Great Professor! Makes complex topics simple, and he is very friendly to everyone. Gives you a practice exam that pretty much gives you all the answers. All texts are online, but you really don't need them. Just take notes & get his powerpoints and you are all set! Would gladly take again!

Dr. Pepper is wonderful! No textbook required, go to class, print out powerpoints, and study practice tests and you're all set.

David is an excellent teacher and makes this complex subject highly comprehensible. There is no assigned reading but he does look for details on his 3 written tests. There is one 13 page paper about of any relevant topic chosen by the student, which I found highly interesting. I will never look at clouds and wind the same again. Thanks David!

Dullest subject in America, so it's not fair to say he's boring. He's a very nice guy with a sense of humor, and very knowledgeable. The subject is dry and he did the best he could to alter the labs Rodrigue created to make them comprehensible. Study powerpoints, focus on the study guide as that's the test pretty much, and just do the darn labs

David is a great prof! He has a sense of humor, really tries to make subjects as boring as "climatology" as interesting as he can. He's also pretty hot

This teacher works so hard to make the subject interesting but there is only so much you can say about rocks. He can be really funny and he cares about his students. If you try in his class, he will do everything he can to help you. Study for the tests and you will be fine.

At first this class was pretty boring, but it gets interesting after a while. Dr. Pepper is a really sweet guy who tries to help his students as much as possible. I HIGHLY recommend you study the study guide, questions are almost exactly the same, the labs are somewhat hard but if you ask for help he'll try his best to explain them.

Very confusing subject matter, he's not very good at explaining it. I didn't buy the book, and still got an A. His practice tests are EXACTLY like the tests, MEMORIZE them! He's very helpful, and blames himself for students not understanding. He is a hard grader on labs though, you can't just b*s them, he knows his stuff too well. I recommend him.

not the greatest subject to be interested in because it is boring, but Dr. Pepper is nice guy who does try his best to teach the subject. The key thing to this class (which i wish i did on the midterm) was studying his practice tests. The final and midterm are mostly based on it. If you do that, then you should expect a good grade.

Like everyone said: study the study guide exactly, as that is pretty much the test. However, in order to ace the tests you have to go to class and jot down what he talks about beyond the slides. Your notes will come in handy, trust me. Great guy, I recommend him.

nice guy, worst class ever in the history of mankind. had him as a sub for a few weeks. just went here to tell all of you that he is one good looking canadian man. and im a straight guy.

a nice guy and I suggest you take his class

He had a sub. for the first six week of class due to a paternity leave. Let's just say the sub. was a more effective teacher than the actual professor of the course and she was a community college professor. Possibly the most unenthusiastic lecturer of my life.

One of the nicest professors. He really cares about his students and makes the lectures interesting. If you have any questions he is willing to help. There are a lot of papers and one group presentation. If you're satisfied with your grade, you do not have to take the final. I had to take the final and ended up with an A.

easy class, doesn't demand much, coolest teacher!!!

He pretty decent class. It is not the best subject of all, but it gets interesting as time progresses. He posts lectures online but has pop quizzes. Btw, he is a good looking Canadian guy.

He is an awesome professor! His lectures can be a bit boring, but the man knows what he's talking about. The class grade consists of a midterm and final, participation, a 3,000 word research essay, and a powerpoint presentation. When working on your paper, go to his office hours, he gives you a lot of ideas of what to write about.

pretty boring class. i thought the class was going to be easier than it was. 2 midterms and a final. 10 labs. and 5 pop quizzes. he's a really nice guy, but the subject is just too boring. he kinda rambles on. the class is doable, it's just not enjoyable.

Very smart man, but does not get the respect deserved. I wish I could take him for an upper division GEOG course. Hopefully I can work with him in ESP 400. Show up to class and do the labs under his guidance. Do the lengthy study guides to do well on the test. Very fair. Worked somewhat hard and got an A.

Dr. Pepper is super nice and attractive! I think it would be a good idea to sit in the front, he lectures the whole time. There is also a lot of information to remember. His office is always open during his designated time. He grads hard I think only because he gives a sample test (understandable). I

This is not an easy class guys. Do not miss class, turn your labs in on time. The labs are really confusing and long. I felt really stupid because I never understood the labs. The exams seem easier than the labs. Points are docked for every little thing. For instance you can be docked 0.1, 0.2, points. So label everything and be specific.

Midterm, Research paper, Presentation, Final, Participation Points. Do your study guide, it will definitely help you with the tests. The research paper, start it ahead of time, its like 15 pages. Ask questions in class, this is handy, since its 10 points for participation. I rec that you work on the study guide with other students to save time.

Dr. Pepper is one of the best professors at CSULB. Sometimes his lectures are boring, but he is very knowledgable. He gives study guide a week before the exam, and takes questions from the study guide. He also assigns a 12-15 page paper, but you have all semester to work on it.

