Comment:

Very easy class. It is a gen-ed worth taking for the BS requirement. He gives you the test questions in class so go to class if you want to do well on the exams. You meditate before class which is pretty awesome. The only downside was that class started at 9AM but he is a very humble and nice professor. Overall, it is a gen-ed worth taking.

This is a great class to gain practical writing skills that will help you land a job, get a grant, or save the world. Lots of writing(it IS a writing class after all!). He gives very clear instructions, as well as sends email reminders with those instructions again. Awesome guy - would totally recommend his classes!

He knows that this is just a gen ed requirement. Take it. So easy, pretty interesting. He tells you exact test questions during lecture, and they end up being about half of each exam. No homework. Great guy, easy A, highly recommend.

John Gerber will have you take a breath before class starts, everyone shares how they are doing and then we move onto the days topics. Class is always relaxed and integrative, everyone works together and its always a good time. John Gerber brings a professor's presence with chill, peaceful, compassionate vibes.

Easiest class at Umass. Great professor. No exams, easy homeworks, and you actually get something out of attending class. The guest speakers that come in are inspirational, and the class will definitely change your outlook.

I loved this class. He gives you test questions in lecture, so it helps to attend, but you will still do very well not going. Exams are extremely easy; has a review day before an exam. An easy A. A great professor. A great class. Take it (or any class with John) if you have the chance!

If you have the opportunity, take a class with John. He has a lot to teach you. Sustainable Living improved my life in ways I don't even understand. No matter how I felt going in, I always left this class with a smile and a great energy. Incredible.

John Gerber is one of the best teachers at UMass Amherst. This Spring class is really lenient and fun which involves living sustainably in society and environment, & personal growth. There are no books, essays, quizzes, tests, or final, only 15 easy SPARK HW and 20 days of PRS, plus tons of extra credit. I got 107.5% for the semester.

Really easy class. PRS, so you have to go. Writing assignments are easy and you will do well if you follow the directions. Quizzes are easy points. Nice guy who really cares about what he teaches.

Such a nice guy and a really easy class. Definitely take it. Sometimes it gets a little boring and there is homework every week. All the homework is easy though. You have to try to not get an A in the class. There is a PRS that counts for 10% of your grade, but you can skip 15% of the classes. Def worth taking!

Easiest class ever. One homework a week (takes no more than 30 minutes), a prs question or two every class (but you only need 85% of clicks for the semester to get full credit), no book, and the material is great. LONG LIVE THE BREATH!
