Comment:

He's a really nice professor and all. The assignments were vague, and I think it just depends on which TA you have in order to get a good mark. But the exam really screwed me over; you really need to know every specific point he has in your lecture notes to get full marks.

Assignments are very vague and stupid. The TA is useless just like the tutorials. The tutorials is a waste of time and it doesnt help me think critcally. I regret taking this course!!!

Comment:

I dont know why others have rated this professor so low. Michael is a good professor through and through a good person, he really cares for his students. He posts his lecture notes regularly. The exam was interesting though, i honestly think that he knew people wouldnt study for the exam so he made enough leeway in the answers so people could BS

Comment:

1- Tried to convince most students to drop out the course on first class 2-Confused students by changing the order of readings that were originally posted on the course outline or syllabus. 3- Made us students waste our time by reading useless articles that he incorrectly posted on the internet, later posting notes with correct article. 4-Coul

Comment:

Prof. Bunce has a hard time controlling the class and has a complete aversion to letting us out on time. The lectures were interesting, but useless: everything discussed in class was posted online. It seems to me that he is on the verge of retiring and is losing interest in teaching.

Comment:

very clear, and stays on topic, labs are fair and helpful, he does like if you look at both sides of an argument, though he does tend to teach only the "bad" things that humans do to the environment and whatever...and not the good.
