He is awesome! He can get off subject some but if you go to class, get an A on the first test and do the extra credit, you'll get an A in the class no problem.

PROS: Doc is great! I feared ESC, but had a blast w/ Doc! He tells great stories & has a looney sense of humor. Always go to class - he may sneak some extra credit in on days when people are skipping CONS: If you have a Conservative-belief system you may be annoyed w/ his occasional rants. Also, his final is VERY difficult, so study hard!

Doc is awesome. I would definitely take him. Easy class. No work to do except the tests. Doc often goes off the subject and talks about something irrelevant. It is quite funny. Take him for sure.

Lots of slide shows and lots of notes. Very knowledgeable and very good at teaching. He is very experienced and it shows in his organization. Not a bad class.

Comment:

Doc is a good professor. I thought the class was going to be boring, and at times, it was a little bit. Overall an easy class. He has copies of notes in his office that you can use if you miss a lecture. DON'T MISS LAB! Tends to get side-tracked a lot. Very funny guy. I'd recommend him.

easy class, half the time i think he may be on drugs but its always quite amusing. Harder than i thought it would be, but he shortens the lab times and you dont need to go to all the classes because he has a binder with all the notes in it for the whole semester that you can just copy!

Great guy, very experienced (over 80 semesters at La Crosse). He is tough, but you will learn a lot. He manages to keep 3 lectures and a lab interesting. Love the "field trips." Recommended.

Kind of a funny guy, but surprisingly hard. I recommend someone else, I hear that there are many better profs available in the Geography department.

Doc rules! If you have the chance to take a class with him, do not hesitate. Easy class to substitute for a science requirement. Gives extra credit even though it's not really needed if you go to class. His rambling is entertaining.

I'm convinced Wingate comes to class on some form of hallucinogenic drugs. Makes it interesting. After taking class I have now mastered critical thinking. Overall, Class more difficult than expected.

Funny guy! Needs to keep his opinions to himself. Ok class. Not what I expected, I took it to learn, but he makes it difficult. It's more like a take notes, memorize, then take tests. Overall, an ok class.
