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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
