Comment:

150$ nonrefundable required online access. not clear with expectations. condescending. prides himself on failing students for arbitrary reasons. I thought I could handle it because oceanography is part of my major but I can't deal with the sheer lack of respect and humanity in this professor.

Comment:

I wouldn't take this professor again, I took his online class and he would send emails all the time about the assignments due dates and saying that he will drop who ever misses an assignment . Sorry but this is college not elementary, so I dropped his class for that reason. If you have to take Geog 306, I would suggest taking it at another campus.

Yes, he's super particular about formatting, but come on... It is posted from day 1 WITH EXAMPLES... this is college folks, if you can't follow directions you deserve to be docked points! Only used the textbook for tests, assignments are from online source. Fascinating material, great layout, quick grades, would take again in a heartbeat!

Comment:

This class material is enriching. He is sticky about the margins, due dates, & how you write emails. Follow the rules! He's really just professional and expects you to act the same. His organization makes this class worth it. He has a system on grading. You need to turn it in on time, do ALL the extra credit. I missed an A bc of this. C.N.

Comment:

This guy is very particular about his grading, if you don't turn in the hw EXACTLY how he likes it formatted (down to the margins) you get docked a significant amount of points. He has very little patience and is very unpleasant to communicate with when asking questions, even though my class is online .. I will not take him again

Comment:

I would be better off Googling the terms I might think I need to know regarding climate versus taking this class. If I could give 30+ students a poorly written syllabus, tell them to buy a $150 book, then, "good luck, here are your assignments", I'd love to be professor. Lastly, don't tell your class you're ready to retire during the orientation.

Comment:

If you can avoid taking this class- please do. Hunter has you purchase a very expensive online textbook through which you do weekly hw assignments that take at least an hour. This is all the instruction you receive. Your grade is based on these tough and tedious assignments as well as the finals. He does not teach any material, you MUST read.

Great guy. Lectures are a little boring but he is very funny and literally gives you test answers if you're paying attention. There is a lot of reading but its not too bad. If you participate in class he will really take a liking to you. He offers extra credit that is super easy and really helps your grade. I passed with 105%.

Comment:

He's just not very organized. His syllabus is a big post on d2l that isn't very specific, and the textbook he uses isn't user friendly at all. He is picky about plagiarism but the class is online so the homework you turn in sounds like the textbook because that's how the information was explained. He also seems unforgiving of student mistakes.

Probably the worst class I've taken at SCC. The assignments are confusing and he gets mad if you ask him for clarification. If you do take his class, find a study group ASAP. It will save your grade.

Comment:

This online class was SUPER EASY! All I had to do was read, do the weekly homework assignment, which took maybe 2 hours a week, and pass. Sure the materials for the class are a little pricey, but being it is online and some of the information available is interesting. I recommend him for online only, his tests and homework are very easy/open book.

Comment:

BORING BORING BORING. No structure. You literally do the same thing every single class. All you do is read and listen. The tests are so hard and that's the only part of your grade. The extra credit he does provide, don't be fooled it does nothing to your grade in the end even if it may seem like you have a good grade

Comment:

This class was such a waste of time. I do not feel like I have learned much of anything. The book is very expensive and all you get is a code to view the book online just for that semester. The prof. does not explain anything. You are expected to teach yourself by reading the 50+ pages per chapter. Two tests, multiple choice.

He goes through the lectures very quickly and does not give much time to take notes. He is not clear when it comes to due dates, homework, class work, or anything like that. If you do not ask, you will not get your answer.

This is the worst professor I've ever taken. He doesn't help when it comes to questions, tries to belittle you in front of the class, and NONE of his notes are on any of the tests or homework. He assigns a ton of homework and never goes over it.

I was insulted by professor Hunter when I was trying to get information on the course, not only is he rude but he had the audacity to belittle my profession. I was so excited to learn something new, but I would not recommend him, based on he treatment of the students.

Comment:

My experience communicating with this professor was terrible. He was disrespectful and unwilling to admit to mistakes he had made when confronted about them. Assignments are otherwise straightforward, everything pulled from the class materials. If you choose to take this course, work hard and it will pay off.

Comment:

Yes, he was hard but after I got the hang of his hw format, it was doable. Just give yourself time to do hw and study before tests and you'll get a decent grade. He responded quick to my emails and graded hw fast. Tests are looong but if youve been keeping up, theyre ok. I liked the (expensive) textbook format, Im keeping mine actually.

Ok if your stupid.. don't take this class. lol I took 18 units and took 2 of his online courses. I barely tried and half asked the homework and still got Bs in both classes. I would have done better if I was in a classroom environment . So.. just make sure you know how to read and actually do the homework and you'll be fine ;)
