Comment:
Gale is probably the weirdest guy I have ever met... but that is what makes his class fun. He is very quiet but he loves what he teaches. Not a hard class he gives study guides that practically give you questions on the exam. Almost fell asleep in class everyday but other than that it was good.

He is very laid back and quiet. He gives you all the notes which are fill in the blank and the test questions come directly from them too. Tests are easy if you study it! He tries to be funny a lot and its so ridiculous sometimes you can't help but laugh. Overall, good class and I recommend taking it with gale. Homework is easy to btw!

This class is amazingly easy. You have to be lazy not to pass. He gives you all the notes with fill in the blanks online. Simple extra credit opportunity. Typical reading is less than 10 pages!

This guy is extremely boring. The jokes are NOT funny, just really dull. To be honest, I was really excited going into this class because I was really interested in weather, but after this class I hate it.

He's a nice guy, but lectures are very boring. I zoned out quite a bit. If you can manage to pay attention, tests will be pretty easy. Do all worksheets, homework, and extra credit to acquire as many points as possible. And just stay awake!

Very nice and can be hilarious at times. 4 tests with fill in the blank and multiple choice which are not hard at all, especially if you pay attention. Outside of class forecasting, several 3 point pop quizzes, and 8 homework worksheets. Quite a bit of extra credit offered.

He's good at what he does, the problem is that is voice gets a bit dull, and it's easy to zone out. If you take notes and study them for an hour or so though you can get an A no problem. He also offers a lot of extra credit

Favorite professor I have had. His classes were always interesting. He has a real strong passion for weather. Has a ton of extra credit opportunities. Tests are surprisingly a little challenging but a real easy class and enjoyed going to it!

Gale is an awesome guy. He is really nerdy but he's funny. He offers extra credit which is awesome, but his tests are really hard because there are soooo many notes to study.

Has a very dry sense of humor, but I really enjoy it. He is very good about remembering your name, and his class is pretty easy. If you pay attention and take notes you should do just fine.

Professor Gale has a dry sense of humor, but he is a great guy. You can't help but laugh at his jokes. You have to study for the tests, but if you study you will do well. Attendance is required. You fill in a packet of notes while he lectures. He makes lectures interesting and make suers the class participates .

Gale is a blast! I really enjoyed Elements of Weather with him. He is fun in the classroom and offers a TON of extra credit through out the semester! He grades fairly and as long as you fill out his notes packet, you'll be set for the tests!

Really, really sweet guy but VERY boring class. All lecture. Has a hard time clearly explaining info. Mandatory attendance. Worksheets, mini quizzes, etc to help boost your grade. Print out fill-in-blank notes.

Structured much like a high school class. Many opportunities outside of the test to boost grade (worksheets, extra credit, quizzes) that it's impossible not to get a B. Corny little guy, but he's sweet. (I wouldn't buy the book.)

I took Elements of Weather with Joe. He's a weather nerd that's for sure. He's in love with weather. Tells corny jokes in class. Class is super boring I used it to do other homework. Lots of extra credit available. Tests aren't too bad. It's an easy class but boring. Joe is a good guy

SOOOOO boring. I couldn't stay awake in his class, it put me right to sleep. Yeah, he tells jokes, really stupid ones. Pretty difficult class considering there is no way you can pay attention during it.

Joe is adorable. He really loves weather and telling stories about his tornado chases. He has a very nerdy sense of humor which I really enjoyed. He makes good homework assignments and fair tests.

Comment:
This class is boring. I can't pay attention alot. It is not very intresting and gets hard to follow. I'm sure this class is easier than some of the other science classes though. Wouldn't take this class if I didn't have to but it's pretty tolerable. Took Elements of Weather first semester freshman year.
