Hot hot hot!
Easy going and straight forward about expectations. Highly recommended! Do your reading. make flash cards, and you'll go far:)
Read the book, look at his notes, write your one fun paper and sail through. He's a nice guy as well. It's always refreshing when you run across those who don't equate torture and busy work with learning. Wonderful! I believe he's at OSU now.
A very cool teacher. Just look through the book, his notes, and handouts and the class is a breeze. He gives out guides to study for when it comes to the test. One of the best teachers i have had. It shows that he really like what he teaches. Take his class!
Since I took the class on-line I do not really know the prof that well! I know that his exams were the hardest exams I have ever taken in my whole life! Definitely read the material and memorize detail! It is crazy how much time you will need to spend studying for this class!
He hands out study guides, all the homework, and the final exam on the first day of class. Everything on the tests are in the study guides he hands out, so it's not hard to get an A and still not show up.
This class is easier than it appears. Follow the format he gives for the two papers. I did not look at the book once and simply printed off the course notes and study guides. I read only what was on the study guide for each test. There is a final presentation, but he does not care about how it is presented, just the content.
Spectacular. He is absolutely the best!
I agree w/ prev user "easier than it appears". seems like alot of work, but he gives you everything u need. Spend a bit of time on 2 papers, presentation to make sure they're complete, but everything else is handed to you. Web class so didnt see him,but always quick to email responses to quesitons. thumbs up!
Easy, easy 'A'. Don't bother buying the book- total waste of $, did not use it at all. He makes study guides and course notes, that's all the info on the test. Takes some time memorizing the info, have to do 2 papers but he tells u exactly what to write in them, same with the presentation. He's a nice guy too, laid back. NOT hot tho ;)
Awesome!
A great guy...definitely take his classes if you can.
One of the best professors I've ever had. He is quick to respond to e-mails and always helpful. You will have to study a great deal for his tests, but they are very fair. As long as you study and keep up with the work you will have a good grade.
Definitely fun...take one of his classes if you can!
homework is extremely easy and its a good thing because his exams are nigh impossible to prepare for. I had to study two hours each day for a week to get an A on my final and most exams cover over 15 pages of pure notes that he posts online. Good guy though, just very hard exams.
Great teacher, really nice guy. Go talk with him during office hours, get some face time in and your good to go
Class won't be too bad if you don't work,don't take any other classes,don't have family or friends,spouse,or kids,house,don't bathe,live in a cave and only read his notes for 12 weeks straight then maybe, just MAYBE you can get above a "C" in this class. It is ridiculous.
Good prof. Makes you work hard, but as long as you do your work, you will do well. Very helpful if you ask.
Great teacher! Wish he taught more classes. Really pulled you into the subject!
Dr. Neubauer is a great professor! I took capstone with him and there are no texts for the class, but I had to do a lot of research for my project. Eric was there anytime I needed something and he replied to emails very fast. I felt that the class was easy, but probably just because my interest in the subject is there. Def. take him if you can!!
Don't read the book just the notes that he has prepared. Test are hard but if you do good on the papers and assignments you will get a B. Take him, very organized.
Dr. Neubauer was great. It was a lot of material to cover but he laid out the class expectations very clearly. Use the study guides and really study them. Every question comes from them. Know them and you will pass. Slack off and you won't. Very fair and very helpful. A great professor!!
I had to study a lot for the class because let's face it, the world is a pretty big place. You will know exactly what to study...the tests are straight from the study guides. If you can memorize things, you'll do fine. Take the time to learn each week's material and then move on while still reviewing the previous weeks. Don't wait until the end.
Easy course, easy material. Pretty much straight memorization. I suggest taking the online course so you don't have to drive. Now, on to the man himself. He is a hippy looking dude that tends to be very mean in person. He is very dry and has no sense of humor.
I took this class online and it was by far the easiest online class ever! Teacher is clear on everything and responds to emails super quickly!!! Great Teacher!
I took the online course. The instructions could not have been more clear. One of the best online courses I have taken due to the detailed explanations of what is expected of you. I barely used the book, but the study guides are key to doing well on the exams. Study those and you will do fine!
Great instructor! I found his class and its layout to be one of the best I have ever enrolled in. He was helpful with questions and fair in his grading. The study guides he provides are much more useful than the book , but the book is needed. I would take a class of his again.
Excellent instructor! Very organized. Dr. Nuebauer offers a couse orientation at the beginning of the qtr in which he lets you know absolutely everything you need to do in his class to get an A. He shares a great deal of information in a very organized manner. His SSCI 104 class is very informative.
