I wasn't a fan and I found it pretty boring. The course makes me want to never eat a granny smith apple again.
by Makayla D. on April 28, 2026
Great course to take! It was really easy and straightforward. If you take environmental science in high-school this will take you no more than a couple hours max, if not its still very easy to learn.
