PLCY101 Expecting a B Anonymous 06/02/2025 |
AVOID AT ALL COSTS Yes, the professor is super knowledgable but the structure of this class makes no sense. Don't know how I got a B in a 101 course, one of the TA's was horrible. The exams also are so open-ended which should be a good thing but it wasn't because if you don't write what they want to hear then you end up getting a bad grade. |

Pros Really sweet and knowledgeable man Cons -Very dry lecturer. You will feel like going to sleep. -There are no deadlines, just turn in the assignments when you feel like it. I get his reasoning for that, but I don't think this is an appropriate format for a 100 level undergraduate course where many of the students are freshman or taking this to fulfill a major requirement (I was at a table with engineering majors). -One of the TA's shared with me that the class resembled the structure of a graduate course as it was very open-ended. I was not a fan - Unless you were at the lecture and took notes, the slides will not make any sense when reviewing them later. |

Dr. Sprinkle is clearly a great guy and a well-intentioned professor, but his classes don't reach anywhere near that level. For one, the lectures are quite dull, consisting of monotonous projector reading with the occasional quip or question. Additionally, the content of both the midterm and final exam were not clearly and consistently connected to the lectures at all. The TAs did their best to help the students manage this disconnect and succeed - they did a great job of that, too - but even then, everything felt like a shot in the dark when submitting. 2 exams and 5 memos over the course of a semester is manageable, though. But overall, wouldn't really recommend him as a professor. |

He is such as sweet and funny professor, I will say his lectures are unorganized but he makes up for it because of how nice he is |

The sustainability department has already found a new professor for this class next semester. It's awful. He's awful. So boring. It's obvious he is a graduate professor. The readings he assigns are ridiculous. Plus the whole class is 3 assignments and a final. God only knows what grade I'll get. |
