Comment:

If you simply take an interest to the work and do the homework it's an easy A. Townie is a great teacher and I really enjoyed his lectures. Very smart and funny guy. He's led an interesting life and has tons of stories. You learn so much more than what you expect in his class. Take him if you have the chance.

Townie is AMAZING. There are quizzes almost every week, but they're easy and he drops the lowest quiz grade. The practice tests are nearly identical to the exam, but you really do have to study anyway. Lots of extra credit opportunities. But attend lecture, they're long but he tells you all of what you need to know! Take him!

Townie is honestly one of the best professors at Brookdale. I would have not got my degree if it wasnt for him. If you need a lab science for your degree, you are a fool not to take him!

Comment:

Townie was super sweet. He is an old man who has been through alot -- he rambles alot during his lectures but every test he gives you a practice exam with the answer word bank and then the test he gives you the next week is basically the exact same thing with a few added questions. He's so sweet just long boring lectures. Good luck!

Comment:

If you need a lab science, I would highly recommend taking Townie for Oceanography. Took it for the 6 week sessions, not to bad considering you get 4 credits. Quizzes and Tests are ALL multiple choice, and offers a lot of extra credit. If you study you should have no trouble passing. Wish he taught the lab part though.

I'm gonna miss Townie. Real nice, laid back, colorful personality. Very rare you find a Prof. that is extremely knowledgeable in his field AND a very good teacher. .Weekly quizzes (some group some independent). Study guide/Practice Test for each unit: Study and get an A. Take Townie if you need a Lab!

Comment:

really cool professor who is really understanding if you have any personal issues outside of class. just show up, participate, do the homework, and the quizes and tests will be easy. he gives practice tests for you to study before the tests which are almost identical to the actual tests. quizes are short, but he drops the lowest quiz grade.

Comment:

He's a really passionate and almost overqualified science teacher. He knows literally everything and he'll talk about something random that you've never heard of before and break it down meticulously for an hour. All in all, a cool guy, good and fair teacher. Ask him about "fistulas". That is a VERY interesting story and goes on for an hr at least.

IF YOU NEED A SCIENCE LAB, TAKE THIS CLASS. It is the easiest A you will ever earn. He offers so much extra credit, its impossible to fail. Townie is a little nutty, but hes a good guy, very easy going. Tests & quizzes are easy (almost word for word off study guide he provides) The only bummer is weekly required hand-in homework.

Easy class. Gives practice exams a week before the test so you can study it. The exams are practically the same. He offers extra credit that can boost anyone's grade tremendously. Take if you need a science and do not like any sciences. He is a pretty nice guy.

Townie is awesome!! Although I wasn't really interesting in the class before, I really enjoyed taking it in the end. I didn't do too well on the exams, but I walked out with an A because he offered SO MUCH extra credit. I definitely recommend him!!!!!

Townie is great. He's nice, understanding, and gives lots of extra credit opportunities. His homework can be lengthy but it's worth it when you ace the tests without studying. He gets a little over enthusiastic sometimes but that's just his passion for the subject. If you do the homework, labs and tests you'll be fine.

Comment:

This guy is a joke! He often shows up half hour late. He has good reviews is because he gives so much extra credit that you can earn a D but walk out with an A. If you want to actually learn something don't waste your money. If you want an easy A he's your man. Maybe things will be better when that Sandy Hook building is condemned.

Townie was the BEST! The lecture wasn't normally too exciting, but he made it work. The class before an exam he will give you a practice test to make sure you understand the material, goes over it the day of the exam, and will give you the test right after! Gives LOADS of extra credit opportunities, which are very easy loved this class SO MUCH

Townie is the man! does go off on tangents, but everything comes together and in the end helps to prepare you for his exams, which are a breeze. He gives you an old copy of the exam for hw to do with your book, then in class with a partner, reviews all ?s you have difficulty with, then gives you the exam right after it so its fresh. TAKE HIS CLASS

Townie is a pretty fun teacher, he has many cool stories. He gives a lot of extra credit, I got relatively lowish grades (C-C+) on tests but still got a B