Excellent Professor. Takes a very hard subject and breaks it into little bites. It is so much easier to learn one region of the Earth at a time, with all of of the important ancillary knowledge, than it is just to have to memorize the names and locations of hundreds of places. A+ teacher. If you try you should do well.C or below totally your fault.
Best online course yet! Directions were always crystal clear. Dr. Neubauer had the content laid out perfectly and would respond to emails quickly. The only bad thing is that he takes forever to get grades back. But, all you have to do is study the notes and you will get an A. I would definitely recommend taking his class if you can!
The is the best web class I've taken. Like others have said this professor is very well organized. I didn't buy either book for this course and did very well.Just follow the study guides for exams and turn everything in.

Excellent professor. Took online course and had no problems at all. Very quick to answer emails and willing to work with students to make sure they have complete understanding of subject. Highly recommend taking any course he is teaching.
Class was very easy, I did refer to the textbook but only every few weeks to complete study guide for exam.
Took the web version. There's actually a fair amount of assignments in this class, but everything is well-organized and nothing is ever a surprise. Book is absolutely not necessary. Study guide reviews highlight everything you need to know, and it is all found in the notes he provides. He's a pretty cool guy and really passionate about geography.
Dr.Neubauer is a very helpful professor. You must give a presentation and write a few papers but other than that the assignments are very straight forward.
I took the web GEOG 240 class. All assignments and expectations were mapped out clearly in the syllabus. Not too many assignments, papers were simple. Tests are written DIRECTLY from the study guide. Book was unnecessary, all material is on Blackboard. Timely grading and prompt email responses. An easy A. I'd recommend this class to anyone.
Took this online and he is the best online professor I've ever had! Everything is laid out for you, not too many assignments, plus the study guides have everything you need to know for the exam! Used textbook occasionally, but really not necessary. Met him during office hours to pick up my exam and he is passionate about geography!
Best CSCC professor I've had. Assignments are extremely easy, all papers are self-explanatory, and everything is very organized. Presentation was an EASY A. All tests are copied directly from study guides. I can't say enough good things about Mr. Neubauer. I wish he taught more classes! Textbook not at all needed.
Took this class online and it was fairly easy. You will use the textbook quite a bit, but you can still pass the class with an A if you don't read all of the required texts. He gives you the majority of the answers for exam study guides. His essay is actually very fun to do as well. He is very personable and will respond to all emails efficiently.
I took economic and social geography online with Eric. I was a little intimidated at first because he puts ALL the work for the entire semester on there. However, it great because you can work ahead as much as you want. The book is NOT NEEDED! Do not waste money on it. I did find exams hard, so STUDY!!!
I took this class online. Very easy class...he basically gives you the answers to all of the exams before you take them. There is absolutely no excuse to not get an A in this class. The discussion boards are tedious and annoying, but that's about it.
FANTASTIC professor! I highly recommend taking any class he teaches. This was my first web course and I loved it! His material and expectations were crystal clear and he provides very detailed study guides. The one paper that is assigned is a lot of fun to write and you will find yourself interested in geo even if you previously weren't. Take him!
We took notes for the first hour of almost every class. Next to no homework. But you must study for the tests.
He's a good teacher
He is so monotone and if you take his night course, it's a struggle. We had a project to do and he did not explain any of it. He made us do his map assignment, then we had to create our own. They are nothing alike. Don't get me wrong, he's a nice guy but so boring. I fall asleep while he is talking. Also, he made us go to class on a holiday.
I've taken 3 classes with Eric as my professor. All you have to do is study the study guide he gives out and you'll have zero issues with his class! I've learned alot from all of his classes and highly suggest him if you need an A that's attainable if you just study.
Really great professor. If you need help just reach out and he will be of great assistance. Overall the class is easy if you apply yourself and definitely use the study guides to get A's on the exams. He lays it all out for you. So not much of an excuse not to use the resources he provides.
Dr. Neubauer wants you to succeed in his class. He is a very fair professor. He prepares study guides that consists of everything that may be on the exam. Study the study guides! There are assignments each week,(they are hand-outs he has prepared) they are easy to understand for the most part. If you get hung up on anything, contact him.
Gives study guides for every exam which helps a lot.
