Comment:

Roland is a terrible professor. He is applying a flipped class model that just doesn't work for the content. He flips through 5 diagrams in 35 seconds, asks confusing and illogical clicker questions. The content would be interesting if he wasn't such a bad professor.

Really helpful guy. 10/10 would recommend him. He is genuinely such a nice prof and tries his best to help you out in your situation. I had a big problem for my midterm of Atsc 201 and he helped me out when I was feeling really low. To be honest, I wasnt expecting him to be able to help me out in my situation but he really did! I loved his class.

He is such a genuinely happy guy. He looks excited at the beginning of lectures and you can see he wants us to be excited too. He tries his best to make the content as interesting as possible. Its nice seeing someone who loves what they do. He also makes his slides clear and is open to any questions! In a class of 200 he makes it feel personal.

Hes the worst prof ever. Really really sweet guy but the content is SO heavy that i wish i never took this class. He gives me more homeworks than ALL my classes combined. I would drop it rn if if i did not get W on my transcript.

Roland is truly a real gem. He's enthusiastic, nice and funny, shares amusing personal anecdotes , and is very knowledgable. He is clear in lectures and is very organized when he plays videos and shows slides.

Roland is a gem and he clearly loves what he does. I took Eosc114 for a science credit and we had different professors for each week but overall he was the best and most clear in his expectations. His lectures are engaging and I wish UBC had more profs like him that actually make students want to learn. Absolute gem!

Roland truly wants the best for his students. The prof is amazing but the course itself is challenging. There are extensive Excel homework assignments due every week, alongside 20-30 pages of readings. He doesn't post his Powerpoint slides or the answer keys to practice exams, making it difficult to prepare for the midterm and final.

Amazing engaging prof! Clearly loves what he talks about which is inspiring. The course however is tough there is a lot lot of homework. Its not a hard course, just lots of work to do all the time and a lot of information.

His voice makes you listen and participate in class. The unit seems very hard but he made a great effort to make it easy for a 100 level course. Would definitely want to have him as a prof again!

Comment:

class is all based off a textbook which you have to print yourself and it is super long and dense to read. Flipping through it was a pain. Exams are all open book but if you dont have patience for this class to do excel assignments and pre reading 2 times a week dont take this class. It is easy to get a decent grade but gotta do all the hw

roland is so knowledgeable about meteorology and is a super effective instructor! the pre-readings & homework for this course took up so much time, but if you put in the time, you will get an A in this class. midterm and final are open book, but this course covers a lot of content. really interesting and applicable course! textbook is free online

Comment:

I took this course to fulfill science credits and was expecting to hate it. However, Roland and the other profs made it fun. There are three midterms and a final. All have a group component, which can really raise your grade. Roland's unit was the hardest, and his slideshows don't contain much information, so take good notes!

Comment:

SUCH an easy course. Open book exams mean that you don't have to memorize a thing. Assignments take many hours, but if you just put in the time you will get good grades on them and they're not worth much. He has structured this course so that it will have an A average. Great grade booster for anyone (not just those who are interested in ATSC)

Comment:

Roland is the best, but BE WARNED: The assignments take forever. If you give this class a lot of work, then you will do well. (Not a class to take purely for credit. If you are not interested in the subject, then this class is not right for you.) Otherwise, lectures are fun and it is really impressive how much we learn over this course.

Comment:

Prof. Stull really cares about his students, and he wants them all to learn. That's why this course is structured in a way that he efficiently uses his class time to clarify points that students didn't get from the pre-class quiz. Organize your time so you can do the homework, go to class, and enjoy the course.

Comment:

Assignments take sooo long its unacceptable. Other than that the course is straight forward. I got an A and I put this course on the back burner all semester. Even blew off and assignment or two. Use google for the warm up assignments because Roland also assigns too much reading.