Dr. Pepper is a good and fair professor. As a geology major, this was information that I've already learned a few times but he helped clarify on topics I wasn't 100% on. Show up to lecture and sit in the front and answer questions/ask questions (a lot of people don't do this for some reason). Easy A if you put in the effort.

Dr. Pepper is definitely helpful on elaborating the concepts. But teacher's assistance awful teaching and strict grading style is a pain in the neck. If you are choosing Meredith Fowler for your lab course, think carefully.

Puts study guides online and multiple choice section of test is identical to study guide! Super easy if you show up to class and do labs

This is not a hard class, but you have to try to get an A. The labs can be time consuming, but they weren't too difficult (you use Excel a lot). He doesn't take attendance but will randomly have pop quizzes, usually at the end of a chapter. Make sure you look over the study guides because they are VERY similar to the exams. Don't buy the textbook.

Easy class just boring because I'm not interested in the topic. Labs help out your grade a lot if you don't do as good as you thought on the tests. Pop quizzes during some classes, so you need to go to get the points. Study guides are the same as tests, just memorize the short answers and you're solid.

Best professor on campus. Super passionate about all of the subject matter and always willing to help you out. Also, his name is Dr. Pepper and sometimes he wears a Dr. Pepper shirt.

David Pepper, or DR. Pepper, is a about as solid of a professor as they come. He is kind, reasonable, intelligent, and approachable. Basically everything you want in a professor. His grading is reasonable and fair. Never throws in a random question on a test that catches you of guard. Do the assignments with

Dr. Pepper is one of the best professors i have ever had. He explains every topic in detail and is always available if a student needs help. He posts an extensive study guide before each test and the questions on the test are taken straight off the study guide. He also posts his lecture slides online so attendance is not required.

Dr. Pepper is an amazing professor. He is incredibly patient and kind with students, especially when the material gets tough. You can tell he is very passionate about his field. I have had for two classes and I have never seen him put a student down, which is a huge weight off students like me that deal with anxiety. He's a great professor overall!

For his class, he gives you a 30 question study guide for his midterm and final, and only 10 of these questions appear on the test. Study hard for the tests and turn in your lab assignments on time and you will pass, although he can be a bit selective on what he deems as appropriate for the labs. He'll probably be your best bet for this class.

The topics in this class are very interesting but the lectures are super boring. Pepper is extremely knowledgeable and such a nice professor that I still tried to go to every class even though attendance wasn't mandatory and he puts all the lecture PowerPoint slides on BeachBoard. Class consists of 4 papers, one group projects and two tests.

Super passionate and knowledgeable about geog. The class itself is interesting. He explains everything pretty well but dont be afraid to ask for clarification. Online quizzes every week but they are based off lecture so pretty easy. 3 main exams, and 10 labs. He posts study guides (questions are the same). Dont need the book if you go to class!

If I took this stats class with anyone else, I doubt that I would have been able to achieve a B. I'm not particularly great at math, but he walks you through the labs and makes it less stressful. Labs and midterm/final are the only graded activities in the course. Solid deal.

I LOVE DR. PEPPER! Attendance is not mandatory, but I would attend his class just to hear his jokes. Lectures can be dry at times and he loves to go on tangents. Like his other classes, study the 60 question study guides intensively and you'll be fine. Two papers, a group website, midterm, final, and participation make up your final grade

Took this class a year ago not realizing that it was geography for specifically weather and climate. Although the subject is extremely boring, Dr. Pepper is a really nice and easy-going guy and he tries to make the lectures as interesting as he can. Posts practice exams which are similar to the exams themselves. Labs aren't that bad (excel based)

He's a good professor. He does random quizzes as a form of taking attendance, but the class takes them together so you get 100% as long as you show up. HW can sometimes be a lot, but it's so easy and he goes over the ?'s that we need help on the day its due. 3 midterms w short answer, but gives study guides that are EXACTLY like the test.

Easily accessible. Willing to lend a helping hand. Interesting lectures.

Okay, look. I've taken Dr. Pepper for GEOG 200, 455, ESP 400, and GEOL 300. This man is a saint and national treasure. His lectures can be long and a bit dry, but he REALLY tries his best. This is a professor that has made my college career better in every sense. If you are an ES&P major, MAKE SURE that you are friends with this man, this legend.

Best professor I've ever had. Found him through this website, and sooo thankful I chose him. The way he teaches his material is so easy to understand. Homework in this class is really not that bad at all, it's super clear straight from the textbook. I usually hate going to class let's be honest, but I genuinely looked forward to his class.

Dr. Pepper was really understanding and accommodating this semester! Quizzes are a bit difficult, but the lowest three get dropped. Do discussion posts as a cushion for your grade. Class is heavily lecture based, which he records online and posts. I did not use the book all semester, but its online if needed. Labs were not bad for me personally.

