good prof., lectures well, gives a few projects during the semester
I loved him he was very easy!
Mr. McNeill is boring. He knows his stuff like the back of the hand and he enjoys teaching it, but his lectures are an hourlong snoozefest. It's an easy course...barely any real work involved. My recommendation: if you take his class, be sure to bring a pillow.
Great teacher. Tests are a little hard, but he gives you some easy assignments to help bring up your grade. I got an A in his class and I'm no geography.
he is easy
This class was so easy! He makes it pretty interesting. He's a laid back professor. Just know the material and you'll make an A on the tests.
Great Professor! Tests are a little hard if you do not study. Gives a pretty accurate review the day before the test.
easy class but watch out for those tests!!! he leads you to believe they'll be easy, but you better study for them.
Good teacher, tests are kind of hard.
He is a great professor. He is very helpful. His tests are on the material, all you have to do is study. He makes you want to learn.
I love Mr. McNeill!!

I took Mr. McNeill for every Geography class that was offered. I love him as a teacher and as a person. He kicks major ass!!!!!
I really enjoied his class...some people told me to avoid him, but i am glad i didnt...he will try to trick you on about three test questions, but the tests and papers are really easy...take him if you get a chance
his papers are very very easy. the tests aren't that bad but you do have to study. he's pretty cool!
I enjoyed him as a teacher his assignment help your grades out tremdously and if you study for the test you will come out with at least a B
he was okay. he was kinda boring. his assignments were pretty easy but his test were kinda hard. i could have found a better teacher for that particular course.
I was very interested in geography.This teacher made it very boring. His tests were ridiculously hard. I constantly thought he asked information we were not informed to learn or understand. His projects are easy.
I love mr. mcneil yes his test are hard if you don't study they are tricky so just take your time Projects are easy but in college you can't wait until the last minute and expect an A I thought he was a great teacher I would totally recommend him!
Really nice guy; easy grading on papers/projects. Tests are very easy if you study - even a little bit.
Love him. Love him. Love him. Can't say enough good things about him. He knows this stuff better then anyone on earth. The best teacher ever. He is a wealth of knowlege and when he speaks you must hang on to every word he says.
He is not a good teacher. Gets off topic a lot. I typed my notes in class, and for each exam I had almost 30 pages of typed notes. So, it is a lot of material. The questions on the exam have nothing to do with the lecture he gives.He teaches like it is an imporant class, DONT TAKE HIM!! Do not take his class...
I totally hated this class. Mr. McNeill CANNOT teach, he constantly jumps of subject and talks fast throughout the entire lecture. 80 percent of the tests comes out of nowhere. Also, its SOOOO much information you have to learn for each tests, makes you wanna have a early breakdown.lol. But no, seriously, take Mr.McNeill ONLY if you want to stress!
Very good teacher. Speaks slowly. Four tests plus a couple projects. His tests are a bit difficult. He words the questions so they are tricky. Just study and it's easy. Overall pretty good.
NO....NO....NO
McNiell made a point to talk slow and repeat himself during lecture; offered quizzes, easy projects, and bonus activities to help out grades; and made the material relatable to his students and was there to help if needed.I don't see why anyone would be critical of him unless they just didn't put any effort into the class.
Online class: his tests are hard, before the test he sometimes tells you what to focus your studies on, if not feel free to email him. Know definitions do not just go by power points, maps on dest difficult to read. If you contact him for help, he will Help, take him if you are diciplined enough to study the text book and powerpoints
I liked him. Hes easy after you figure him out. He makes you think on his quizes and tests. Some questions are kinda tricky but they're all mult. choice and you can eliminate 2 immediately. You have to use your head to pich the right one from there. He gives a practice quiz on the first day of class that is a good example of how his tests are.
He gives power point for every test and 90% of the material comes from them. The rest you MUST attend class to hear. He makes the material interesting by often relating it to Louisiana. HE LOVES NEW ORLEANS! He never gets sidetracked and hes an overall nice guy. I didn't like him the first week and thought I was gonna be miserable. I was wrong tho!
