Go to class...take the notes...read the chapters and you are good to go

Go to class and you're fine. But if you study from the book, you're screwed, cuz it makes it ten times more complicated than it should be. The tests get harder as the term goes on and LOTS of notes...

Awesome!!

You really don't need the book--he mostly goes from notes on the exams. He's pretty cool in a geeky kind of way. He was really cute and funny.

He was really fun and a very thorough and interesting lecturer.

He is really nice and totally willing to help. You should go to class though. Make sure that you take really good notes. The book won't help you out that much.

he is a really nice guy and a good teacher and always willing to help. the review sessions help a lot and you should be fine without the book as long as you pay attention in class and take good notes. one of the best teachers ive had at UGA so far.

He's a nice guy who is very willing to help. Tests are short so you can't miss many questions. Take the class, but make sure you go to the review sessions before the tests if you want an A.

If you go to class and pay attention, you shouldn't have any problem with it. The book is really unnecessary unless you miss class. He's a fun teacher and will answer any questions you have. He loves for you to laugh at his jokes!! Fun class!!

Very helpful. You don't really need the book at all. The tests can be a little tricky, but overall it's not bad at all.

Go to class and take notes and you should be fine. The book isn't necessary. overall the class is pretty easy and he's really nice and willing to help.

As long as you study the notes, that you just copy from his Powerpoint, you can make an easy A. He explains things well, too, and tries to be funny.

His class is easy if you take the notes and go to class every day. The tests are more difficult then the intro class but again not too hard. He tries to make jokes which is entertaining so overall he is a good teacher

He makes class interesting by telling lots of stories. Go to class and you will be fine.

Grundstein fails at lecturing. This is a really dry(no pun intended, as its a weather class) subject and hard to rach others with. Dont take the class as lightly as I did though, and you can pull an A. Make sure to at least show up to class once a week and read a little bit of the book. Also go to his review seesions before the test to ensure an A.

Ok here it is, this class in itself is much like any other Science class...BORING! Mr. G does an OK job at making it mildly interesting, but he has a goofy sense of humor. You must learn the material some way or the other (read, take detailed notes), but the test are not so easy as you think! LASTLY, GO TO THE REVIEW SESSION! THEY'RE GREAT!!!

He is a really nice guy but fairly boring. I did not attend class very often but I read the book and went to all the review sessions. I also studied a lot and knew the material before all the tests but I did poorly on the tests. THis class definately requires 100% dedicaiton like listening, taking notes, attending class and the review sessions.

Although he's a little bland, at least he is passionate about his suject. The class is acutally pretty interesting once you get past the first couple weeks. The tests are fair, he offers review sessions and he even curved grades at the end for good attendance. I would recommend taking his class.

He tries to make class fun with some occassional jokes. He is willing to make sure everyone understands what he is explaining. Tests were fairly hard even after studying. He gives you bonus points if you have near perfect attendance the days he checks.

the class is dull and difficult, especially if you are not a math/science person. that being said, Grundstein is a great guy who is always willing to help.

BORING class, but fairly easy science credit. You can tell he really loves weather and tries to get the class interested by asking questions. Nice guy. A lot more detail on tests than I expected, however. Makes you think 'critically' rather than simply memorize definitions.Bonus points for attendence!

Excellent teacher. Willing to go way out of his way to help his students. Also, takes a genuine interest in his students.

nice teacher! very clear lecture with helpful power points! just go to class and study your notes!

Great teacher. Had no interest in the subject, but I needed a science credit. I ended up learning a lot and actually enjoying a subject I had always found to be boring. I would definately recommend him. He's vrey down to earth and able to present the information in a way that is clear and easy to understand.

Excellent teacher. One of the best I've had at UGA.

you can tell he really likes weather. he manages to explain it in a way that makes it easy to understand too. for the 1st half of the semester I sat in the back, but I did poorly on a test, so I moved to the front. Ladies - sit closer, if you get tired of the weather, check out his ass.

Nice guy. He is a great teacher and it is obvious that he loves the weather and teaching. He has a passion for climate change so you will learn a lot about that too. His class is really hard (I ended up with a c) but he is helpful if you go talk to him and make sure you ask questions in class! He drops the lowest test grade which is a HUGE help.

Dr. Grundstein is one of the sweetest, most adoreable men I have ever met. I thoroughly enjoyed his class, though it wasn't quite as easy as I thought it would be. With a little effort, an A is definately possible. I would highly recommend this class - much more interesting than physical science or chemistry, and easier than both.

