very very good teacher...
Really fun class. I enjoyed it so much, I almost changed my major from Mechanical Engineering to Geography!
good teacher; not great. class tends to be a little tedious. overall nice guy; nice prof.
very THOROUGH teacher, Nice guy and willing to help if you ask for it. Class notes are very DETAILED as are the tests. i would recomend if you are interested in MAJORING in Geography.
The best class you can ever take, and the best professor. I took this class just as elective, but it was so interesting that I almost change my major to Geography:) PowerPoint presentations are very fun and all the notes already printed by the professor.
Mr. Lambert is the SMARTEST teacher I've had, he is organized, nice,(in a cute nerdy way), and very helpful. ALL the pictures of ALL the countries covered in his powerpoint presentation, he's been to! So he had personal experience as well!!!!
Awesome teacher. Great class if you want to learn things you've never knew before. I found it very interesting. Although his tests are very detailed, but if you study pretty good you'll do fine.
One of the greatest teachers I've had, such an intelligent man and very cool just to talk to. Not intimidating at all. Knows the subject incredibly well. The only teacher to take Geog from at SAC
Very nice & good teacher. His class is very interesting. You must learn a lot from him.
This course wasn't too bad. He is very nice. I read every single chapter and did the current events and discussion question and got a B. It really is a good class to take if you need that type of credit. He asks fairly detailed questions so pay attention when you are reading.
I am a senior, and I have attended 4 different colleges. This teacher is one of the best teachers I have seen in my college experiences. I strongly recommend him for any class he may teach.
Great professor. Makes class very interesting. There is a lot of material-both in the text and in class-reading the text is essential to getting a decent grade. Fortunately, he has his own textbook that includes only the information he wants you to know. Highly recommended.
great guy. very helpful and seems to be really open-minded. not like these 60-70 year old professors. i would highly recommend his courses.
A bit difficult, but he gives great lectures. Has his own textbook, which makes studying for exams easy.
His lectures are clear, and so are his books.Keeps information and facts to the point without feeling overwhelmed.He's very well knowledged, experienced, and above all, nice.As everyone else says on here, I would recommend him to anyone.You'll learn alot without being too overwhelmed with the fine details.
Mr. Lambert is very well educated, passoinate about what he does, and knows how important it is for college students to learn Geography. He wrote the text-book for the class,it's very clear and to the point. Might I add it's very inexpensive. Take him most definantly if you need the course or even as an elective, I did, and I enjoyed it.:)
He is a great teacher and knows his stuff, but if you take this class, don't think that you can slack off and still get a decent grade.
Dr. Lambert is very well educated, and is a great teacher. You have only 4 exams and a project but as long as you show up to class everyday and take his notes you should be find.
Dr. Lambert is a very awesome teacher. All it takes is for you to take notes during his class and you will pass. I recommend you take this class if you need an easy A.
Loved his class. If you need a science, take him. It is very interesting and he shows amazing pictures along with his lectures of places he has actually been to!Plus he is a very nice professor.Highly recommend.
One of the best professors I have ever taken! Lectures and photos are very interesting. Prof. wrote the book and it's very easy to follow. Not a class for slackers, take good notes, don't skip.
I've taken him twice and have gotten 2 A's (and I didn't even buy the textbook for the 2nd class). Really helpful, very interesting, really nice guy.
Great instructor. Second class with him. Motivated to learn more that just what is covered in class on some topics. I highly recommend him for content, and you learn that some things are very important that you never questioned before. you will long remember what you learn in this class if taten from Professor Lambert.
This is by far the best professor at San Antonio College. He is so interesting...that you just don't want his lecture to end. He is very helpful and super nice. He is passionate about the subject. You will really learn and appreciate geography more! It is not hard..because he explains everything very clearly!
Took ONLINE...great! I took this class before and failed with Gerhert, who is awful, and this time I did great. He explains everything very well and does not require lots of fluff work. I loved this class!
Great professor! Would take again.