Alot of people are saying he jumps off topic. THIS IS NOT TRUE! They are also saying that its too much material and they took too many notes. You will see after the first quiz how he works and you adapt to that easily. He goes over EXACTLY what will be on the test the class before and some questions come word for word from the quizes. Hes great!
I took the online class and it was pretty easy. He gave you all the notes and videos and the test came completely from the notes. Just use your notes during the test and youll do good.
Overall an outstanding professor. He gives you an overview of what to study for his test so if you study the material you'll pass the test. He is pretty easy going but he does NOT like cell phones in his class. TAKE HIM!!
Very easy!! Take him, he gives a lot of extra credit and you will have 3 papers to write but they are very easy and he grade easy,too. He reminds me of Santa Claus and he also makes this noise after he talks or laughs. Its cute! Everyone in class laughs at it everytime we have class and u really have to pay attention to it b/c u can look over it!
McNeill is one of the best teachers i've had. Test are pretty tough; However, he does a review almost identical to the test. Very easty to get along with and helps you with anything..School or personal. Highly Recommended
His tests are tough but he always reviews. You have to write a paper but it was easy. I got an A. He offers some extra credit. Im going to have to high B in his class. The Final is not Cummlitive. So that a plus. He is nice and has a great laugh!!
Great guy! I took the online class and did HORRIBLE on the first test. I went to his office and he gave me and another student weekly lectures in his office. I was able to make an A in the class after that. I would not take him online, but in a regular classroom setting he would be a great teacher!
Excelent! Most of his test and quiz questions come from the powerpoints, some comes from his lecture, and maybe 1% from the text. He is clear and consise, and always professional. He controls the classroom, and cannot stand cellphones. If I had to I would take him again without question.
Mcneil is probably the best professori have ever had. You do need to go to class, but he makes every effort to help you. I would take him again if I could
I took him online and it was not easy at all. I think I would have benefited more from in class lectures. You have to be EXTREMELY self motivated to take it online and KNOW the material. He was VERY nice and was as helpful as he could be with an online class. Once again, not really a class to be taken online, but really liked the professor.
I took this class online. He is a really good teacher, and he knows his stuff. However, you have to know the material. I have a high B right now. If you just follow what he tells you, you should be fine!
Mr. McNeill is a great teacher, and although some of his lectures are borderline boring, he's a really nice guy and genuinely wants everyone to learn something and do well. He's easy to talk to, and if you study the quizzes (he lets you take them home) and read the chapters you'll ace the exams.
His class is easy if you go to class. 95% of his test questions come straight from his lecture. I opened my textbook twice during the semester. He talks a lot about New Orleans (not exactly my favorite city). Again, if you want an A, do not skip class. It's kind of a boring class, but what freshman class isn't?
Attendance is mandatory for the lecture. Tests are mostly lecture notes. His lecture is consistent so he will always tell you info needed for the tests. Quizzes ans tests are easy if you study. Gives plenty of bonus opportunities! extremely helpful and always e-mails quickly. RECOMMEND COMPLETELY!
I took him for 103 and 322. He is very easy, however, I got C's in his classes only cause I took him online and really didn't care. I would recommend taking him in the class. It will seem to easy via internet when it really isn't.
Very nice teacher. I took 103 online, which I don't really recommend. I made an A but it was a struggle. I've been told it's much easier to take the lecture. But overall very nice guy.
SUPER EASY! I made between a 95-100 on every exam. It really doesnt get any easier than this people. Highly recommended. If you dont make an A in the class, you just plain arent trying. Nice guy also.
Very nice guy. Took him online during summer. Don't recommend taking during the summer. I got an A, but it was a strugle. He did he offer extra credit and you have two papers to write. Would take him again.
