Mr Yeager is a real nice guy, he really does want you to do well in his class. The topic is interesting and he makes the discussing a lot of fun. The book is basic and only cost 10 dollars. He gives study guides for tests and some work on goole earth which is actually fun. Im glad he came here from New York, his New York stories are pretty funny to

Professor Chuck is a good teacher and his class is a good time. He bends over backward to help students and those who put forth effort seem to have no problem doing really well in the class. There are others in my class who aren't doing well, but they seem like 13th graders. If youre a 13th grader, maybe he's not for you. Otherwise, he's great.

So I'm gonna be honest here. I like him. He's a great guy, great sense of humor and cares for his students, but here's why I gave him 3 stars: Nearly every single "Quiz" (Exam) he manages to throw a few curveballs in each one. Not like things you might have not studied, but things that weren't even in the book! You'll pass, but not with an A.

The professor is a really nice guy, and he does try to be funny. Class is easy if you 1) go and 2) pay attention. He basically tells you everything that is on the tests and the book is so basic its kind of a joke. And the final project involves colored pencils, I'll leave it at that.

You need take your own notes and keep on reading the chapters that is required from the course syllabus. He gives you some Google Earth Quiz but the impact of your grade is not as a quiz grade and it's less. There are Quizzes that are actually Tests and most of the questions are not from the book. I recommend anyone not to take his class AT ALL!

I like Yeager a lot. I went to A&M my first year and flunked out, so when I hear some of the little turds in my class whining about how hard of a class it is I laugh. Yeager treats you like an adult, whether you act like one or not. You have responsibilities in class, and if you meet them you will be successful. And you will learn something too.

Emailing Dr Yeager about where I stand in his course was frustrating. He states that his grading system is mentioned in the syllabus and it is, but it does not match his expressed "Point system" that you must earn throughout the semester. He was especially not compassionate with his students during this quarantine transition. Very discouraging.

Dr. Yeager is intelligent, a great speaker, and has lots to say about any topic you can throw at him. However, when it comes to one-on-one with his students. He can give unhelpful responses. His class is very meticulous in terms of his grading system. Be wary that although he mentions most assignments are for extra credit, they're really not.

if you're looking for an easy class just to get a quick science credit then this isn't it. he's a good professor, good communication. i just don't care about geography, was really boring.

Easy online class. It's very organized - like you do the same kinds of things every week (read, take a quiz or two). SO its kind of repetive but i like that in online classes. Final project I just took some video on my normal jog and made a project out of that. Very easy.

Class is easy if you do the reading and little quizzes each week. Final project involves going and taking pictures at a park, he basically tells you exactly what to do, so you just have to go do it. Not hard at all and he is a pretty helpful guy.,

Professor Yeager expects alot from his students. Be ready to read long chapters and take tons of quizzes. His final is terrible! Most is fill in the blank with blurry pictures and only gives 90 minutes to answer 50+ questions. Final project is going to park and making a 5 minute video covering things you've learned throughout the semester.

Really enjoyed this class. Short reading assignments from online books (free) and he puts lots of little lecture videos up to explain stuff. Basically tells you whats going to be on the midterm and final in those videos. Final project just had to go on a hike explain things I came across that Id learned about in class.

He doesn't follow a regular grading system, but instead uses a confusing "point system". Tests are extremely hard. The only way to earn extra credit: you must to listen to HIS short mixtape 3 times a week on spotify for 4 weeks, only to earn 2 points total. Its exremely tacky. It amazes me how many good reviews he has.Everyone in my class struggled

At first the course started out fairly easy, it was said you'd need to read a lot, which is true. He does not follow a regular grading system, just points, so there is not way of knowing if you are failing or not, and you do not find out your grade until the last last day of class. It was just overall not a nice experience.

This class was awful! At first it seemed fine, but the point system was ridiculous in the sense that it didn't show you upfront all the points, rather the points were added as you completed assignments which in return made knowing your grade confusing. Who gives less than an hour and a half on a 52 question final?! 0/10 recommend! STAY FAR AWAYYYY!

Best thing to do is pay attention & take a lot of notes. Work on your project early! He is clear in lectures, funny & makes the info fun to learn. Any negative reviews means they didn't try hard enough in the class. Kahoots give a tiny bit of extra credit if you are in the top 3 but they are a review for exams. Organization of info is important too

Dr. Yeager is an amazing teacher and a caring, understanding individual, and I would like to specifically praise the diverse and accommodating teaching style he uses. Many would have you simply copy notes off of a slide, but Dr. Yeager also teaches with diagrams and pictures, which I believe helped me massively. In short, his class was wonderful.

The final examination primarily consists of fill-in-the-blank questions. The video project is a straightforward task that can get an A.

Professor Yeager is an entertaining, engaging, and enjoyable professor to listen to. While it can be easy to get lost in some of the information given, he keeps the subjects and course material very neatly organized and easy to understand. He was my first professor and, 3 semesters later, he still remains one of my favorite professors I've had.

I did not like his teaching style and he could be a bit passive aggressive at times. The busy work he assigns is easy, the only way you would fail them is if you don't pay attention in class or don't do the readings. The exams were hard even with notes.

Worse professor i ever had. The course is confusing and hard and 50 percent of the grade is based of Midterm and finals. Barelly any interaction within the class. It's just him talking for an hour. He is not helpful towards student and their personal problems. All that matter to him is to grade you.

AWFUL!! At first the class started out easy but overtime it got harder. He's passive aggressive and uses a ‘points' system to grade. You don't even know if you have a good grade until the end of the semester. Tests are tricky and they don't match with what is given in textbooks and his lectures. 0/10 would not take again, do NOT take this class.

a decent professor, the course is not hard, you'll likely 2 reading quizzes and google earth quizzes, The reason I give this professor an ok score because he has a very passive aggressive attitude and only responds to emails once out of the week, If you have any sudden emergency he will not care and he will tell you he doesn't, wouldn't recommend.
