Great prof. has a great sense of humor, very personable, its an enjoyable class

Enjoyable class. Makes fun of himself alot. His jokes are funny in a dumb way. Does sometimes have confusing times, but worth it. Homework not hard at all. Worth taking.

i havent gone to this class since september and i'm getting an A. but this course is def. harder than what a class called "weather and climate 100" should be. homework is usually retarded as hell though and usually has topics not covered well in class.

He's a good professor. I got bored a lot during lectures but the material is not too difficult. If you read the material it's easy to get an A. Go to his office hours, they really help.

I loved his jokes; so corny and great! Very nice man. I did not like the class but his personality made it worth it.

I went to every class and looked forward to it. I love this man he's one of my favorites. Listen up in class and print the notes later. I'll say it, he's a dork but in a funny way. If you don't understand something it's in the book.

Homework is a little time and lectures can get pointless, but I just finished the first midterm in 9 minutes and studied for it for only 3 hours the night before.

He is a funny guy who is a weather geek, which is the coolest!

take him if you want to become a meteorologist, or else take someone else... he's a hardcore weather buff who speaks a different language than someone who's new to the subject. Exams are somewhat easy but homework is a joke.

I think this is a great class. I'm not a "science" person, but understand the material just fine. And if you go to office hours if you ahve a question on the homework he is REALLY helpful! Exams aren't too bad either, and took less than 20 min. His jokes aren't the best, but at least they keep you entertained.

Vimont is the man! He's a great professor I don't know what these kids are talking about. Going to lecture definitely helps you understand material better and if you go to his office hours he is VERY helpful. The homework's hard, but if you work through it, it does prepare you for the tests. Youll do fine if you do the work and show some effort.

Not a difficult class at all. Professor was enthusiastic and entertaining. Homework was hard and/or busy work, but curved in the end. Review sheets for exams pretty much tell you what is on it. If you need 4 cr of physical science, this is a good way to do it.

great class, he made it very interesting, was very clear and made going to lecture fun. It wasn't too easy, but if you do the work and study its not hard to get a good grade. Its also very interesting, definentely suggest taking it. Anyone who says he's bad is just stupid.

he's really funny even though he doesnt always try to be. he has the best stories ever

He was a great teacher. I dont think he teaches anymore.

He is funny. I really enjoyed going to leacture. He is very helpful with questions and very personable. I would definatly reccomend him!

Don't listen to the previous comments. First off, if you have the choice take ATM 101 and not 100 because the discussion is 25% of your entire grade and all you have to do is attend discussion and your discussion grade will be 100%. It also really prepares you for the tests. The homework and review sheets really help you. This class is an EASY AB

Prof Vimont is an awesome guy and is really funny. Reading the text book really helps clarify what he talks about in lecture. Taking the discussion really helps your grade and you get credit for a lab science. Really interesting class; kind of difficult but definitely worth it.

He is a great professor and very fun to be around. His random comments are funny and make lecture go by faster. I found this class to be a lot harder than I thought it would be. Although he is a great prof. I found the material really hard to understand. The exams were tricky and the homework was extremely hard. I heard 101 is a lot better.

Professor Vimont is great!! He makes super corny jokes and doesn't finish a lot of his sentences but he's so adorable you can't help but giggle at him. He really makes an effort to help everyone understand more difficult concepts by repeating them or, my favorite, acting them out. Exams aren't bad..you just have to know your notes.

Vimont is perhaps one of my favorite professors. He has amazing clarity and he is really able to communicate with large class sizes. Also has a great sense of humor. The only people who complain about him are the ones who took this class thinking it would be a total slacker class- it's actually quite difficult. Take it if you want an incredible pro

Class is pretty difficult for a 100 course, the homework is difficult but not impossible. Pretty straight forward: 2 midterms, 5-6 homeworks, and a final. Great guy though and pretty amusing at times

I really love this class and this man. Tests are difficult for 100 level but this is college and you have to work for your grade. I always go to lecture and read the book. He actually keeps my attention and that is unheard of for me.

He is a really great teacher. He has a passion about his topic and knows how to explain without being difficult. He understands a college students life, so homework is not overwhelming. He's funny too. The labs in 101 really helped too, super easy labs. I reccomend this, its actually useful.

He's a funny dude and cracks jokes a ton but sometimes screws up and messes up lecture and problems and forgets what he is trying to explain. I went into this class thinking it was a completely blowoff but it is actually pretty difficult content to understand. He makes lecture interesting but it really is just uninteresting content.

I love Vimont! He's a really cool dude with a passion for AOS. His lectures go a bit fast but he posts all the power points online. There is a textbook but you can get by without it easy. I recommend this class with Vimont :)

Prof. Vimont is a great guy with a ton of passion and knowledge about AOS. His lectures are filled with information, so don't plan on skipping class or you'll get very far behind. He's very accessible during office hours, and great to work with one-on-one. He also is really funny and cracks a ton of jokes. Great class even for non-AOS majors.

Highly recommend! Professor is amazing. It might be hard if you don't think about putting any efforts. Go to his office hour, it will help A LOT!

