Physical oceanography (MAR 352)

Commute is gonna suck and my physics background is very weak but otherwise was kind of looking forward to this class (yay marine lab that isn't bio + boat time) but everyone I've talked to keeps saying bad things - warren sucks, labs and exams are insane, it's the hardest MAR class, etc. I haven't heard anything good. Seems exaggerated but I'm a lot more worried about what I'm walking into now. Anyone on here taken this class and willing to share?