Easy class. I took this class over the summer online and it was super easy. He will pretty much tell you what to expect on all the exams. He gave two essays, but the criteria was simple. He pretty much will go out of his way to make sure you turn your work in and will give you second chances for grades. Easy class. Recommend Summer online term.
i took his online class and i have to say it is the best online class i ever took! he has everything explained to a T. you will get a email reply from him with in 24 hours. he is sweet & helpful. and generous if he can tell your trying he will help you out. he hates giving people bad grades and will sometime move dead lines.
Cool professor that is easy going & clarifies course requirements. You will cover a lot of material in this class so you should consider attending class regularly. 4 exams are straightforward from lectures, 2 essays, 3 map quizzes.
This guy really cares and takes his job seriously. He has a great sense of humor and is available to students if they need help. I learned a lot and had a good time with the material.
My least favorite class at Southeastern. Projects are pretty easy, but tests are very difficult, class is extremely boring, and he condescends when people dont ask questions after his test reviews. Don't take if you do have to!
So helpful! He has a review before EACH quiz and test which are verrry helpful! He also gives bonus opportunities. One for 20 POINTS and the other for 10... I'd take him if you had the option. Also, if you're on his good side he is soo sweet and helpful!
I cannot begin to tell you how difficult this class is. His exams and quizses are thoughrough and he does not allow enough time to get it done. (roughly a minute per question). Very nice professor, but that doesn't get you an A. Very difficult. FYI I am a straight A student.
Great teacher, gets irritated when class doesn't get involved though. Very willing to meet with students if needed. Extremely knowledgable and actually sat down and explained everything I was having trouble with. I would recommend him if you are willing to put in the work to get a good grade.
Mr. McNeill is a pretty good teacher for the most part. I've taken him twice. I would record him because he can skip around sometimes. He is very willing to help you as long as you attend class. Super good professor, highly recommend him! Tells very bad jokes though!
he is a good teacher PLEASE DO NOT get up to try and leave early he will come after you. He does reviews for test. Always gives ample time to study. Gives papers to write though
This teacher is very boring. He likes to punctuate the end of his sentences with an impersonal, demeaning laugh. There are at least three quizzes, two papers, and four tests. The final is the fourth test and is not cumulative. He does give several opportunities to make up missed quizzes and tests. If you can, take someone else.
Great professor! Pretty clear lectures, definitely passionate about what he's teaching. Would take him again for sure!
Overall, he is not a bad teacher. His first two test are hard, but last ones are fairly easy. He gives lots of extra credit, and we even went on a field trip. He is a very nice man, and you can tell that he wants the best. I just think the subject isn't fun in general, but he tries to make it better. He also laughs at himself a lot.
He has the powerpoints up but he very rarely uses them. A lot of times he'll leave it on one slide and then lecture about everything else and then go through the powerpoint in a random order. The material isn't hard but studying is required!
Textbook isn't much needed. Tests come straight from class notes/powerpoints. Take good notes, show up to class & study the notes/powerpoints, you'll be guaranteed an A.
You have to pretty much write down every single thing he says and study, study, study. A lot of his test questions will be small things he only mentioned once in the lecture. He uses powerpoints, but they aren't beneficial much when studying. Must attend class to pass. Very boring teacher, but he does give lots of bonus points.
I took him for Geo of LA and boy, was I surprised. Geography is a very diverse science, way more than I bargained for. Professor McNeill raised the bar on diversity! This class was very challenging, and exceptionally instructed. He is knowledgeable, kind and engaging. You'll work for your grade, but he's got heart. He helps those who try.
Posts a lot of the information online which is super helpful. Overall not difficult. Do the work and you'll be fine.
I took this class online and I would suggest this to anyone looking to take this class. Very easy class with only 4 tests and one paper.
I feel that he is a good teacher, but his lectures are not as creative as others. That makes it hard to pay attention.
There wasn't much guidance and organization of the power point slides. He gave us the slides and then most of the time what was on the test wasn't on the slides.
Mr. McNeill is easy, but you have to study. There are 4 tests, 4 quizzes, and 1 paper. He reviewed for every test by reading questions off of previous tests. Here's a hint: study these questions because the exact same ones will appear on the test. As long as you study your notes, the maps, and the review questions you should make an A in the class.
