We learned about different environmental hazards, how they are changing, and how humans have attempted to manage them.

I learned a lot about environmental science, which was what I intended to do by taking the course. I felt like I was able to better understand what an environmental science class would entail, which was helpful to determining what kind of classes I want to take in the future.

I learned a lot more about different hazards that are present in the environment and how to use physics and statistics to calculate how risky each one is.

I learned about various environmental disasters (hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, flooding, etc.) and risks (arsenic, asbestos) and the statistical analysis of risk.

I learned a basic understanding of natural risks and the social and political ways in which humans react to them which was very much appreciated. It went into deep details in weird areas but as a whole the class is pretty basic information so you do not have to be an environmental major.

I learned about natural disasters, their consequences, and mitigation efforts. We also learned about risk evaluation, normal distribution, and other statistical methods.

Learned about statistical risk and how to think about the impact of natural disasters and exposure risks such as asbestos.

A lot, really. Tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes, geological hazards.

Don't just expect to learn about climate change; we learned about flooding, coastal erosion, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes as well as other risks such as radon/asbestos exposure, risk analysis, and space objects

The course is interesting but requires a math level that is perhaps not covered in enough detail; the lecture focuses only on theory and the discussion sections on the necessary quantitative skills, but it's hard for students who cannot attend the discussion sessions at the times they are held. That said, the professor is a very kind and capable guy.
