CollegeI took Earth 4 with Wrobel and he was great. The tests were kind of difficult since he knows a lot about oceanography; I heard that other classes with him were easier. Very nice and good lecturer
He was my absolute favorite professor. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his students and that he is passionate about the ocean. To pass, all you need to do is pay attention and take notes. He is very understanding and even offers extra credit
Alex is a great prof! Lectures are engaging and he is passionate about ocean topics! Easy online quizzes each week, and cheat sheets for every test including final. Watch out for the midterms, they were easy with a cheat sheet but I still wasn't able to get a 100 on any of them, some concepts you have to really engage with to succeed.
Alex is a great professor! Very enthusiastic to teach and knows what he's lecturing on. He assigned weekly mcq quizzes that are probably less than 15 questions. The lecture was easy to understand. He had 2 midterms and one final, all mcq. Workload was light. Also offered extra credit and cheat sheets for the exam.
Really awesome professor! Lectures were very interesting and he was always open to answer student's questions and ensure they understood the material. He allowed a cheat sheet during tests and the exams were multiple choice. Awesome class!
Super chill class, lectures were actually interesting and engaging.
