Comment:

Similar to mineralogy, he cares for the subject and wants to see you put in all the effort you can to understand the material. If you work hard and he sees it, he'll make sure you get the grade you deserve.

I have taken two classes from Dr. Fleming. He is an awesome professor! We need more profs like this at Southern. He is very helpful but you have to study.

Dr. Fleming will provide you all the material needed to understand and pass the course, but it's YOUR job to study it all and learn the science ON YOUR OWN. NO EXTRA CREDIT!!! Otherwise, he's always in his office for questions from students (as long as they're constructive)

Dr. Fleming is awesome! Always answers questions, never treats you like you're stupid and will try just about anything to get you to understand what he's talking about if you put forth the effort too. Gives tons of examples, let's you know what you'll basically need for an exam. Good labs if you pay attention and plenty of time to finish them.

DR FLEMING is the best, if you take notes in the class and go over them before any test.. you have a sure A.... people who dont do well in his classes, are either always abscent, lazy, and not willign to do any homework!!

Awesome teacher. Makes everything perfectly clear and answers questions. Doesn't put people down at all. Willing to help at all times and actually cares. Level of work is mediocre and he grades on a curve. If you're not trying though he'll spot you out.

He's definitely not easy, so don't take this class unless you're really willing to try. He grades on a curve though and is always willing to help when you don't understand something.

This is not the easiest class but he is willing to help. He definetly knows his stuff! His tests are challenging but also grades on a curve. I recommend this professor as long as your willing to put in a little effort.

Comment:

This class is hard. Don't take this class to just fill the university science requirement. The class meets extra hours per week and most everyone in class has a science background. Teacher is helpful and interesting but way too much work. I should have taken ESC 110.

Final had nothing to do with ANYTHING taught in class!!! Expected us to know stuff that we never went over, we were supposed to have remembered it from previous classes in the department, of which I'd had none because I was a transfer!!

Dr. Fleming was awesome! He was always available for extra help, and his lectures were very interesting. he made the material easy to understand. LOTS of volume in the course i took (and a cumulative final), but keep up w/ the notes and you'll be fine