Took 101 and now I'm majoring in AOS which I never expected but totally attribute to Vimont. He does super wonderful things like schedule extra office hours outside of class, and he tries really hard to het to know you, despite this class being so big. If you want to know more about him, you should check out his research with WICCI, which is dope.

His lectures are easy to get through and homework that is assigned in lecture is occasional and manageable. He's very accessible through his office hours, and he makes announcements regarding changes to those times. Sometimes goes off on tangents but is generally amusing. As he once said, "laugh at my jokes and I'll make the curve nicer."

As long as you read the textbook and look at his lecture notes you'll be fine. Sometimes confuses himself and tells incredibly cheesy dad jokes, but keeps you interested in the class. Laughs at his own jokes so you know he's a dad. Also his voice sounds like he should be a weather reporter. Also be prepared for spontaneous tangents.

Dan Vimont is a great teacher with really kinda dorky but super funny dad jokes that you just have to laugh at. He really cares about this school and the students in his class. He will schedule extra office hours when needed. I loved his class and his goofiness. Hell encourage you to take pictures and go on merry go rounds.

Dan changed my career path. I went into this class as a business major but Dan enlightened to the wonders of Atm Sciences. His lectures are on point and notes are always online. I've learned a lot and the exams are fair. He looks out for this students by being motivational and a great guy! If you want to get on his good side, mention drizzle. 3

Dan is extremely kind and is funny if you like bad jokes. He is a great teacher but his class is harder than you would expect.

Really funny guy. Half the lectures are spent at TopHat and looking at the current weather. Tests are pretty easy, but homework can be confusing at times. Going in for office hours is a big help, and Dan is really willing to get to know you and answer your questions. 10/10 would take again

ugh love this man! Dan if you're reading this, take me trout fishing! He geeks me out on the daily and totally turned me into a weather person. WAY to qualified to teach a 100.

love this man, Dan is the best and tells great dad jokes. HOWEVER, do NOT take this class if you are looking for a simple science credit. The class is based around 2 midterms, a final, 4 homework assignments, and Tophat questions. The material is really hard for a 100 level class especially if you aren't in the discussion, easier classes out there

Honestly this guy is the best. He's so smart about weather and climates but makes this class easy to follow along. The tests are hard but not unmanageable. He uploads all the slides and even sometimes holds office hours online so we can reach him. He also really cares about his students like we are his kids and makes lots of dad jokes. Love him!!!

Professor Vimont is a funny guy with typical dad jokes. He's a fun professor, but the class is pretty difficult for a gen-ed. Don't expect an easy A from this class, get ready to study and work (especially if you're not science or weather minded)!!

Dan is one of the most genuine professors I've ever had. Go to his office hours, get to know him, get his help on the homework, and this class becomes cake. Some people thought his exams were tough, I completely disagree; they were all very fair but his homework can be challenging. He's a total dad. He loves drizzle and weather in general.

I will be the first to say I am naturally TERRIBLE at science, and was terrified to take a college class in it. Science minded or not, if you go to lectures, pay attention, attend office hours, and read most of the textbook, you can get an A. On the homework, TAs and professor will tell you different answers, so always go to the Professor's hours.

Professor Vimont was a great professor! He was always very helpful and had great lectures that were very informational. I would definitely recommend him and take him again. The course is slightly difficult, but he does his best to make sure everybody is succeeding the best they can.

Really nice and thoughtful teacher, I enjoyed class with him and he is great at what he does

Class is pretty hard to be an entry level course. You will definitely have to work for whatever grade you get, but it helps that Professor Vimont is great

Dan was a really great professor. Only took this class because I needed a physical science credit, but he is clearly passionate about the subject and cares for his students. The content is hard and the textbook can be difficult to read, but he makes himself quite accessible so don't be shy to reach out for extra help.

Took this class for a physical science credit. Dan is a great professor and going in to office hours helped a ton. Not an easy A at all, but lectures are interesting and engaging.

Great guy. However lectures are not mandatory to go to as he holds a zoom call. Tophat is required for the class so you have to pay the monthly subscription for that. The weekly homework and biweekly quizzes are fairly difficult considering this is an entry level course. Wouldn't really recommend the class if you're looking for an easy A.

While I do not like science at all professor Vimont makes learning about clouds pretty fun. This class does have a fair amount of readings, homework, and a few quizzes. However, if you go to class and read the textbook you will likely be okay. Professor Vimont was also very gracious with his office hours and grading I believe as well.

Prof. Vimont is quite possibly the best professor for an easy science credit. Genuine guy and actually cares about making sure that you're doing okay as a person, not just a student. The class itself is a little hard to understand but all the quizzes are online so it's relatively easy to get a good grade. Great guy. Great class.

He is exceptional at making himself available outside of class and he posts discussion boards for every assignment so if you need help, you'll be covered. He clearly cares about his students, but the homework and quizzes are pretty difficult for an introductory course. However, there are a lot of grading safety nets imposed so you won't fail.

