Comment:

Very knowledgeable and knows how to teach. Tries to be humorous, whether or not it works still reflects favorably on him - it shows his enthusiasm for teaching. Overall grade based on 20 daily online quizzes, 5 homework assignments (irrelevant material - his TA grades it), 3 lab assignments (he does it with the class), 3 exams, and final exam.

Comment:

Dr. Sinclair is a great semester. Some people say he is hard, but I didn't find that to be the case at all. He takes a lot of pride in what he does, and is passionate about the subject. If you pay attention in class, you WILL get the material, as he presents it in a way that is easy to understand. Great professor, great guy.

Awesome teacher. Really likes the subject and is very easy to understand. As long as you do the online quizzes it should be an easy A. Test questions are taken directly from the quizzes.

Comment:

This is professor is part of the Arizona Origin Science Association - a group that holds the literal truth of the bible. They think the Earth is about 6000 years old. It is truly amazing and scary someone with a Phd buys into that stuff. This does not help Embry-Riddle's reputation.

Tough class. Got a B in James Weather 1, got an F in Sinclair's weather 2 the very next semester. He only offers three assignments and three exams for the entire semester. I have to repeat the class, I shan't be attending his.

Comment:

Knows his stuff from previous experience. Great accent, amplifies the learning experience. Makes for fun times out of class impersonating his voice. ;) Animated Teacher, you may have to catch a flying chicken, avoid a live chicken during the final exam, if you fall asleep you will be humiliated, if you ask dumb questions you will be called out.

Excellent teaching techniques through easy to understand drawings. Enthusiastic. Tests were hard but you can make up any one you want (3 total). The learning questions (homework) helped a little bit. the best WX teacher here tho. Rubber chickens!

Sinclair is the man, no doubt. His accent is great, he is very animated and he will teach you the material. He draws great, and helps you learn. Utilize his office hours, it will help. Aceing climatology is NOT hard, he will emphasize the critical material. I would take him for every meteorlogical class I could!!!

Good guy! Knows how to teach the material that he knows so well. Very entertaining, he'll keep you awake as opposed to other weather teachers. Make sure you read the assignments out of the book though. Highly recommended!

He's great. He knows his stuff, and really wants his students to know thier stuff. Tests are extremely hard, but he'll help you out if you go into office hours. He also has an obsession with chickens.
