What Students Say

Definitely the best professor I have ever had

PSI111 - 5.0 rating

His tests are pretty easy unless you struggle with math, but he's very fair with grading math problems on his tests (he grades on how you do the problem, if you get it wrong you can still get credit for the problem) I would most definitely take him again

Joe also holds review days before a test which helps you prepare as well. Lecture is not boring at all because Joe connects with his students on a personal level.

10/10 professor. One of my favorites thus far. Extremely accessible outside of class, caring, and always has the student's best interest at heart. Joe will do whatever it takes to help you understand the material and do well in class. He wants to see students succeed!

Joe is knowledgeable about meteorology and caring toward students. This class worked well with my schedule since the lab was on Wednesday and right after the lecture (the labs are not difficult). Take any class that Joe is teaching, he is the man.

This was an online LVL 12-week course. His lectures were very interesting, and he clearly enjoys talking about astronomy. He does announcements on Canvas quite frequently so be checking that to see what is upcoming. Overall he is such an enthusiastic professor and really cares about his students.

Amazing professor! The easiest class on my course-load by far. Went on his fair share of tangents on "Joe's Soapbox" but still made time to comfortably explain all material. Went above and beyond to work with the class on due dates and reviews to make sure we all felt ready for tests. Plenty of office hours and replied to emails quickly.

Super chill guy! Likes to talk, will often get off topic, but doesn't punish his class for that. He enjoys what he teaches and is passionate. Maybe had one homework assignment. Tests were online. Super easy class. Highly recommend!

Joe is awesome. I would definitely recommend taking any of his classes. He's so willing to work with his students and happy to help with whatever. I did not end up buying the textbook and made it work without. All you need with the textbook is the problems and you can find the most of them on the website. Take one of his classes!

Really easy class. He puts in canvas you can't work ahead but I did. the class started in august for me and was supposed to end in December, but I was done with everything by October. He has 2 homework assignments, but he basically puts all the questions on a doc, you answer them submit before end of semester. He is a really fast grader.

Easiest class I've taken. There are "pop quizzes" but he always tells you the day before so you can study. He gives easy to understand lectures, and his quizzes, homework, and exams are all easy as well. Exams are usually open-book too. He gives tons of notes and resources to help study. Good professor, easy class.

This class is reading intensive but the answers to the open book quizes are easy to find. You can take as long as you want to do the quizes too. The online class is at your pace, so I personally got his quizes done within 2 weeks so I can focus on the other classes. He gives extra credit to boost you letter grade at the end of the semester.

He's an amazing teacher; very knowledgeable, funny and he clearly cares about his students and what he teaches. I found the class a little challenging because science isn't really my thing. Tests were online, except the last one. I'd say he's a generous grader, and also very forgiving when students forgot to take exams/quizzes.

One of those guys you will never forget for all the right reasons. Material is straight forward the only difficult part is some of the problems but he explains it very well. Other than that the course isn't designed to be super challenging, and he never makes anything unnecessarily difficult. Just a hilarious and great guy overall.
