His class was generally easy to pass. Attendance was required since he did daily note cards, accumulating to the same amount of points as an exam. There was only one exam in the class and it was pretty easy. One of the questions was extremely similar to a short essay he made us write. The papers and discussions we had to do were also generally easy. Most of the background information we needed was in the slides, so research wasn't too stressful. He is a great guy, he is nice, and he cares about his students. Some professors make you feel smaller than them, but I felt like he actually cared about our opinions and feelings in the class. As an Environmental Science major, this class was only an elective for me so I was not sure fully what to expect from this class. But I think I learned some interesting information about caring for animals.

Super nice guy, teaches classes that he wants you to pass in. 227 is easier then 270 so if you took one don't expect the other to be the same. Is he the greatest lecturer ever....no. But if you show up and do what he asks, you will get a good grade. This is certainly a teacher where if you try very hard you will learn something and get an A+. If you do the bare minimum you may not retain much (you'll still have to at least temporarily learn a good amount of material) and still get a decent grade. Good guy, good classes.

He's a nice guy, but lecture can be boring. He just reads off the slides. Sometimes the lab assignments can be confusing because his directions are often confusing and are usually gone over a couple weeks before the due date. Read the directions carefully. The midterms are straight forward and there is a big paper due at the end. I'd say that attendance is mandatory because if you don't turn in a notecard (which is basically a grade for participation) you'll get a zero and it definitely drops your grade. You will also be using excel in this class.

He definitely seems checked out during this online session. Lots of auto-generated emails with the wrong dates, wrong semester, wrong assignments. I liked the class, the material was interesting, the quizzes were easy, and the journal entries were graded generously. Definitely recommend as an I-Series Gen Ed BUT never take this class online (if it is even offered that way again). You miss out on the best parts of the class.

i really enjoyed this class even though it was asynchronous, highly recommend for a gen ed! i learned so much but at the same time it was manageable. Took it as asynchronous, so it would've been more fun with synchronous labs (making food..) The most tedious part was the multiple short JE responses (3 page papers throughout the course), but not bad.

Amazing and easy to talk to! Caring, kind, interesting. Really engages with students. I've taken 3 of his classes and did well in all!
