Dr Mitchem is a great new addition to our earth science dept. He is friendly and funny. I like his southern accent. He's a cutie. I swear the earth science dept. has the best looking professors. Kaufmann, Mueller, Wickham and now Mitchem HOT!
WOW ! What a prof. He is so clear in his lectures and he is EASY on the eyes. The accent is icing on the cake
Boy, the weather professors are some fine looking males. However it is Dr. Mitchem's accent that makes him the winner. Great prof - wants students to do well
Great prof, will really try and help you out
i dont know what the others are saying. this guy will putcha to sleep in a heartbeat! good luck studying for his test there is about 500 slides a test. yikes
This was an easy class... Yes, there are alot of power point slides but they are all posted online. I would recommend his course to anyone who wants to take a class that is easy, and somewhat interesting.
HIS CLASS IS VERY EASY. ALL NOTES(POWER POINT SLIDES) IS ON BLACKBOARD. HE IS A GOOD PROFESSOR AND HELPS YOU IF YOU ASK HIM TOO. WOULD BE A GOOD AND EASY CLASS TO TAKE ONLINE IF THEY HAVE IT.
He is cute, but there is no point to go to class because all the notes are on blackboard. The only problem with the class is that there are all four tests to make up your grade which can be a bad thing if you do bad on one. oh, and there are 1398479579813987 slides for one test. Way too much info.
Awesome prof. Clear, concise, and interesting. A lot of information, but listen and don't write everything down. His tests aren't hard, but there's a lot of info. Southern accent is a killer sometimes too....
GREATEST prof Hands down! Very easy very helpful! Wants everyone to pass his course. Notes on blackboard a review sheet. Good Stuff!Im going to try to find another gen ed class I can take with him! I love his accent and he is just adorable! My fav prof. by a long shot!!
Very good teacher. I already like science, but Dr. Mitchem made it fascinating and easy to learn. A little like listening to Forrest Gump, only way smarter and more interesting. He's a great guy and a great teacher. I hope I can take more of his classes in the future. A+
He is nice- but watching power pnt. presentations w/ the lights off will put u 2 sleep.ur hand will feel like its going to fall off from all the notes u write.he puts the slides on the net- so its kinda pointless to go to class- but will sometimes take random attendance if he sees not alot of ppl are there & give the ppl there bonus points.

Probably my favorite teacher last year. He helps you out whenever you need it. Just a really nice guy.
Great prof and that southern accent is so cute.
I mean...he's cool or whatever but i HATE the subject so o well
Not only a great teacher but also a great person to know. He is very helpful and very knowledgable in what he teaches.
VERY easy class, take the notes, study his reviews and you'll pass all 4 exams. The entire class is built around the notes so if you don't like writing don't take the class. He doesn't really "teach" just reads the notes so its kind of boring, but extremely easy and Mitchem is a very nice man.
Hes a very nice guy and he helps you out a ton! He talks like hes...yeah. But hes a super nice guy and will help ya and always tell u about tutoring. Only set back is theres a million slides
If you need a science class with a lab- this is the class to take. its easy. all you do is listen to him read the power point slides and take notes. the tests can be tricky w/ the way he words things though
Dr. Mitchem is such a nice, down to earth professor. He is one of the most helpful professors I've had. His classes are very interesting, and his tests and assignments challenging but very fair. An overall very great professor, you have to take one of his classes at some point. Thanks, Dr. Mitchem!!
great class - follow along with powerpoint and take good notes and you'll do great - some online assignments but you can use your book and notes - 2nd and 3rd tests are kinda hard so STUDY
VERY nice guy with an awesome personality! he is really funny-great sense of humor, you laugh daily in that class. you learn a lot and he makes it interesting! take this class!
Great professor, before you leave this campus, you must take a class with him. I am so excited that he is teaching Ocean. Of course, he is hot and this makes paying attn a little difficult
His looks and accent are to die for. He is a great professor. He works hard to help his students understand the information.
Before leaving Cal you must take this cute Southern professor. Very helpful and wants students to meet their goals.
That would be would be Emergency Management. Dr. Mitchem is my advisor and he's the whole reason why I'm a science major now. He's the most aweome professor I think I've ever had and I highly recommend him to anyone. I only wish I could take more of his classes :)
A great professor, he works so hard to make sure his students understand things. Plus he is hot, that is why I stayed after class so many times
He seems like such a dork, but I guess that's good thing. His class is easy, just Powerpoint presentations daily, some easy homework assignments that give you a ton of free points, and tests that follow the Powerpoint. He's a nice guy though and makes lame jokes that somehow are funny because he's so nerdy!
He's a very nice guy that gives you alot of extra assignments that bring your grade up. He just goes over his powerpoint notes. You really have to study your notes though because there is alot of material that he goes over. I suggest you take him for science.
