Dr. Peter McCall is a great professor, he brings a lot of passion to the class and makes it a very rewarding experience. A lot of reading, but there are few tests that aren't very hard if you do the reading, Definitely opened my eyes on the environment and law.

Comment:

This class was so fun! He posts all the lectures online and attendance is not mandatory, but I went to class anyway because the fossil and rock specimens he passes around the room really help to solidify the information. He really seems to care about the students, and he is very passionate about the subject!

Professor McCall is a dynamic, energetic lecturer who is really willing to help his students succeed. In class, he passed around so many different interesting artifacts and even provided lecture notes to help us with the key points. He is very humorous and kind, and the extra credit reading books he assigned were really interesting!

Very easy. But there's only a midterm and final so make sure you do well on both. The class is interesting because McCall is so animated. There's a lot of specimens passed around.

The class is interesting and Dr. McCall is definitely the best part of it. He is eccentric and makes the class and subject matter fun and interesting! He provides notes, so just study those.

Great teacher, I did not receive a good grade but it was completely my fault. The assignments are leaning towards heavy but doable. I enjoyed the class, he provided us with lots of interesting information under several discipline of science.

Comment:

I've taken four classes with him, and enjoyed them all, even the one class that had subject matter I didn't really care about. He's unusual but in a good way and entertaining. Seems to genuinely care that you learn something, not that the class's grades fall on a bell curve.

Fun, quirky, cool guy. Class was not terribly difficult so it's a good choice for a GPA boost. One of he few professors I've encountered at Case who seems concerned about the well-being of his students. He might do some goofy things during lectures but he's not genuinely weird as some other Case profs are.

The professor's beyond crazy, but he's incredibly smart. Lots of opportunity for extra credit so there's no way not to get an A unless you're extremely moronic.