I took this internet course this fall and made an A. I believe that his tests are partially based on previous quizzes because he wouldn't let me review one that I had taken. Tests are based on questions in back of book. Requires some studying but not too bad. Quizzes are open book, but tests are on campus. I would definetely take him again.
I took this class online. It does require a lot of reading but once you familiar with the chapters, it is very easy. Just do everything he ask and you should do fine. If I had time I would take him of campus. Met him for the final and he is a nice man. I am taking him online again for the fall.
Dr. Lambert's love and knowledge of subject shows. He published and uses for teaching a supplemental notebook (taken from text).....perfect for note taking. I believe that this class could not be better presented. He really wants students to succeed.
Great teacher! He is very helpful and fair. He gives great study resources for his exams.
I took this professor thinking I was gonna fail, somehow I barely passed with a "C"
Very easy material just a lot of time on reading and doing the study guides.
i learned alot in this class and i enjoyed. he was really helpful and as long as you keep up with everything you will pass i expecting to make a B and made an A.
He is super sweet and helpful! This is a really hard class though so it's not a blow off!
Mr. Lambert was so nice! He makes the sbject easy to understand and pretty much holds your hand through the semester,BUT u do have to do the study guides, but all of it comes out of the text and lectures which are very easy to understand (he writes his own book for the class- easy reading and interesting/factual) . Awesome guy, take him if you can!
Easy going straight forward professor... Funny in a nerdy kind of way.
this was the only class outta 4 this semester that i didnt drag going to. great teacher, very nice and sweet. can tell he loves this subject.
Excellent class! excellent teacher! He enjoy teach and I would take him again. :)
Easy going prof. Very nice guy. Uses his actual pics in slide shows for geography class. He is kind of nerdy, but in a good way. The class overall is pretty easy, but you must study for the exams or else you will sink. I would highly recomend Dr. Lambert.
This was a great class. Throughly enjoyed going to class and the prof knows his Geog. Uses his actual slides from his trips which helps picure where we are talking about. Class pretty easy as long as you go to class and pay attention and study some. Would recommand this class to anyone who has at least a slight interest in world travels.
Took this class as an online summer course. There was a lot of reading. The quizzes were open book and he told us to memorize where the info in the book was located for the quizzes, rather than knowing the information. I thought this was weird. There was too much information and not enough time. Do all xtra credit and you will pass...got an "A"
Very organized, easy going and helpful professor. The whole class is lecture but is actually pretty interesting unlike most professors. As long as you attend class and follow his lecture with the textbook (he writes his own textbook), it's a guaranteed A or B at worst. Definitely recommend his class to anyone who is even remotely interested.
class was interesting. professor uses his own material, so no need to buy a book. attendance figures into final grade. professor was helpful and easy to understand. made an A. the class was good, teacher was excellent. would take this pofessor again
this professor is amazinggggg, he gives 4 major test and drops one, online simple map and picture quizes, no need for book he has everything you can print online, made an A and would so take him again. he's straight to the point
Online course, it was open book so I thought it would be a breeze... wrongo! Got the hang of it after the 1st quiz though, it's tough but very interesting, I learned more in this class than any course I've ever taken. Ended up with an A by the skin of my teeth with those bonus questions!! He's quick to respond to questions. Great professor!
Took it via the internet had fun with the open book quizzes knew where I messed up on the midterm and final. Did alright would take another class if I had the time.
all positive comments are true of him. took online and he was great. didn't overload with work, but still expected online participation. Only had to go to school for 1/2 the major exams, the rest was done online. Would recommend in a heartbeat.
Professor Lambert is the bees knees man. All his photos are his own from working at National Geographic. He has EXTENSIVE knowledge on the topic and doesn't get hung up on formalities. He's there to teach, you're there to learn. It's not High School and he doesn't treat it as such. Great great great Professor!!!
Took online summer class. Lots of reading. Tests are online and open book. U have to know where to look for answer. Final is closed book and on-campus. If u r able to grasp concepts u will do good.