I really enjoyed this class. Professor Grundstein obviously has a passion for weather and climate and it shows. If you take good notes and can pay attention, the tests should be fine. But...the 4 tests are the only grades in the class so make sure you pay attention :) He also has GREAT and flexible office hours.

VERY INTERESTING CLASS!!! I actually enjoyed this class and was excited to go learn about weather and climate. Test questions come straight from lectures- no need to buy the book. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who needs a science credit!

Great teacher. Not interested in the subject at all, but I ended up really liking the class. Very helpful if you have a hard time with the material.

He's really nice. He's also really willing to help if you get confused. He keeps class interesting by making jokes and listening to students.

GREAT teacher. Calls on students immediately when a hand is raised. Loved the class because it went over both the basic subjects covered in 1112 and basic climatology material. Consisted of 3 tests (final not cumulative) and 4 labs. Easy A for me since Im a GEOG major but Im sure anyone can get an A with minimal effort. TAKE HIM for a 3000 level!!

well this class took me aback by how hard it was, but MR. Grundstein himself is an excellent teacher. What makes his class fun and bearable is his own passion for Geog. i loved the class, Mr. G. was great, but study hard for the exams!!! look over the class notes thoroughly, he doesn't post lectures online so i suggest near perfect attendance!

Not exactly as easy as previously stated. Some of the material is hard to grasp. It was an okay class. Kind of boring. Grundstein is very nice though!

Great professor, even for a really difficult subject. He does an excellent job of explaining complicated mathematical formulas and how to apply them. Also pretty sexy.

Nice guy. The material is pretty boring, but he's cool.

he is such a sweet guy and he is very passionate about the subject. wonderful teacher.

He's a really nice professor. He's so helpful and chill. He takes attendance randomly and doesn't post the powerpoint notes online, so go to class. Reading the book helps. His tests are relatively hard and get harder throughout the semester, so study harder than you'd think for this class.

the only grades you get are from the tests. he's a really nice guy, but you have to pay attention in class. he doesn't post notes. write down the extra info that he says during lecture. it'll help you out a lot when you're studying for the tests. the material seems easy, but the tests are trickier than you think.

Grundstein is a great guy and very helpful. What you learn in class is super boring, but GO TO CLASS to get notes and if you want to do well. Tests are tricky and you need to study ALL information not just the study guide. But he's super friendly and cares a lot about the class, just go to class and study and you'll at least get a B.

Grundstein is a nice and helpful guy. If you have questions, he'll help you out. Don't underestimate the tests; go to class and pay as much attention as possible because they are straight from the lecture. If you don't understand sometimes the book can also be helpful. He tries to make the class interesting but be warned that the material is dry.

Grundstein is really nice and helpful. I got an A on the first test and then tanked the next. GO TO CLASS; it will make all the difference. He doesn't post his notes, and but he explains them very thoroughly in class.

Mr. Grundstein is a really great teacher and is really passionate about the subject. If you have questions he is always willing to help. Fair warning though this class is waaayyyyy harder than I expected. Go to class and actually pay attention because his tests come straight from the lecture.

His FYOS class was awesome. He is a very nice guy and cares about his students. He would ask how are week is going and how we doing in tests and quizzes. It was a laid back class and no stress at all. Great guy. Attendance is mandatory though.

I really enjoyed this class. He was very clear with his information. He was also very passionate about the subject as well. Whatever he presents in class is on the tests, and he also post up test reviews before midterms. All of the questions come from the review. You'll definitely have a B+ or higher in this class.

The lectures were a bit painful to sit through (very boring), but they definitely help towards a better grade. There is only 3 tests and the final, but he drops the lowest of the three tests! Tests are straight-forward multiple choice and truefalse questions. One of the easier science courses you can take at UGA. He's a very nice guy also!

he is super nice and very into geography. The material is super boring but you have to come to class. He does random attendance checks and you get an extra point added onto your grade if you go to class. There are 4 tests and he drops your lowest grade. The final was not cumulative.

Only gives 3 tests and a final, and drops your lowest test grade. If you show up to class and study well you can get an A but does require more studying than you would expect. He is really nice and is always available to have office hours with you. Doesn't post notes so have to attend lectures.

Grundstein was a great teacher and a great guy. The test are really tough and they come straight from lecture. If you don't go to class then you wont get the notes because he doesn't post them online. However, if you study hard you'll get an A. Also, going to his office hours are extremely helpful. He'll even give you an idea of test questions.

