I cant take this guy anymore! I handed in an assignment to his mailbox the day it was due and a week after I did I got an email from him saying that he hasnt recieved it and it was late. Same with an essay that I put in his hands, he said he has not recieved. Dont ever take a class with this guy, he also has his favorites!

Comment:

I won't lie, this guy does know his stuff. He knows the world of Geography inside and out. But he is a TERRIBLE Professor. He has no idea how to teach, lecture or in any way effectively communicate the information to you. His assignments were pointless and it didn't matter what you got on them, cause you won't find out til after the semester.

This guy is so booooring. His class is not structured at all its not even funny. Everytime you talk to the guy he seems annoyed. Do not take his class and for the students taking his 3047 class get out if you can.

Comment:

Although his classes seem useless right now he really knows what he is talking about and can help you get further on in life. Pay attention and get on his good side. Smaller classes with him help you see his softer side.

Comment:

This guy is completly useless. Try updating your material, and we might learn something useful, not junk from the 1700's. He's also not a people person. You can't just talk to him without him yelling at you or anything...

Comment:

In all honestly, this teacher is one of the worst. He says he'll send you the notes and not to write it down, and guess what, you'll only see half of them. He is good at telling you what's on tests, but completly useless for exams. Just tells you to read everything. As for teaching, it's not up his alley. He's a nice guy, but terible teacher.

Comment:

To quote him: "Tests are mandatory. They must be written on the date set, no matter what. I've had students who have lost their enitre family days before the test, and I didn't excuse him. The only acceptable reason for missing a test is your death." He wasn't kidding when he said this.

Run away from him as fast as possible.....he makes no sence at all...he rambles on and on for hours about NOTHING. He assumes you have a VAST knowlege of the class BEFORE you take it...

Comment:

If you want to catch up on some sleep, go to his lectures. Very uninterested in teaching, I think he even came to class in golf spikes once. Although, if you want a decent mark in a geography course, take his intro to cartography course.

bright guy, but not a great teacher...doesn't seem to be really into teaching - if you're a real keener he might spend some time with you, otherwise he doesn't seem to care

Better outside of the classroom - easy tests and exams - but if you want to learn don't take a class with him.

He is a huge ass jerk. I dropped his class the very first day. He has no manners and no people skills. If you have the option to take a course with any other teacher, do it!! You'll thank yourself for it later.