Dr. Pepper is a dope professor. He is very friendly and wants you to learn. He has quizzes after every topic, a midterm, final, and 2 (500 word) essays. I consider the amount of work and difficultly of the class, moderate, but on the easier side. Show up to class and study the slides/lectures before quizzes and you should be good. Def recommend.

i'm taking his class right now, he's super easygoing & answers any of your questions! 2 lectures, 1 quiz & 1 lab a week. lectures are recorded so you don't have to go, but if you want to ask questions you should. quizzes aren't bad just make sure you understand the material (take notes). lab's are excel or discussion post based & are fairly simple.

I was thinking the lab thing could be difficult but it was actually super easy, the time and attempts are unlimited so don't worry about fail. The quizzes can be a little difficult for me, but is passable.

Dr. Pepper at CSULB is a teacher you always want to have. Hes an easy grader, lets you retake quizzes, gives you extensions on papers, and is really understanding of outside situations. Hes so easy going, his lectures are dense but theres a lot of fun participation. His work load is low and overall hes a great dude. Highly recommend.

He's a great professor and is passionate about his classes. He's really good at explaining scientific concepts but can sometimes trip over his words. Although he's a tough grader, he gives lots of feedback which I really appreciated.

Being a 100% online course with no zoom meeting this was the best stats course experience I have ever had. Lectures were clear, he cares about the students, gives great feedback, and although there is lots of homework he makes it bearable.

Really chill guy. Super accommodating for late work or few retakes on bad scoring quizzes. The quizzes were the hardest part of this class, questions are very specific, but he drops 3 low quizzes. Lab was okay, a bit of extra work but not that hard. The work can be draining sometimes, just gotta have the motivation to complete it. Take him!

Professor Pepper is very passionate about his work and does a good job at attending to his students' needs. I'm surprised he doesn't have a higher rating. His lectures may be slightly boring and the content of his class may be difficult to grasp, but as a teacher, Pepper is nice and truly cares about his students' success.

Super easy class. Honestly, you don't even have to show up to lectures although I do think it's helpful as you won't really have to study much for the exams if you do. Powerpoints are uploaded online though. Labs mandatory but also super easy. Online quiz each week, 2 midterms and 1 final. Super nice guy and easy class.

Dr. Pepper was overall rather easy-going and understanding. His classes were just lectures on slides that were also available online, but during lectures he would add information not on the slides that are on quizzes. Workload wise there are weekly quizzes (he drops the lowest 2 out of 12), 3 papers, a group website project, and final exam.

Very chill and funny guy. Online course with zoom meetings he kept it interesting and explained the hw well. Gives a step by step video doing the homework you just follow along with different numbers so it is easy.

dr pepper is definitely one of the better profs ive had. this class is 2 hrs - 1 hr lecture/1 hr lab. ive never taken stats before and I find this class to be incredibly easy - he goes over every lab step by step and is always available to help outside of class. every week a lab (usually finished in class) and 10 question quiz is due, 2 exams total

Professor Pepper was great except his teaching style is not my favorite. He relies on students taking notes and although he has lecture slides, they don't exactly give you all the information you need for the tests. So paying attention is important. I found it hard to focus during lectures because his wording can be too scientific/ monotone.

Dr. Pepper is very nice and understanding, but TAKE GOOD NOTES! He never took attendance but it was almost mandatory in order to get a passing grade on the weekly quizzes since most of the quiz material was based on his class lectures/discussions and not so much on the PowerPoint slides. He's flexible with his coursework and has funny jokes!

The lectures were good, has lots of interesting stories about his experiences with weather and climatology. Grade is based off of two exams (40 multiple choice questions and 3 free response), a final (50 mc and 5 free response), 10 labs, and random in-class quizzes. He posts study guides for all the exams and wants you to learn. Highly recommend!

Dr. Pepper cares and wants people to learn! Exams (2 midterms, 1 final) seem overwhelming. Attend all the lectures and use his study guides, you will pass. Most challenging were memorizing the free response answers but he sometimes tells you which ones to focus on for the exam. Lecture slides posted but lecture is better since most info is verbal.

The exams are very difficult. Study guides are provided, but only cover 30-40 percent of what is going to be on the exam.

Super easy class if you just study the sample midterm and final questions! most of the actual test questions come straight from those. Labs aren't too bad either. Only thing to watch out for is the random group pop quizzes he uses to take attendance. Overall, pretty chill and an easy A if you stay on top of stuff.

The lectures are long, but he takes his time and explains each concept thoroughly. Just beware of the random quizzes, they're kind of like extra credit.There are three major exams: Part A is multiple choice, and Part B requires you to draw and write out the concepts covered in class.If you stay on top of the material, the class is manageable.