You can do the bare minimum in this class and still get a B. His lectures suck and are everywhere but he gives sample questions for the tests and tells you what to study. 4 quizzes and 4 exams, one very easy paper, several extra credit opportunities. I didnt learn much but the class wasnt bad. If you have to take it, take him.
Easy class and Mr. Mcneil knows what he is talking about. If you listen and stay on his good side you will be fine. Class gets easier through out
Hardest class I have ever been in. Make sure you know everything about geography before you enter the class room. His test questions don't come from the notes.
Prof. McNeill isnt bad but I did not have the expierence many others have had. I would not recommend skipping class. I ended the class with a low B and that was after 26 bonus points. Definitely study or you will not do well.
This class was by far the easiest class i have ever taken. The people saying it was hard did not go to class. He gives a review the class before the test with 15/20 exact questions. Tests include the exact quiz questions which he gives you a copy of. If you study the material he tells you, do bonus and show up to class-EASY A with minimal effort
He gives all notes from his lecture slides and on exam review day literally reads off 10-20 questions from the exam. If you go to class its easy to make a good grade. He is a pretty high strung about phones, distraction, etc. but just respect him and hell respect you.
Its not an easy class, but if you go to class and study youll do fine.
Easy class! Great for boosting your GPA, however, you must read and do the quizzes. There is a quiz every week worth 25 points. there's a midterm and final. There's a cultural paper as well that can be on any aspect of cultural geography that helps with the grade. Way too easy not to pass with a good grade!
Awesome teacher, just show up to class and take notes. Easy A. Good personality too!
I love this professor. He cares so much about his students and that they all pass his class. All powerpoints are on Moodle and are very helpful. Has quizzes before every test and has bonus opportunity. Tests are not that hard just study for them and you will be fine. Look on quizlet for help with studying. Highly recommend taking him.
TAKE HIM! All of his quizzes and exams are posted on quizlet. I wish I would of known this in the beginning of the semester or I could of ended with an A. But this professor cares about his students and also offers a bonus opportunity.
Lectures every day. Usually does not keep students over 45 minutes. The class is really easy as long as you pay attention. He gives multiple group and bonus assignments. He is super sweet and will always help if you need. If you study what he tells you, you will do fine.
Awesome Professor!!! I was not very good with Geography so I should not have taken it online. Take good notes and study.
He kinda has a sense of humor toward himself and makes jokes that he thinks is funny and is kinda sarcastic. If you try to leave before class ends he will stop class and stare at you until you tell him why you are leaving. Get ready to study.
gives a review before tests and quizzes. tests are right from the study guide. posts lectures on moodle. very caring and will make time to tutor you if you need it
He is an amazing Professor! He cares about his students and works with you. He keeps lectures short and test are easy because he does test reviews. I wish I could take him every year.
Professor Gerald always makes sure we know EXACTLY what to expect on both the quizzes and exams. He wants you to pass and the only way you could fail his class is if you never go because thats when he does all the reviews before the quizzes and tests. Highly recommend taking him.
Awesome professor! He cares about his students and wants them to succeed. As long as you do your part by showing up and actually paying attention you'll have no problem passing his class. Don't be disrespectful by playing on your phone, or coming in late!
McNeil is pretty good. Keeps classes short and gives exact test questions the class before exams and quizzes. Go to class and write his notes and youll come out with an a or b
Has a dry voice during lectures that will put you to sleep. Notes on moodle are completely opposite of test.
Mr. Mcneill is extremely kind and will do his best to make sure you pass his class. He tells you exactly what will be on the test and will give you test answers on the day of the test. As long as you show up to class and pay attention you will pass with an A or B.
Ok guys this professor is incredible. Hes inspirational, hes encouraging, hes an ally. His only goal is to teach you what you need to be successful. He Gives you all of the tools you need. Read the chapters he says you need to read. Do the work trust in his guidance and you will succeed. Hes a refreshing change. No trickery