He is very helpful and presents the material in a clear way so that it is easy to understand. Study guides are exactly what is on the test and there are no trick questions. Labs were very interesting. He puts you in a lab group so the people in the group are mixed. Very organized. It was cool that he brought in a guest speaker and gave extra credit
Took his class online and was probably the easiest class i have taken. He gives assignments every week but they are not hard. There are tests but if you study the study guide you will pass the test. The study guide has the answers on it. All I did the weekly assignments and studied the studied guide and got an A. Recommend taking his online class.
Overall, the class was pretty easy. For the papers, just put the required information in and expect a perfect score (I looked back at a paper I had gotten a perfect score on and saw a grammatical error I had left). Exams were not too hard because of the way they are written, also. I learned a lot from the class, though.
Online. He has the most awesomely thorough and specific study guide I've ever seen. Everything posted at beginning of class with weekly deadlines- can work ahead. Class is well organized and informative. Tests are thorough but no trick questions- if you know the study guide you'll ace them. Only downside is having to use on campus lab for test.
Excellent Professor- Extremely helpful - makes you aware of exactly what is expected from day one - very interesting -information given for preparation for all exams very helpful
WOW! This professor WILL make you work! - The midterms reviews + final review ARE LONG! It takes HOURS to get it done! - Extremely strict and clear with the due dates!!! - Midterms tests are easy if you do the reviews. - There 2 majors paperwork about your assigned country! + power point! - NO BOOK! Everything you will never is on blackboard!
LOVED taking this class online! He was very clear on what was expected from the very beginning. Study the study guides he gives you, do your map assignments and discussions boards and you will easily pass with an A. His class became almost fun for me!
Book is required, however he posts online notes and gives you a rubric that is practically the test, which are very easy to pass. I didn't read the book other than when doing discussion boards (only 3 and easy). There is one paper, but if you just do it you'll get an A. Good class, easy A.
Great class! Teacher was awesome. I learned a lot in this class and it was not extremely hard to get an A. Teacher made the class fair and easy to understand while also learning. I would recommend this teacher and class to anyone.
This professor is amazing! I took him for online world geography and also took him for weather and climate. His exam study guides are exactly what is on the exam he wont throw anything random on the exam. He is a very easy grader and is always willing to help.
He is an amazing teacher! I took him for online geography and weather and climate. I passed both with an A. He truly cares for his students and will help you pass. His exam study guides are exactly from the exam and he wont throw anything random at you. Also a very easy grader, I highly recommend!
P. Neubauer is very clear with his expectations and quickly responds to emails. 13 assignments due throughout the semester: 3 discussion boards, 2 papers, 3 exams, 1 exercise, 3 map assign., 1 presentation (Note: PRES. ON CAMPUS). Exams do require a lot of studying. Papers are an A if you put in the required material. Minimal use of textbook.
The class rubric is given at the start of class; just hit every checkbox and the class should be easy. Online lecture notes were incredibly useful and I didn't need a textbook thanks to them. Do be aware that there is an on-campus presentation which is basically just a combination of the two papers from earlier in the semester.
Easy class. Took this class online and had no issues. Only 3 exams and had study guides that were helpful in studying for the exams. Everything is very straightforward and he won't throw anything that you haven't learned. Easy to uunderstand too.
Definitely recommend! Very clear on expectations and whats included in exams and homework. Easy to communicate with, always responds to emails. Seems to really care and want his students to succeed.
Terrible professor
I took this class online. He is a good professor. His grading is a little tough but its only because he truly wants you to understand what youre doing. He always gives great feedback too! I would take him again
Such an awesome professor! He grades your assignments super fast and gives you explanations if any points were taken off. All the assignments were very detailed and very easy to follow. I took this class online, and had to take the exams on campus but because of Coronavirus we ended up taking the exams at home.
Ive heard good things about Eric, but taking his online class is the worst decision of my college career. It does not make any sense, its not organized, so sloppy. I asked him a question and he just gives so much attitude like Im an idiot. Wish I wouldve take him in person instead.
Eric was a nice guy who truly is passionate about what he teaches. His lectures made me more confused about the information sometimes so it was lucky that truly all you needed for the exams was the Study Guide. The labs were pointless with all of covid stuff and being at home but the groups were nice because they helped me at least know some stuff.
Weather and climate was an interesting class. His lectures could be a tad dry but not bad. Grade is based on weekly group labs and 3 exams. Labs arent too difficult/long and hes a straightforward grader. Any questions he is happy to explain and easy to understand. All exams come directly from his study guides.