This class is way more difficult than I expected. Do not take it unless you really need it! Lectures are dry, but he answers questions well and is very helpful during office hours. There are 4 tests in total-lowest one will be dropped. Read the book and study slides. I didn't read much so I got C's on the first 3 & got a B on final when I studied.

The seminar class was really fun and easy. It's easy but it's a class that you won't mind taking. It's interesting and it's more about learning than the work.

Dr. Grundstein is the MAN! He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. His tests are very straightforward and as long as you take notes during class, there's no reason not to ace his tests. He's super nice and always encourages you to engage in discussion. I highly recommend!!

Professor Grundstein is great. He is very knowledgeable and very willing to help if you have any questions. Office hours help me learn many materials. Language barriers happen to me always, but he is so patient to answer all of my questions. He gives the study guide before the tests, and you should study a week before the test and you will be fine.

Dr. Grundstein made a usually boring topic very enjoyable. Tests are the only grades but they are all based on class notes and he gives a review guide in addition. He is super nice and I never felt uncomfortable asking a question or speaking with him outside of class. He is very smart and truly cares about the subject outside of class.

He was honestly a great teacher. I've heard some say he's a dull teacher, but I would like for you to go up there and try and teach a bunch of uninterested kids climatology in the mornings. Not many surprises on the tests. Just write down the notes and lectures in class, and you will get an A.

Grundstein was the homie, he was really laid back and his class was a breeze.

He is very passionate about his field, and tries his hardest to ensure that he is able to relay concepts without overwhelming students. He is very patient, and he is happy to help students who may be alienated by certain content. He hardly takes attendance, but you should go to class to avoid being puzzled.

Andrew Grundstein is the best! He is really clear about exactly what he wants you to know for exams, and he gets them back to you really fast as well. He is really knowledgeable on the subject and cares about his students. If you get the chance take him.

Professor Grundstein is really nice and passionate about geography. He lectures for all of his classes, but they are not boring. He gives extra credit. His tests are not too difficult as long as you thoroughly study. He does not post powerpoint online so you have to go to class to get them. I recommend if you are looking for a laid back, easy class

I struggled with this class personally because I am bad at memorizing things, but had a bunch of friends that did very well. Dr. Grundstein is an amazing professor and one of the nicest guys I have ever met. Would definitely take him again, just maybe not the class. His tests were from the notes, I just sucked at taking them.

Grundstein is literally the sweetest man ever. Always willing to help and cares a lot about his students and the subject. Lectures aren't posted online so go to class because his tests are based on the lecture and he bumps your grade up a point if you have good attendance. Textbook isn't really necessary. Tests are kind of unpredictable.

Grundstein is a super cool guy, but this class was super hard for me, my only B this semester. Tons of material was covered on each test and there's only 3 tests and a final with one test grade being dropped. The final was super easy, but each test was difficult in my opinion. The lectures can get dry and boring, but he's passionate about weather.

This class was pretty straightforward. Grade is based off of three tests and a final; one test can be dropped. The lectures covered a lot that wasn't on the tests, and the tests were moderately difficult.

For a Lecture Heavy class, it was pretty easy. I would not recommend it without the lab though. The lab helped me to understand it much better. Dr. Grundstein is very nice but loves going off on tangents.

Overall a pretty easy going professor. There are only 3 test and a final. There is no additional homework or essays. Just show up to class and take notes. Tests are exactly what he goes over in lecture. Funny and chill guy

You need to take notes, regularly attend class, and study a decent amount. You have 4 tests and the 'lowest of the first three are dropped, and that's your grade folks! He's so kind and caring that if anyone talked I thought how dare you talk over our precious Andy. Super willing to help clarify anything and he gives you study guides before the tes

I absolutely loved Mr. Grundstein. I had no interest in weather and climate previously, but he was so passionate and made me quite fascinated in the subject. However, even though it sounds easy, many students got low grades because they never showed up to lecture/ studied for the tests. So if you aren't willing to study on your own, don't take this

Super nice guy and very easy to follow. his lectures were simple, but make sure you really study up at least a week before tests. also, taking the lab with this class helps. overall, a really good prof.

Dr. Grundstein was a fantastic professor! He made class interesting and was very easy going. I got the book but didn't read it much. Almost all of the test material comes from his lectures. The book is just an additional resource. He drops the lowest test grade and takes attendance randomly. If you have good attendance, you will get extra credit.

Professor Grundstein is passionate about what he does, and is also super nice! The class is lecture based, and you're only graded on the three tests you have + attendance (which is taken randomly and you can get someone to sign you in). The tests are straigtforward and based on the study guides, but if you don't prepare enough they can be tricky.