First and foremost, this class is hard.. a lot of information you have to keep up with. As for professor lambert himself, he is a really good teacher. He uses his own notes so the book is not necessary whatsoever. His lectures are crystal clear and really interesting. but make sure you read his notes.. dont make the same mistake i did
Took his online class. The textbook is a very easy & interesting read. The class itself was easy for me. (this is coming from a major geography buff) Read, take a test, participate in 2 online debates. (loved his methods.. all to my preference) Closed book midterm & final on campus.
ONLINE: Pretty easy. Read the chapters and take a test every couple weeks. There was also two Discussion Debates (not hard). He's good at responding quickly to emails and is always very clear and precise with his words, which is very important in the online classes. Though I didn't particularly enjoy the class, I would recommend him for certain.
One word i can say. He is amazing. If u hate geog take him ul love it. And if u love geop u will adore it. Just take him and see what im talking about!
Luvd this prof! u will be able to go around the world in this class bc all of his pictures r SELF TAKEN!! he is very passionate about his class and his students!hes always there if u need any help!no textbook!watevr he says is on the test!the mor notes the better grade that u get!i luvd this clas!i would definitely take another class by him!
On-line class requires a lot of reading, quizes are open book but difficult. Requires on-line participation and a couple of debates. Research project was time consuming but not difficult. Mr. Lambert is very clear with his instructions and very helpful and responds back quickly. Must take this class serious and read!
I really thought his class was going to be easy based off the comments on here but took him online over the summer and did horrible, barley passed the class. YOU NEED TO SERIOUSLY READ EVERYYYY CHAPTER. just because it’s online doesn’t make it easy, no such thing as googling the answers, straight from the book!
I took him based on the reviews on this website, however, most of these reviews failed to mention that he is obsessed with attendance and will hold that against you if you fail his tests. His lectures do not cover most of the material in his tests. On top of that whole pile of mess, no study guides for absurd amount of material discussed in class.
I really regret taking this online class and you basically read the whole book, all 20 chapters. He didn't give any notes because all the tests are random. you have to know the whole chapter and where exactly to find the answer. He also gave a research project on monday of thanksgiving week due on that sunday a busy week he could've given more time
I absolutely LOVED Dr. Lambert. I took him DT this past semester once a week and loved his class. His lectures are super entertaining (they include his own pictures taken all over the world) and he's very approachable and understanding. His tests are not easy - but, if you attend class regularly, he's willing to help you out. Amazing prof!
I originally took this class because I registered late and have very few options. I got lucky because Professor Lambert is amazing. He is full of information, his lectures and the book are all written by him. As long as you read the material and show up for every class you will do well.
Great professor, easy too. He knows so much. Take his course!!!
Great Instructor! very easy class to pass with an A or B. Textbook is required but I did not use it, you can use online references for Quiz. A lot of reading and tests follow. Nothing but 2 debates the entire online course. VERY EASY I RECOMMEND
The best proffesor Ive had at Sac! He is very clear with his material, only four tests and the final, no textbook needed. He's a very nice and calm guy, I would highly recommend!
Took online class for summer to finish degree plan finished class the first week pretty much. Used slides and quizlet passed with an A.
This class is seriously an easy A. While he isn't the most engaging professor (online), all you need to do is read slides and take the few tests/quizzes. Work is only due like every two weeks - easy credit to earn!
This is an awesome class and Professor Lambert has great communication and wants you to be successful in his class.
Awesome professor! Take this course you will not regret it
I really enjoyed Professor Lambert's class. There are a bunch of quizzes to take but they're not extremely difficult, you do have to write 5 essays for his class but they're more of short answers. You do have to work for your grade so make sure you plan out what you're going to do. He is helpful and responds to emails if you have questions!
Great Professor pretty much straightforward. Just follow the Syllabus and your good to go.
This class was pretty simple. You have to just put the work in, but it's not super difficult. We had 5 quizzes, 4 short essays (200-300 words each), and a final. There were slides and videos provided, plus reading. You can use the search feature if you get the book online.
Dr. Lambert made it a point to be VERY concise with instructions and with the course expectations. He also went out of his way to make sure that we always knew what was coming up and to have the material ready and waiting for those who were willing to make the effort.
