Average Rating:| Stephanie Ingber Course: GEOL100 Grade Expected: 85 December 21, 2011, 8:22 am | Alright, so all lecture slides are put online. But when people did not come to class, he messed with the students. He would tell the students that came to lecture that extra lectures/chapters would be on the midterms and then not send an email out. He also changed the day of the midterm and did not tell students. He pretty much wanted to "teach a lesson" to kids who didnt come to lecture, when he put everything online. You can completely pass the class without going to lectures but the teacher was an a-hole. **ALSO, he removed ALL THE LECTURE SLIDES AND QUIZZES THE DAY BEFORE THE FINAL!!! .....interesting course but the teacher did not understand that were in COLLEGE. |

He dwells on a single subject forever and never finishes the lecture so the only way to learn is through the book, which is essentially a picture book with captions under them. After reading the book, you would think the exams would be easy. Then the exams come and you wonder where these questions came from. The first exam average was a 50%... In conclusion, the exams are ridiculously hard that he made a revision to the syllabus saying he'll drop the lowest exam grade. He also had to make the final open book because everyone was failing exams throughout the semester. He doesn't curve. Overall, a great guy, bad class. Don't take it. |
