This guy's a jerk. I can't believe he's still teaching. He acts like he hates it and every student in the class. Avoid him if at all possible.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? If you dont finish the list of minerals, etc., dont fret, they mean nothing as far a grade. Just go to his office hours a couple of times. If you wait to see him till later in the semester he will berate you there in his office. If the class is not required do not, I repeat DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!

Comment:

This teacher is easily the worst professor I have ever had. Half the time he is speaking jibberish, he has no sense of orginization, doesnt follow the syllabus at all, He doesnt assign any work barely gives any quizes. By doing this no one knows what he is saying leaving the whole class dumb-founded and confused. I want the whole world to know that

He is the worst teacher on earth. I would never take him ever again. He can not teach and does not make any sense. Even if I was a Meteo major I would fail this class.

Comment:

I can't believe the university still let's him teach. Its a shame the enviromental studies program requires it. The material is very pertinent to environmental science but he tortures you while learning it. He changes class times as if his class was the only thing in our lives and the field trips ew

Comment:

He is a terrible terrible horrible teacher. He talks in circles and doesn't go over the notes at all. He's more interested in talking about his slides of his vacations then actually teaching class. He talked an hour about satellites/satellite pictures...like honestly WHO DOES THAT!!

Comment:

I have much interest in meteorology, but the professor just did not know how to make it interesting. I ended up leaving this class with the same knowledge that I came in with, along with some random stuff. Take caution when taking this class. Fortunately, he does curve things, if that is an incentiv

Comment:

I have NEVER had a class that upset me as much as this one. He is completely uncompassionate, I think he gets a thrill of making students upset. Boring as all heck, totally unfair, and expected way too much from us. I had to drop this class, and Ive never dropped a single class before (IM A SENIOR!)

HOW IS HE STILL TEACHING?! He's HORRIBLE. Plan on spending ALL your free time on his class, and he even schedules exams outside of normal classtime, then gives you a hard time if you have a class conflict with his exam. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!

I didn't like the way he put his note pack together. I didn't relate to the text. His lectures rarely related to the notes. If we had a question on our lab manual, he made me feel stupid because I didn't understand it.
