Comment:

The guy was boring I had him for human geo. My minor is geo but physical. I never went to the class because he seemed so grumpy, and it was such a slow dry class. He also always gave me a dirty look whenever I bothered to show up to class. At the final he seem all interested in how I found the exam I said I did well, I'm sure he didn't want that.

Comment:

Be prepared to take a lot of notes, lots of details to remember on tests, not the most exciting person to listen to but he seems genuinely interested in the students and how they are finding the course

Comment:

Overall the class was average. His lecture method is pretty dry, and some of his test questions are tricky and kind of like "where did he get these from?" However, he is a really helpful prof who does care about how his students are finding the course material. The final was very difficult. I don't recommend this course for getting an 'easy' A.

Comment:

He was an okay prof. His lectures were sometimes confusing and disorganized, but his tests ended up being fair. The textbook was useless because he hardly assigned any readings and if there were pages to be read he had the wrong numbers on the course outline!

I thought he was awful! He was unclear when answering questions and generally didn't like to be asked questions in class. His exam was difficult but his tests were fairly easy.

Very nice professor, even though I was in a large first-year class he took time to ask individual students how they were finding the course and tests.

Very nice guy. Very helpful, but course is a little more difficult than it should be. You have to go to class and take notes and he only dictates them orally.

This is a demanding professor with high expectations, however, he is very helpful and actually cares about his students. Don't be afraid to seek help from him. Attendence is important.

could be worse, but there's far better. seriously, how much do we REALLY need to know about shanty-towns - the man could teach a course on that by itself?
