Professor Wilson is a great and caring professor. Grading is strict, so don't take LOTC if you expect an easy A but material is interesting and she is an amazing lecturer.

This introductory course explores the dynamic interactions between coastal processes and human societies. Students will investigate the physical, ecological, and social dimensions of coastal living, including the challenges and opportunities posed by coastal environments. The structure of the class will be split into two modules. The first will establish a shared understanding and basis of knowledge for all students on the processes that shape coastal landscapes. The second will delve into 5 case studies, where we will explore diverse coastal landscapes and the connections between coastal processes, hazards, built environments, and society. There will be weekly formative assessments in the form of quizzes or reading reflections to assess student learning and engagement with the material.
