Online class. Your grade is based off of 3 Exams. All exams are timed, tricky, and curved. There is a lot of material and diagrams. Unfortunately, I did not learn much from taking this class. I think it would be better to take this class in person as some of the material is highly complex. Overall, I felt rushed during exams.

I took the online Weather class. Your grade is based off 3 online quizzes. The only time I opened the book was during the test. He gives you a study guide and practice quiz. Get the answers to the practice quiz and have them ready during the exam and you're set. Good for clearing GEs not for learning about geography.

I took his online lecture course, so I've never met the guy. It was my first time taking an online course, and I will never take another ever again. I'm sure he's a good professor, but I realized I'm better off in an actual classroom to learn. The class is all fine and dandy until the test comes. Good luck.

Comment:
If you're distracted and annoyed by disorganization...I wouldn't recommend him! I had to rewrite his notes, 'cause they were so scatter-brained. I'm glad it wasn't a lecture course! But if that doesn't bother you, he's a very responsive, helpful, and clear professor!

There was alot of material to cover, but if you printout all the lectures and images and don't wait until the last minute to study you'll be fine. He's VERY responsive to any questions you ask on the Bulletinboard. He also grades on a crve. I enjoyed this class very much. He's a nice guy! There is no textbook to buy.

WOW, THE BEST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN WITH HIM. ANSWERS EMAILS RIGHT AWAY AND COMMUNICATES IN THE BULLETINS. MUST TAKE. ALL THE OTHER TEACHERS NEED TO LEARN A THING OR TWO FROM HIM. SMOOTH SAILING COURSE, AND VERY INTERESTING. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! IF YOU DON'T TAKE HIM, YOU MISS OUT ON AN EASY A.

I took his online class...there are only 3 quizes (including the final). No class or online meetings. Make sure you print out all his lectures and the images. He says: "As long as you study the content Module+Image Database+practice questions=A+" and that is so true...easy A+

Online classes are so easy. I've taken two of his online classes and got a A in one and B in the other. Missed the final and still got a B. He gives a hell of a curve on the tests to where everyone passes. If you take anyother teacher your not the smartest. And DO NOT BUY THE BOOK.

TOO EASY! Barely tried and got a solid B. Very helpful. Don't buy the book-all you need is online notes. Make sure to check the website at least twice a week to keep updated on what's going on. 1-2 homework, 3 tests (including final). TAKE ONLINE, save yourself some in-class time!

YOU DO NOT NEED THE BOOK. His on-line quizzes make the class very easy. He is hysterical, as his English is not very good. Very flexible, etc. I got a B+ and barely studied. He said Google.com will be the book next semester. Lucky...

Great teacher, makes everything clear and all test answers available. His accent is a bit thick but he plays with it- great sense of humor. Doesnt require a text either.
