Comment:

Professor Wade is not very organized, but I'll tell you what, I have never laughed more in a class than I did in his class. I never knew what was coming when I came to each class period. If you're actually looking to learn about science, don't take a class with him. If you want an easy A, little homework, and a funny professor, Mr. Wade is great!

this was for a lab. I missed two and he stil gave me credit for the day. He just kinda shows up and tells you what to do, then says you can leave. If you are trying to actually learn I wouldn't take him but it was the easiest A Ive gotten

Comment:

Extremely nice and caring. The poor guy is always sick with chemo and for that reason, is very rarely in class, I think we may have only had around 10 class meetings with him all term. Assignments are the easiest thing I have ever done. Basically do them and get 100%. There is a group project. Didn't learn very much but super nice and super easy A

Mr. Wade is one of the nicest professors I've ever had, and his class is a breeze to pass if you do all of the assignments. I'm not so sure how much I learned, but I didn't have any trouble at all passing the class. Just be sure to show up, participate, and do the few assignments you're assigned and given plenty of time to work on in class.

Comment:

Phillip is a really nice guy and a pretty easy grader. Unfortunately I don't feel like I learned a whole lot from his class, and his instructions can be a little unclear sometimes. He does care about his students and does everything to try and help but he gets chemo and can be hard to meet up with due to that.

Professor Wade is a really nice guy and he's very knowledgeable about his subject. This class was project based so participation is what makes your grade. Wade is very helpful with the projects so you'll never feel unprepared. He's a little all over the place, but overall a great guy!

Phil is a lot of fun. Class is disorganized and laid back, and he doesn't really care when you turn assignments in. He is very real and understanding.

Comment:

Wade is hilarious! He is always making jokes in class. He's really laid-back, but he definitely knows what he is talking about. You can really tell that he LOVES Earth Science. He is basically an expert in the field, he has a lot of background knowledge. Definitely taking his classes again any chance I can. I highly recommend him as a teacher.

Professor Wade was great! Very helpful always willing to help and talk through anything! His teaching is really clear and if you come to class you will be prepared for the tests! Also a great lab teacher! Cares more about the student and their understanding of the subject than the number grade. Always willing to put in the effort to help you!

Wade is a great professor! He is willing to help if you approach him, his lectures are easy to get through and understand. He is a visual teacher and gives a physical example for most things. He uses his lab time to make sure you understand information for your tests. Great teacher and a great guy.

Prof. Wade was great! The class was really intimidating at first, but after you get organized it's really not that bad. There's a lot of work, but all the projects tie together and as long as you keep up there's nothing for you to worry about. The projects actually pertained to the class so that was somethign I could appreciate! I reccommend Wade!

I really enjoyed this class. I was intimidated at first because there were so many projectsto do but Phil was very helpful. He made teaching science fun and not scary. He was always willing to help and always had a positive attitude. The work load is a lot but stay on top of it and you will be fine.

Comment:

I felt that all the assignments were well taylored to the class, however I think that too much importance was placed on the engineering design project and not enough on the sciece project. I also felt there was entirely too much group work. The grade in this class is far to based on other people's performance. In my groups I did 90% of the work.

Comment:

This was a great class. The teacher knew exactly what he was teaching and was very helpful when you had questions. There were a lot of presentations, but they weren't extremely hard. The one presentation that I thought didn't really need to be included was the science project. We could have used the time for other presentations.
