Comment:
Prof Ford is one of the best I've ever had. His lectures are laid back but rich in details from the many years of his work in his field. Exams and papers were not gimmes but take good notes, scan the book and participate in class - got me an A. Field trip is highlight of his classes.

Comment:
not an easy class, lectures are a bit boring and tests were pretty hard. you need to read the book to really get an A on the tests. other than that he's pretty laid back and nice. there is a downtown field trip and 2 small papers.

Comment:
This class isn't that bad. He has a lot of picture slides he'll show and his lectures can be boring since there's no visual presentation except his own chalk drawings, but the tests are not that hard. Most people ended up getting a B and above. p.s. it's hard to stay awake sometimes b/c it's him speaking the whole time.

Offers many viewpoints and practical information. A fair amount of reading, but that is all. Tests are reasonably challenging and reflect what is learned in the class. A couple papers, but nothing major. Great, dry sense of humor.

Comment:
There was only one major paper of 15 pgs but you could add pictures and graphs to shorten the writing. also three short 1-2 pg papers. you don't write that much some are just lazy and stupid

Has an odd sense of humor. The subject is interesting, but the classes always seem to go SO slowly. It can be really boring at times. I've had to write 21 pages worth of papers for just his class alone this semester.
