 midterms and a final.

Thanks! I don't really care as long as there aren't any projects or term papers and the prof is halfway interesting. I took Geology 209 last year and it was just the midterms and the final.

I had GOPH 375 with Hildebrand, and although the subject matter was super cool, the tests were really difficult, it was a lot of work. It ended up being a GPA ruiner for me.

Sounds like you had the same prof I had for that class, Janis Svilpis. I had him for a few courses--he's great! He gave me an A+ on a poetry essay once, which means it counted as a 4.3 in his calculations.
