Comment:
Dr. Tarhule really cares about his students and if you let him know that you need something, he will do everything he can to help. Physical Geography is kind of tough but if you study really hard starting about two weeks before the test and then go to labs and get help from the TA, you'll do fine. Go to class!!

He is a great professor in that he knows the material and he is well respected and interesting. However, he is difficult to please. He expects you to come into the class knowing about the material before he even assigns any reading or research. He is difficult to impress.

Comment:
Physical Geography is the absolute worst. DO NOT TAKE IT with Dr. Tarhule. He thinks the course is for people who are majoring in geography and it's way too much material and he is not helpful or understanding! The lab sucks, he doesn't care if you have a bad grade and he's rude to students in class. If I could go back, I would have dropped it.

It is the end of the semester and I have not received one reply to emails concerning assignments. Does not explain what he is looking for and then grades tough. Would not recommend.

Course was more difficult than it should have been. You are pretty much on your own to figure it out. Grading was harsh on homework and exams and much of the homework involves computer programs that are obscure, hard to access on personal computers, and have no instructions for use.

Comment:
Had him for Hydrologic Science. Do NOT take! Terrible class with a terrible professor! He was RUDE to students and largely unhelpful, his lectures were boring, and he assigned lengthy and difficult homework assignments that he would take forever to grade. Exams were difficult too. A condescending man who thought his class was easy but was not.

Took his Into Physical Geog. lab class. I think he helped our group a few times. I took a difficult lecture class and wasn't doing so well in it. He helped me pass the classes (graded together) after I'd made several simple mistakes by letting me write a paper on ECON GEOG of Subsaharan Africa. I learned a lot from the article and happy he helped

Hydrology is my of my most favorite classes I have taken at OU. If you find the opportunity to take this class, you won't regret it. He is great at explaining things in class, and when I did go to office hours, he was more than inviting. He gives a laugh here and there too, which doesnt hurt! Love Dr. Tarhule!

Dr. Tarhule's Seminar on the Economic Geography of Subsaharan Africa was one of the best classes I've taken at OU. His lectures were well organized, interesting, and relevant, and his syllabus coincided with what he taught. I learned a lot from the class and felt that he was a fair grader.

Comment:
Geography isn't my major; truthfully, I was really just taking this class during the summer to get rid of the "science with a lab" credit. After taking this class, I know I decided to take the right class. He makes learning about geography way more fun than anyone would think. I wish some of the teachers in my major department were as good as him.
