I had Dr. Mayfield as a lab instructor for Global Climate Change. Before this course, I hated labs, but Dr. Mayfield has made me actually enjoy them. Hes super friendly and gives good feedback on lab reports, which are super easy.

Comment:
Dr. Mayfield is a fantastic professor- his background is super cool and he made a point to know everyone's name in a big lecture hall. His tests were unexpectedly hard for an intro class, and he does test out of the textbook- make sure you read the chapters. He does give extra credit though and attendance counts for extra points. Really good prof.

Comment:
Dr. Mayfield expects a lot of his students. You will have to work for your grade. Textbook reading is extremely mandatory: 20% of his tests are straight out of the textbook and not covered in lecture. He really cares about his students and if you go to him with questions or concerns he will work with you and make sure you're doing well.

Comment:
Mike Mayfield is by far one of the top five professors I have ever had. You will not want to skip this class - not because attendance is mandatory, but because you genuinely want to be there. He is very nice and funny, passionate about the subject matter, straightforward about grading, and is a whitewater kayaker, so get psyched for stories!

This professor is fantastic at what she does. She is great at explaining the material and is so enthusiastic that you'd be crazy to not enjoy her class. I never wanted to skip her class and her assignments are actually interesting. Tests are easy-peeezy as long as you pay attention in class (which isn't hard to do). You'll LOVE HER!

Great professor. Class interesting and very informative. I didn't like geography before this class and I have now considered changing my major to geography. A very helpful teacher and easy on the eyes. Study for the test and you will do fine.

Mike could be one of the best professors on campus. He knows his stuff, he is very helpful, and he is a fun guy. The tests are not too hard if you can transfer your thoughts to paper. About 15 short answers and 2 essays per test. As long as you pay attention and take notes, I do not see a problem at all.

he's a pretty okay guy. i had a little trouble in this class, maybe it was because i jumped from 1000 level to 3000 level geography classes. i though it was a bit hard. his tests are kinda hard too... all written. if you study for tests (a lot) you should be good. he gave a crap load of notes!

Not fair!! I was in the hospital for emergency surgery and he didn't help me out at all, counted me absent (part of your grade) even though i had a note. Also has favorites, if you are a guy and like UNC you should be ok. The test are hard, but if you go to class and take good notes they arent that bad.

he makes a very dull subject interesting, but it could be his voice that keeps me interested- its really cool sounding. the materials fairly easy, but you have to be there for his lectures everyday or you'll be lost.

Alot of writing for the exams, but you will also learn alot. You can learn from just being around him. A heart of gold and really smart too. Go on his field study courses/study abroad. You'll be glad you did!