The class itself was not a guaranteed easy A, but if you pay attention in class and take good notes you should do fine. The homework was pretty tough, but the quizzes were online and open-note. Professor Vimont was very accessible, with online office hours and discussion posts to answer homework questions.

Professor Vimont is a great and funny guy, who makes lectures enjoyable. However, for an intro class, this was much harder than expected, and if you are looking for an easy Natural Science credit, this is probably not the way to go. Quizzes and the final were both online and open note, and Vimont and his TAs did a great job being accessible.

Prof. Vimont is really funny and he cares about you as a human being. His class is a little hard but I would definitely recommend Vimont to anyone! if you ever have questions hes pretty responsive and helpful.

Easy physical science credit IF you attend all the lectures, take good notes, and check the discussion boards for the HW assignments before turning in. Very accessible outside of class and a caring person in general. Attend office hours - you might get a lucky trip to the AOS roof. Open note exams and Zoom recordings of class if you need to miss.

Phenomenal professor - maybe the best I've ever had. Very considerate about mental health and student wellbeing. Class is definitely not an easy A, but if you go in ready to put in the work it is achievable.

Professor Vimont is an amazing teacher; he's very passionate about these topics and it shows in his lectures. Office Hours are super helpful for homework questions, and he is super approachable and willing to help, and even sometimes brings treats for students. Definitely one of my favorite professors I've had here!

Professor Vimont is the type of person you know was meant to teach! During office hours, he makes an effort at getting to know his students and making sure all of their questions are explained thoroughly. I will definitely be taking another class taught by Professor Vimont!

Prof Vimont is a good and caring professor. He clearly has passion for what he lectures on. He is always available at office hours often and always makes sure you understand everything before you leave. He was also very lenient with his grading, allowing multiple options in case outside circumstances effect your grade.

Really nice teacher even though I did not find this class very interesting (AOS 100). He certainly makes it more bearable with his happy tone and terrible jokes.

Professor Vimont is very positive and funny; my friend and I are always cracking up in class! He cares about all of his students and keeps his lectures interesting.

There's a lot of content during the lecture, but professor Vimont is extremely helpful during office hours and explains everything thoroughly. You can tell her cares about his students mental health and well-being.

He was a great professor who did a great job accounting for student needs and wellness in various ways, including posting lectures online and having discussion boards for all assignments there for helping students. I would highly recommend him, despite his class maybe being a bit challenging if you go to lecture a good grade is easily achievable.

Very caring and helpful, you can tell he really enjoys teaching the class. Brings cookies to office hours sometimes. Really wants students to succeed. Content was pretty hard, I needed office hours a lot, but he and the TAs were always happy to help. Hosts lectures over zoom and records them to watch later. Quizzes were online, and optional exam.

Vimont is a great prof who cares about his students learning and the study weather. ATM OCN 100 is not an easy class for non-science people, but if you give a little effort and do top-hat you can succeed. Vimont and his TA's are very good about answering questions on disc boards too. Overall great teacher, tougher class.

Difficult class but Vimont is the most caring professor I have ever had. TAs were great too. I learned a ton, but there was a lot of content, reading, and homework to get through every week. Lectures were entertaining and went fast.

I LOVE Professor Vimont! Amazing guy, always has a smile on his face, and he is a great way to start my week and start my morning three days a week. Great connection with his TA's. However, this class is WAY too difficult for an intro class. I could go on about this, but the lectures go quick and the homework takes a long time. Be cautious.

Professor Vimont is one of the kindest and most down to earth people I've ever met. Aside from him personally though, the course is a little challenging but definitely manageable. The class will go a lot smoother for you if you have taken a physics class before. All tests are curved and he has very clear grading criteria in the syllabus.

Lectures mostly cover textbook material, but explain it much better. He encourages students to ask questions and attend office hours. This class is not for easy credits, but I wouldn't consider it difficult as long as you keep up with the readings. It's a nice class for science-oriented people who haven't tried AOS before- but does involve physics!

I was struggling a lot in this class due to not being good at it but he is super helpful at office hours and truly cares about every single student. He will go out of his way to make sure nobody fails his class. Super helpful professor but very hard content in his class.

Professor Vimont makes atmospheric science fun and accessible compared to other physics-type classes. He gives great lectures, and office hours are useful. The textbook is also an easy read. Note that the lectures and textbook have built-in comprehension questions which are graded.

Professor Vimont is great - super passionate and funny. But the course content is pretty tough, even for science-minded folks. unstuck ai was a lifesaver for preparing for the exams. Worth taking if you're ready to put in the work.

Vimont is a great person and accommodating, but for some reason this material is awful to learn. If you're not familiar with physics, there's just a learning curve. If you're struggling go to office hours. Vimont and the TA's will work through the homework with you and you'll be fine. I'd take a class with Professor Vimont again, just not this one.

This class was super broad, so it's a lot of new and complex things super quickly. I would not say I am a fan of AOS in general, but Vimont is AMAZING and held office hours where he was great at explaining what was confusing me. Lab was a decent amount of work, but definitely helped to understand lecture.
