Comment:

Good teacher. He makes the class seem like it will be easy. He grades hard on papers. Well harder than you think he will. Test are fairly easy. Right from the notes but you need to memorize all of it. Make sure to look at the pictures in his powerpoint.He nice one-on-one.

Fantastic professor. Try to get him off track, he stays there and oddly youtube was incorporated into lectures quite frequently.

Comment:

Plays pointless videos from the Onion. Has interview on weather.com Dust Bowl. Really full of himself. thinks he's hilarious. exams aren't hard. if you want to pass, take all the map quizzes, don't miss class, take down the ridiculous amount of notes. it's about 3 notebook pages front and back per class. CRAMP!

Comment:

Dr. Porter is one of the few teachers who I always wanted to go to class. The material isn't hard, but it isn't easy either. However, if you go to class, you will have a better grasp on the material simply because Porter makes everything connect and make sense. A great teacher, who makes his class fun. Beware of the TA though; he can be useless.

This guy is my favorite. He actually makes class enjoyable. You don't NEED to buy the book if you come to class daily, but it will come in handy sometimes. I would definately recommend this class to anyone!

He is a great teacher! The class was not made easy and he did not try to make it easy but he is just so good at his subject and gets the material across well. That made it easy. He has many great stories and has personal experience in his field. Take his class!

Comment:

He seems easy-going. Sometimes he's funny. However, I often forget to do his online tests. I had a conflict with his attendence policy. I had to rebuttal quite a bit but I finally convinced him that his policy needed editing. So, he will work with you.

Jess Porter is an amazing teacher. He knows what he's talking about, he tells good stories, he's funny, and he is always willing to help. This class is not easy, but it's not hard either. Go to class, take notes, use the textbook website, study, and you'll do well.

Comment:

Unapprochable teacher. Tests don't follow study guide. His new baby comes before his teaching & he has a bad attitude. He favors the athletes over everyone else & they get by with more. Map quizzes are dumb!!

Made things fun and interesting, hope wherever he's ended up he's getting well paid because there are a lot of people out there who can't measure up to the way he teaches.

He is quite funny. The tests are pretty easy as long as you study. Map quizzed can be easy 'A'. Good class to take.