Mitchem is the nicest and sweetest Professor at Cal. If you go to classes, pay attention, and study the review he gives you will do great. He also assigns homework on blackboard that boosts your grade.
Very nice, helpful guy. Puts notes on blackboard and doesn't take attendance, but it's important to go to class to know about homework assignments and reviews for tests. Be sure to pay attention to homework on blackboard because it's only on for a limited time. Drops lowest grade and curves if necessary.
VERY EASY! Puts notes on blackboard and goes over them in class. He is funny and fun to be with. It can be boring but I like going to this class cause its relaxing.
Awesome, awesome, awesome! Easy class, easy prof!! I hardly went and didn't study as much as I should have and got a C! all notes are on blackboard so you really don't need a textbook!
He is young so that helps him relate to students more. He is funny and makes the material interesting. He is a really nice guy and if you go to him with a question or for help, he will do everything he can to help you. Take him!
Dr. Mitchem is the best! He wants students to succeed and will go above and beyond to be sure that everyone understands the material. Highly recommend!!!
He's a pretty fun guy. He's now teaching at Gainesville State College in Georgia. I enjoy his class.
He's funny and easy to understand. I love his classes.
He was a great teacher. He is the reason I decided to continue studying GIS! If you miss none or one day of class, he lets you skip the final, if you like your grade at the end of class and he replaces your lowest test grade with your highest!
He is such a good professor, helps you understand the material and cares how well you do in the class. Highly recommended.
An outstanding professor who really cares about his students and makes sure they learn the material.
He's a GREAT prof. Always shows applications of the stuff we learned in class so we know how it applies to the real world. He's crystal clear when he explains stuff and is always willing to help you if you're having a hard time but really GISC1101 is a pretty easy course. I have him for Cartography and I'll def. take him for more classes :)
Very nice teacher, helpful, makes the subject interesting, even if no prior interest existed.He has a good sense of humor also and makes learning fun. Make sure you do your work on time, show up for class, put effort into the tests.
Extremely nice and helpful. Loves what he teaches. Come to class, pay attention, do your work and you will be fine. He does review before the tests that are very helpful. Really nice guy.
Very easy class. He has all the powerpoints online. Always does a review before the test. You can replace your lowest test grade with your highest if you have perfect attendance. Really funny and helpful guy.
Wonderful professor, loves his field. Weather is his passion. I now understand weather and can apply it daily. Great class.
Terrific teacher! You MUST take him. He loves what he teaches and those are the best kind of teachers. Used the textbook for one assignment; Lab manual is mandatory. Just buy it so you can write in it. Pay attention in class and you'll earn an easy A. You'd make a BIG mistake if you took another teacher. J.Mitchem rocks. Sign up for him, trust me.
best science teacher!! i'm not a science major and i needed a science class for my associates so glad i chose him. easy class!! 4 tests(if you go to class everyday lowest grade gets replaced with the highest) 4th test is your final. 4, 1-2 page, essays (extremely easy) no quizzes. book isn't needed. only way to fail is not doing any of the work.
Here's a guy who understands that not everyone is a science major. He teaches the subject so that you can understand it without the majority of complicated formulas; and for the lab portion, he'll walk you through that stuff. I was already interested in weather before I took the class, and he helped expand that. Seriously, a great professor.
Best science class ever. He makes the class interesting and works to avoid the minutia. You don't need the textbook and there are no quizzes. There are four brief essays and four tests. The labs are done together and like other have said, he walks you through it. So glad I took this class!
Wonderful professor, loves his subject material. Makes class interesting. Shows real life application for subject daily, very helpful! Will take other classes that he teaches.
Highly recommended professor. Very easy to understand and very helpful! Another plus: Attend everyday and he drops lowest lab grade and replaces with your highest!
He's a good man He cares about his students. He's enthusiastic. Turn off your computer and listen to him and you won't need to study much to get a good grade. You'll learn a lot too. He could shorten the lectures a little. Overall, it was an excellent class.
Dr. Mitchem loves his subject. When I took this class, it was the first time that he had ever taught it. We had to write 2-3 page essays every week. That was also the test format. We did one group project.
Dr. Mitchem is a great professor. He is easy to listen to, and you can honestly just pass the class by showing up. I read the assigned book for more background, but he only has about two questions per test having to do with the book which is manageable if you study.
Show up, do the homework (3-4 page essays every week -_- ), there's a group project, and take home tests. Not hard at all. He's a very easy grader, you'll get an A+ easily.
Dr. Mitchem is awesome. He is very nice and is very passionate about what he teaches. Easy A!
Professor Mitchem is awesome!! I loved this class, it was so interesting. He is a very nice guy and loves teaching. Always willing to help you. He went over the practice exam with us and gave us everything we needed to know to make excellent grades! Take him!!!!