Awesome professor. Pretty much writes the papers for you, although both papers combined were about 20 pages long so get ready to write. Fair grader, but DOES NOT LET YOU MAKE UP ASSIGNMENTS. EXCEPT ONE BECAUSE I BEGGED HIM. never used the textbook or atlas, all tests are super easy and follow the lectures. Great class, great prof, would take again.
Eric is an amazing professor with a wonderful course to match. His class is organized, straightforward, and easy to follow along with. Weekly workloads consisted of reading a textbook chapter, doing an assignment, and working on a travel journal. He replied to emails fast and had a clear grading system. Overall, fun, informative, and easy.
his teaching is drab, he says um 300 times a lecture, just painful to listen to honestly. however, his class is super easy and it would be impressive if you found a way to fail it
Professor Eric was an amazing professor. Class is beyond easy as it's mainly labs with a group and 2 exams. Have a 212/200 in this class. You get a week to turn in your lab and if you turn in early he will send back feedback so you are able to fix your answers and resubmit. He answers all questions. Definitely recommend!
This class had limited reading materials and resources. I was shocked by how much good information was packed into these resources. Clear instructions and grading criteria makes it easy to plan to get an A. Great professor that seems to care about the instructional material.
There is a lot of reading I took this class online and he just gives you a lot of chapters, there some notes he provides and a study guide study these, there is question where you need to read the chapters on the test. there are maps, a paper that's not too bad, and exams. he does give credit for question that a lot of students miss on the exams.
He was a cool guy who really cared for his students.
Very easy class. If it wasnt for the group projects you wouldn't need to come to class at all. -study guide given for each test, you honestly don't need to really pay attn in class -labs are very annoying(groupwork). he will let you check it over with him but he is pretty particular abt answers Nice guy, just annoyed at some aspects of running it.
Eric is a fantastic prof. If you turn things in early he will give you advise to get a better grade. Group labs were easy. His lectures usually don't last longer than 45mins. If your group has the lab completed you don't have to stay for the remainder of the class. Hard to fail his class got a D on all my tests and still got a high B.
Absolutely amazing Professor!! Cannot Recommend Enough!!!! Clearly lays out all grading criteria and as long as submitted work meets such criteria you will receive 100%. Very straightforward assignments and grading process. If you get points deducted, he sends you an email explaining exactly why he deducted points from your submission.
He's a gem! Class is consistently 1/2 lecture 1/2 group labs, and he gives great feedback when reviewing them to ensure you not only receive a good score but also understand the material. He's very grounded and doesn't take the course too seriously. Tests are consistent with lectures and will be easy as long as you keep up with reading. Love him!
I took this online and there are no lectures and everything comes from the book. It's easy to get overwhelmed at first but each exam has a study guide that tells you exactly what will be on the exam and what pages to study so just follow along with that and you'll do fine. Not the best online teacher I've had but he's probably cooler in person.
Professor Neubauer is absolutely amazing. He is a very generous grader. He literally replied to one of my late submission emails at midnight and did not deduct any points for it. His lectures can get a little boring but if you are taking this class just to pass for your degree's requirement, you will be absolutely fine with him as the professor.
Professor Neubauer is awesome. Class has a total of 12 group labs and 3 exams. The labs are a guaranteed perfect because he will review the lab before you submit it if you ask him to. The exams are multiple choice. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Weather and Climate. You can miss a total of 4 classes before it affects your grade. Great class!
This professor has a certain smugness about him. When I would ask questions I could feel him getting annoyed or impatient. It's like he expects you to already know the answer. But he does check your labs before you turn them in which is nice. USE THE STUDY GUIDE FOR TESTS!!! You must study in this class or you will fail the exams.
He was pretty alright. Not much interaction, but he is a fast responder to emails and an incredibly fast grader. You get one assignment a week so workload is managable and consistent. Some questions are from the textbook, but you can easily get by with just the notes the professor provides. Do buy the atlas.
If you have to take a science with lab and are looking for a easy course, he's your guy. I suck at anything science and passed with an A. Weekly lab/lectures and 3 exams plus an optional final.
Professor Neaubauer is a good humble professor, his lectures tend to be very boring though. You need to study well for this class in order to get a decent grade on tests. Only homework was 2 take home labs where you can ask classmates for help. Just make sure you study and take good notes during class and you'll be good.
This class was really easy and map assignments were actually fun the only reason I didn't get an 'A' was because I didn't read the study guide until after exam 1, the questions were basically the test, I did great on the remaining ones after, also he gave us back points on exams that most people missed.