Professor Lambert was a great professor while I was not so good of a student. He always responded to my emails with a timely manner and has always given useful and helpful feedbacks. If I ever need to another geography class I would chose him as my professor again.
Didnt Even give a review for the final! Its based off of quizzes then 1 test
I'd say he was a baseline professor. He was mediocre in essays, and gave little productive feedback on assignments. That being said, his assignments are graded so easily that its not like the lack of feedback really hurts anyone
Professor Lambert is an amazing teacher. I took his online class and he opened all the modules on the first day, so you're able to work at your own pace. He gives good feedback and sends out regular announcements to keep everyone on track. He is not a harsh grader. He does not have any opportunities for extra credit and does not give extensions.
The least involved professor you can possibly take for this class. Grades are based on 5 exams, a final exam, and an essay. The book is your only teaching resource along with short (less than 5 minutes usually) educational videos off of youtube. Don't bother taking this class if you're interested in actually LEARNING about geography.
I've rarely enjoyed science or social studies, but professor Lambert changed that for me. I've never had such an accessible teacher! Anytime i emailed him I had a response within an hour! He is extremely organized and will open assignments early if you like to get ahead. He'll help you succeed anyway he can, and knows the material well.
You have 5 quizzes, 3 essays, 1 final. Make it count. Everything is in the textbook. be sure to read front to back, and watch his PowerPoints. They are informative but don't make up for reading the chapter. Everything is open book. He responded to my emails quickly and is sympathetic to circumstances. Just keep the line of communication open.
Professor Lambert has been amazing! Very knowledgeable and personable! He will work with you as long as you talk to him. Hearing about his traveling experiences and his extensive geography knowledge is inspiring! He always answers questions and has clear objectives in the classroom. You will know exactly what youre being tested on! Not big on HW!
Dr Lambert is an awesome professor! I took him online and his class is very interesting and enjoyable! Really passionate about teaching Geography! If you like Geography take this professor and you wont regret it! Easy A as well.
A legend
Listen, this guy is obviously very good at his job, and what assignments we have done this semester I have done well on. But PLEASE consider taking fewer classes if you're going to take his online 1301 class, especially if you are like me and have difficulty reading large amounts. Don't take 5 classes like me. It is interesting, but SO MUCH.
1 final, 5 exams, and 4 assignments. Assignments aren't hard to be honest since its less than 300 words at most. Class requires alot of reading which can be tedious if you leave it for last minute since each chapter has catagories and those categories are alot of sub categories. Just cut a portion to read each day for Sunday to turn in work.
Overall good professor. 5 exams, 3 short papers, 1 discussion post, and final. Easy grader. Helpful lecture videos. Can work ahead. Exams are open book but are difficult. Contain awkwardly worded questions, repeat questions, and questions not found in the text since they are randomly generated from test bank. Must study hard to pass with an A.
Alright, You need to show up to class and you'll pass, His tests are long, but if you paid attention to his lectures and studied the terms and patterns of all the chapters, you'll get the A, hardly any HW, just the tests and 3 papers that he assigns.
Good teacher. He gives really good information and makes it very easy to follow along. If you pay attention in class you'll be fine, as everything you need to know, he tells you.
For me this was the hardest classes I've ever taken, and this is coming from someone who has taken harder classes like calculus and for the most part had little to no issues. What didn't work for me was his teaching style ( if I can even call it that). All he does is tell you to read a 600 paged book and take 5 test worth 55% of your grade.
This is by far the laziest and harshest professor I have ever taken. All he did was give us a 600+ paged book and told us to read it and be ready to take only 5 test on what your read that is worth 55% of your grade. I f you are interested in learning about geography consider taking another professor.
All you do is read a book ad get tested.
Overall great class. But the quizzes would cover many chapters, so every quiz was 50 questions and will have to complete it within 50 minutes. So before you take your quizzes, make sure you're prepared.
I took his 5 week class and it was not hard at all. All the assignments and test were due on Sunday and he gave us a week to do them. There was between 1-2 easy assignments and 2 test every week, but like I said he gave us a week to finish them. Would definitely take his class again.
