Comment:

this class is sOoo.. boring. The professor doesn't really help you when you have questions especially if it deals with quiz,mid-term or finals. For our finals review he told us to study everything. No specification or anything. 3 out 4 quiz (lowest score is drop), one mid-term, written work, and final.Take it if you can self teach yourself.

Comment:

He has very difficult quizes and tests. The first couple quizes I did really well, 19/20, but it was only because his grader wasn't as strict. The next two quizes, any word or paraphrasing that wasn't exact was marked wrong. Very difficult to want to go to class, and comprehensive test was hard. I got a B but I was praying for it!!

EASY EASY EASY and interesting, it was like watching "an inconvenient truth" over an entire semester. No textbook.. hardly any work at all. Take this class if you need the upper level GE and are in a busy major (Nursing hint hint)

Boring class, but not too hard, most of it is just powerpoint notes, a few activities but he pretty much gives you all the answers, you have to actually study for the quizzes, midterm and final not too hard

Comment:

Do not believe the other comments. This class was NOT easy as they've said. You really have to study. The quizzes are sooo hard. They are basically mini-midterms. He is not much of help. He never gives you answers when you email him. This class is very boring. I swear, 5 minutes seems like 5 hours. the final is comprehensive.

Comment:

This is the most boring class every. OMG! He thinks he's funny when is is not. If you email him for help, he is not help at all. He thinks just because you email him for help that you didn't show up to class. His review questions don't even make sense. Don't take his class. Waste of my freaken time.

Comment:

He is extremely easy. Lectures put me to sleep at times cuz he talks so slowly but the materials are interesting to listen to and make funny jokes. U have to be a dumbass to fail his class. All u have to do is attend the class & write down his ppt slides. do review qts before the exam. Easy A if you study, easier A if u have someone else's stuff.

Comment:

Easy class that is based on powerpoints (and he puts them up online). Nice teacher, but class is boring and time passes by very slowly. The quizzes and midterm are extremely easy, he drops the lowest quiz score. Very easy A.

Comment:

Easy class. You dont really have to go to class but some questions on the quizzes/midterms are from lectures. And some materials from his online notes wont be covered in lecture. If you have the previous semester's notes or a friend in the class, you dont need to go. Shows a lot of film and gives questions to answer. Easy class.

Comment:

Unless you have a friend who took the class the previous semester, this class is tough. There are a lot of details to remember. He posts the slides online in essay format. You don't have to go to class, just show up for quizzes/videos. Take this class only if you have the materials from the previous semester!

this class was real easy. i never went. as long as you have someone who took the class the semester before with the materials, you'll be fine. just show up on movie days and come in for quizzes and exams and you'll be set.

Comment:

Be prepared... to bring a pillow. This class is really boring unless you're into global warming. The teacher has a dry sense of humor, but he's very organized. The quiz/exam is straight-forward, all from the lecture and online notes. Study questions are posted online which are very helpful. Good teacher overall.

Comment:

This class was easy, study for the quizzes and final. The "textbook" is really just slide shows in class and he posts them online. It was an interesting class, and the teacher was defiantly passionate about the subject which is always good.

This was an easy class. I suggest people to take him. There is no book! The class does seem repetitive after a while. The worst part of the class was the final, it was comprehensive. That was a huge load to remember.

Oh how I just could not keep awake in his class! He was pretty redundant in his lecture but it is easy to comprehend. I studied off the online review and notes and was pretty fine.

Easy A. Just go to all the classes, take notes, and review. Quizzes are ridiculously easy if you do the review questions he posts online. Overall good teacher who I learned a lot from.

Very detailed in lecture, gives out study guides questions, need to study lecture and ques. for quiz and tests. Have a small writing assignment near end of semester. sometimes can get boring. focus on global warming. sometimes feel awkward asking for help. got an A in class but others got Cs or Bs. basically I guess it is on your study habits.

Comment:

I enjoyed his stats class that focused mainly on meteorological statistical stuff. Boring to the average person, but an easy grade if you do the homework, ask questions, and study for the exams.