Attendance is so important. You're not tested off of the book, just lectures. You have to REALLY study to get an A on the tests. That's the only thing you're graded off of. I'd suggest recording lectures with a voice recorder. Very nice guy though, and will let you look at old tests in his office.

One of my favorite profs. here at UGA. Attendance is taken by a sign-in sheet about every other class, but he only uses the grade as extra credit, it wont count against you at all. Each class you'll take notes, but he is very put together and gives detailed Powerpoints so you dont have to read the textbook. Tests aren't too if you prepare well!

I love Prof. Grundstein. He is so nice and caring. The class was so easy and it was sometimes very dry, but we never had any work and I truly enjoyed the class. Take his FYOS!!!

Dr. Grundstein is a great teacher! He is one of the nicest people I've ever met and he tells you exactly what to study for the test. You have to go to class because he doesn't post his lectures online, but class is always really interesting. If you don't get something he'll always help you out. I highly recommend his class.

Dr. Grundstein by far has been the best professor I have had. He doesn't post his lectures but attending his class is always enjoyable bc he is upbeat. I love that he tied a lot of information together to make the topics more interesting. Also, the only professor that I have had to genuinely ask how I was doing. Love this man!

He's a real gem, he really cares about students. Has good lectures and made sure we understood the homework

Lectures are kind of boring and repetitive, but he's a really great professor that you can tell is passionate about what he teaches. If you make sure to pay attention and take notes, you will do fine on the exams. He posts his lecture videos online which is great for if you can't attend class. Grades are based almost completely on tests.

Lectures were boring but not because of him- you can tell he is passionate about geography and cares about students. Only graded by 3 out of 4 tests, but they weren't bad, just follow his study guide. Go to class because the slides he posts on elc are oftentimes just pictures that he elaborates on in class. IMO, you don't need the textbook.

He is such a nice guy who genuinely cares about his students. Attendance isn't mandatory but 100% go to class when you can because the tests come straight from the lectures and the powerpoints are often just pictures. Going to class will get you the extra info you need to score high on the test. You do not need to use your textbook at all.

Professor Grundstein is the sweetest! He shows video clips to try and make lectures more entertaining and is always very helpful if you come with questions. The tests can be a bit difficult if you do not study (that is all you are graded on, no homework) but he sets aside review days to go over material you are struggling with.

Professor Grundstein is very caring and makes sure that his students are engaged and entertained with the lectures. The course is only graded with 4 tests with not of the first three dropped, so one bombed test can really cause some issues. The tests are not very difficult if you spend a good amount of time studying and going to class.

Your grades are just 4 exams, one is dropped. He lectures the whole class time but he's passionate about the content, cares about students, and is low-key funny -- loved the dry humor! The lecture slides are the only information you need to know for exams. You can receive extra credit for attendance. Overall, easy and great class!

Took Proseminar for first year grad students. Easiest class ever. He made it easy for us to talk to him

Andrew is the best!!! His lectures are interesting and he does a great job explaining the material. He is super caring and obviously wants his students to do well. Grade is based off 4 homework assignments and 3 tests but he is a very fair grader and willing to go over hw/tests with you. Tests are not too long - very reasonable.

Professor Grundstein makes the lectures engaging with his passion and dry humor. Tests are based on slides, so attending class is a must. unstuck AI helped me prep efficiently alongside the study guides. Overall, an enjoyable and manageable course.

He's really sweet, and you can tell that he is very passionate about geography and our world. The syllabus was kind of confusing, but he answered any questions. Overall, it was an easy class. If you can think through some of the basic systems, you'll be fine. The tests were not that hard. Would recommend!

Dr. Grundstein was a fantastic professor! His lectures were much more in depth than his base slideshows because of his added expertise. His tests are for the most part straight forward and easy. No MC, so all short answer/ fill in the blank but was never anything we didn't talk about in class. Would definitely recommend for a 3000 level Geo course.

Professor Grundstein is awesome!! I thoroughly enjoyed this class even though it is a topic I am not particularly interested in. Tests are in person and require studying but if you attend class and take good notes, you will be fine. You can tell he is very passionate and cares about his students greatly!

He's annoying at first but I really warmed up to him by the end of the semester

Dr. Grundstein's great dude who tries his best to make everyone feel welcome and engaged. Grade was made up of 4 exams and some online quizzes from the textbook, but everything was free as long as you take an hour or two to study for the tests beforehand. Really sweet guy, talks sports in class sometimes, loved talking to him outside of class too.