A super super super great teacher! You will however need to write 1 essay a week, but its all information based and he tells you exactly what hes looking for so theres no confusion. Would highly recommend and would take him again!
He is very nice! You don't need the textbook to pass the class. Homework is graded very easily! Make sure you pay attention to what he talks about, because he only tests on things discussed during class.
Super great professor, really loves what he does, do the homework, it's what bumped me up from a B to an A. Prof Mitchem really cares about what he teaches and cares that you understand the content. I recommend this class to everyone
I took his class in the summer. Very easy class as long as you show up and do your work. If you have perfect attendance, he replaces your lowest test grade with you highest test grade. His lectures are pretty boring, but if you're into weather than his lectures are fun, I guess. He is pretty funny and he curves all tests.
If you're unsure of something, go up and ask him, he will give you the tools you need to pass plain and simple
He is a good professor to care all the students. The tests are curved. I think study guide does not help. If you go to class and pay attention in class, you will be fine.
His test's are pretty scattered around the place but he is a good person at heart. Just try to pay attention in his classes even though it may be hard. Honestly if you show up the class before the test then he will go over the review guide and you should get a solid B on the test.
Jamie Mitchem is so passionate for weather ! he loves what he does and teaches. The class consist of power points and In class labs and only 5 paragraph length homeworks. I 100% recommend this class for someone who does not want to take a physics or a biology. The class does drag a little but its just due to the fact the class is a littlelong
Dr. Mitchem is a true gem. He loves climatology and weather and that's what makes the class great. He's not a tough test-giver, all questions are straight from the slides, plus he does a great review. He does lump the class and lab into one 2.5hr class, but it's very doable. Don't need a book for lecture, but you do for lab
Mitchem is a really nice guy! He's such an easy A. Literally listen to what he says the day before the test and study that. You can study for 10 minutes before a test and make at least a B.
Such a great teacher! He definitely cares about his students and what he teaches. Loved his class and very caring and nice. Lectures are a little long, but I would definitely recommend his class.
I loved Dr. Mitchem and his class. He is the nicest guy you'll ever have and is very reasonable with his tests and labs. I enjoyed how he put all view points on his lectures about climate change and controversial topics. Tests are multiple choice and as long as you pay attention to some of his lectures and do the study guide, it's an Easy A.
His lectures are very interesting and he is funny. His class is simple nothing complicated.
Loved Prof. Mitchem's class! There were multiple occasions in which I had to miss class due to work, but he always allowed me to make up my tests! He gives homework over the regions, but its super easy. Go to class, make sure to jot down some key notes, and its a simple easy A! Would definitely take again, he actually makes this course interesting!
This class was a good intro to geography and country diversity around the world. 5 tests + 5 map quizzes, 5 summaries of different countries, and the final was not cumulative. You don't need the textbook to get an A, and he drops your lowest test grade and replaces it w/ your highest if you have perfect attendance. Mitchem is a nice guy.
Prof. Mitchem is a really nice guy. His class is nothing but lectures with powerpoint and occasionally a video. It can be a little boring sometimes but he is passionate about the material so that helps keeping you interested. The tests are pretty easy if you study the power points. Map Quizzes are super easy. Easy A and I learned a lot. Recommended
He's a great professor but the lab manual is AWFUL. Go to lab because he takes the time to explain everything and makes sure you understand it. You can't skip lab and actually pass bc those labs make no sense without him. He's just as friendly and helpful in lab as he is in lecture. Labs are graded by an assistant so they're tough.
best professor at UNG. Go to class (you can drop lowest test grade with perfect attendance). Go to exam review (then study this). Tests are multiple choice and true/false but he prepares you in review. I wish he taught more variety of classes because I would like to take more of his classes as electives for the A!
Dr. Mitchem's lecture were very boring but occasionally interesting when he talked about current world issues. The tests/map tests were relatively easy if you studied. I would recommend if you're trying to take an easy class.
I took Dr. Mitchem over the summer @8am so lectures/lab were mandatory. They were also long & boring (but, some chapters were interesting). He is very passionate about his career & he is SUPER helpful and understanding. Definitely would recommend him if you're looking for an easy A. He does give hw which are just article reviews. Great Professor!!
I love professor Mitchem! He is such a great teacher and he really wants to see his students succeed!
Take his class! It's super easy! He's very nice and willing to do anything to make sure his class is easy for you. Graded by very few things, but all are easy A's if you put a little effort into it. Attendance isn't required, but it helps listening to his lectures because most of his tests are based off what he says, not from his powerpoints.
Hes a great professor and person. He truly cares how his students are doing and wants to help you as much as he can. I took his class during the COVID-19 switch from in-class learning to online learning. He made everything as painless as possible. Hes just a good guy and a great professor. Im taking another class with him this summer.
By far the best professor I have ever had! If you get the chance to take him for any class no matter what it is, do it. He was so helpful during the pandemic, and he is so nice. 10/10 recommend him for any class!
