Rachel Pinker AOSC400 Anonymous 01/11/2021	Professor Pinker is a nice lady that cares about her students. She wants her students to interact with her and ask questions. Those who ask questions often get detailed replies that help reinforce course material. However, I took this course online (asynchronously) and it is easy to tell that she is not super comfortable using technology. She got much better at uploading and recording videos as the semester progressed, but there were still some technological lapses that impeded learning. In her lectures, she was often just reading from the slides and putting random formulas without an explanation for them. Slides were unorganized and not easy to follow. The course itself is not difficult in content, as it does not require an extensive math background and is mostly conceptual. The homework and exams were fairly straightforward, provided that you read the textbook. Overall, an interesting course that could be taught better with more enthusiasm from the professor and better technology skills.
Patrick Meyers AOSC400 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/05/2019	Pat was a nice prof and did a good job teaching all the stuff we had to learn. He brought in two guest lecturers who talked about lightning and hurricanes, both of whom were very interesting. The quizzes and exams are fine if you take notes and know the study guides.
