I would not take this professor again, even if you paid me. Quiz questions are really detailed when relating to the long and multiple readings he assigns each week. Gives long study guides late considering when the exam/quiz is and expects students to know so much in a short time. Truly my hardest class as a straight A student.

There is a lot of reading, lectures are slightly boring, however, he is an awesome teacher. He ask for the classes interest and will change lecture to accommodate students interest. He will add a curve if class doesn't do well. He also gets rid of lowest score on test or paper.

This dude is the epitome of boring. The material should have made this course mega-interesting, but his voice and graph-heavy lecture slides really just hurt my face trying to keep my eyes open. Even when he's delivering very consequential, important information, I couldn't be bothered. That being said. I did learn some neat stuff and <3 the earth.

I've had this professor twice now, and he is super knowledgeable. Lectures can be a bit dry but he means well. Super accessible outside of class and just wants to help. Gives clear guidelines as to his tests and essays.

even if you are not into environmental sociology, i recommend this class. You learn quite a bit of important material and the class is fairly easy. Three short papers (2-3 pages) 2 quizzes and a final. He gives you a study guide for every single quiz and the final so you know exactly what is going to be on it. Hes extremely nice too!

He is super nice and willing to help you out. Super easy in my opinion, i would totally take a different class with him. Attendance is not mandatory which is great! Also he did not make us buy any books which was financially very helpful.. since other teachers make u buy so many books. All notes are online along with the readings

I found the class pretty easy. He assigns quite a few assignments but the essays are not graded harshly. The quizzes also fairly easy if you've done the readings and attended most lectures. The readings were, in my opinion, very interesting, which was a plus. I would recommend this class.

Can anyone say "BORING" !? Only some teachers can make content-rich courses seem irrelevant. I love the issues and articles we cover, but the lecture is painfully boring and it seems that he has no emotional intelligence. Teachers are supposed to "react" to the non-verbal feedback that students are giving off. Think outside of the box MR.

His class was great, very interesting. He sounds like Gru from Despicable Me, so that kind of distracted me sometimes. His lectures can get a little dry, but he posts all his slides online and the material is very interesting.