Dr. Mitchem is one of the most caring and educated professors at UNG. He actually invests his time into his students. His lectures are funny and he always keeps students engaged. Have questions? ASK HIM! He will answer all questions that you may have. Show up, do your five homework assignments, read the chapters, study for tests and you will pass.
He heavily relies on the powerpoint for tests! He's very caring and gives you time to make up stuff. If you talk to him, he'll understand when turning things late. His tests are the most difficult thing about the class, but other than that map quizzes and homework is pretty easy. He's a great professor.
I loved this class and professor! I genuinely learned so much that I did not know prior about the world! He is super sweet and funny without even trying sometimes. The class itself is super easy if you pay attention. Minimal assignments, and tests are just like PowerPoints. I recommend!
Great professor. I took him for Environmental Studies and it was one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. I will take one of his classes again.
Loved Dr. Mitchem! He loves to talk and gives good lectures. He is funny and makes connections from the material you learn to present events. Study the review guides he gives (which he goes over before every test) and it is an easy A course
Dr. Mitchem is amazing, his lectures can be a little long but the information he shares is important to know both for his exams and for the real world. I would take any class he taught.
claims the tests are made from the textbook and power point but that is not the case, about half the questions are not from either not sure where he got the questions. def would not recommend.
His lectures are very boring and he rambles on in a monotone voice in which I could barely pay attention. He does upload videos from 2020 and those seemed to help. My biggest complaint is his tests. He puts questions on there that you did not learn about or skimmed over. He also doesn't stick to his word. Don't recommend.
Dr. Mitchem is one of the smartest, kindest professors at UNG, he truly cares about his students and has so much real-world knowledge to share with his students. This class was very structured and had quite a few writing assignments but the due dates were extremely reasonable and I gained a lot of knowledge from this course.
Really nice guy. Lectures can be boring but he tries to make them interesting. Offers helpful study guides and reviews for the tests. Was really helpful with the labs as well. He recommends buying the textbook but its expensive and really not necessary, just go off the power points and reviews. Generous and flexible with due dates. Graded most late
Mitchem is such a nice guy. However, his lectures were sometimes hard to get through as he shares his own politcal opinion on many geographical areas. The tests however were common sense that many could take without attending lecture. The biggest challenge was there was a weekly paper due. There is a total of 10 papers.
All the reviews saying his exams were difficult, are probably freshman not used to college exams. They are so easy if you pay attention and study. He's suer nice and funny sometimes. Class was easy, weekly papers were so easy, juts talk about a country. I highly recommend him.
Mitchem was one of the kindest professors i've ever had. I was unfortunately just having a rough semester, but it is VERY easy to get an A in this class. Just show up for class, but he does post the lectures online if you can't for some reason. You can tell Dr. Mitchem is very passionate about what he teaches and that makes his class a lot better.
Prof. Mitchem is very caring about his students and wants them all to succeed. He is very direct about what information is included on tests and what to focus on most. He is very flexible when it comes to deadlines for homework assignments and labs. I definitely recommend him for anyone interested in learning more about weather & climate.
I thought this class was great. You can tell he loves teaching this class and enjoys talking about weather and climate. There are a lot of labs but they aren't hard if you turn them in on time. He is very flexible with deadlines and tests match the lectures very well.
If you're looking for a class to fulfill your lab science requirement then this is the one to take. Professor Mitchem is really nice and you can tell he really enjoys teaching. The exams are multiple choice and as long as you fill out the study guides he provides for the tests you should be good. Writing assignments are also straight forward.
This is my second time taking him and I loved it! Again, he is very informative! He's great at his job and he is very kind. This class had 4 tests. Study! Pay attention in what slides he wants you to focus on. He literally will help you pass.
Professor Mitchem is a great teacher - his lectures are engaging, and he's always happy to answer questions. The exams can be challenging, but if you stay on top of the readings and assignments, it's an easy A. Unstuck ai was a lifesaver for test prep.
Dr.Mitchem is very chill. The class is very lecture heavy and he goes off topic at times but he truly cares about what he teaches.
Took this online in the summer, and it was pretty simple. We had a textbook and had to fill out one or two pages every week. Simple workload and good for a simple one-class summer.
Super easy class and I put in very minimal effort. He does narrated labs for you so it's pretty hard to fail them. Two class lockdown tests and the lab final is lockdown. He posted review videos for all lockdown tests which basically covered what was needed. I didn't really ever study or read the textbook. Content is basically common sense.
Dr. Mitchem is a great choice for Weather and Climate especially if you are just trying to fill the credit. His lectures are veryyy wordy which was my only downside so this class is a lot os studying. Had like 4 paragraph assignments the whole semester and 3 tests! Final was online not proctored! Labs were super easy because he helps a lotttt!
