CIV300 is a fairly easy course that goes over the basics of meteorological phenomena.  Lectures and tutorials are not mandatory.  The professor usually just reads the slides during the lecture, so attendance isn’t necessary for success in this course.  As long as you read over the lecture slides on your own time and do the problem sets, there is no need for physical attendance.  This course does have a group project, but it is also fairly basic.  All we had to do for it was create a poster discussing some sort of issue that related to the environment along with a brief write up.  The course average was a B+.
