very difficult to understand and the work is a pain. very unhelpful and the tests are nitpicking.

Didn't always help with problems people had, didn't give out clear instructions to assignments.

Don't take his class for your sake.

Absolute laziest teacher ever given the title of teacher. Assigns group projects and has group presentations weekly. Too much group work, not enough grading of an individual basis. NEVER and I repeat NEVER updates grades. Class just ended and I dont know my grade. When asked if he'd update our grades he'd act offended. LAZIEST TEACHER EVER!!!

If there's only one teacher on earth who is saved by his TA its this guy. He explains nothing that you actually need to know without you riddling him with questions, and he refuses to give any kind of specifics on what he wants from his students. Don't touch this class with a 10 foot pole if you can avoid it. Field trip was waste of time.

Unclear, ignored students ?'s, had to really bug him to get any answer. Answered few emails, leaving students lost, bad for a class mtg 1 day a wk. Late with assigning all course work. By quarters end, it seemed like students knew more than he did about the subject & GIS software operation thru self motivated problem solving & student comradery.

Class started at 8 am. he was late almost every day of the quarter. I am not joking or exaggerating. I got an A because the class was so easy. he is a nice enough guy but a terrible teacher. if i didnt get such a good grade i would be demanding a refund from the school.

You could see more clearly through a brick as opposed to seeing through this mans instructions. Asking questions is a one way ticket down the rabbit hole, and there are no answers at the bottom. Easy busy work, terrible project direction and instructions.

Unclear directions, hard to understand assignments

Didnt explain assignments thoroughly

In all honesty you could show up for a grand total of 15 days in the quarter and still get >100% in the class. One day per week there is a one page paper due with an accompanying map. Good luck on the first one because he doesn't tell you what he's expecting. There is one group project/presentation due.

Easy and boring class. Long weekly assignments (mult. choice) that are busy work (waste your time) and hardly relate. Several extra credit points are available in the HW per week. Textbook only required because the HW is done through there. Lectures are boring and most students either didn't show up or work on HW. No studying required for an A+.

This class was very hard. Kerry is a nice guy, but a terrible teacher. All of his instructions are unclear. The projects are just busy work. Almost all of the assignments are group projects. It is essentially the students teaching the students and Kerry is just along for the ride. This class was extremely frustrating, would not recommend.

Kerry is the single most unprofessional professor I have ever encountered. Not only was he late every single day except one this quarter, but there is a complete lack of organization. Assignment due dates are constantly contradicted between his syllabus, canvas, and what is discussed in class. He also has zero respect for his students. DONT TAKE!

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! He is very unclear with instructions, and when you try to get him to clarify he doesn't. There are two finals and for one he didn't put clear instructions. I emailed him twice and received no response. The field trip was ridiculous. Took us to a place that had quicksand in the dark. Just DON'T! I repeat..... just DON'T!!!!!!

unclear assignment descriptions out of date resources and textbook. will change assignment dates, making it look like you were late to submit little feedback hard to find assignments and readings all links to required readings are expired the majority of the time you spend on the class is searching for the assignments or correct link. not worth it

The course is centered around group papers and an obsolete pre-built online course by Pearson. The online course describes events that happened many years ago such as the completion of the Three Gorges Dam as if they were far off future events. Nothing was graded until the 8th week of the quarter and a surprise second final was issued last minute

Worst prof. I have ever had. Didn't start grading assignments until halfway through the quarter. Assigns a ridiculous amount of work, and EVERYTHING is group projects. Expect little to no instruction from him, assignment instructions are incredibly confusing. You WILL be teaching yourself because Kerry won't be doing a thing.

He didn't start grading assignments until 5 weeks into the class. He shut down the class right after the final was due on the 16th, so I couldn't do any of the surveys he set to be due the 17th. Every single assignment located in canvas is a group project. There are hidden quizzes in MyLab and Mastering, I didn't find them until a couple weeks in.

Do not take this class! Professor Lyste doesn't check his email often, never answered questions I asked him (or made it more confusing), no feedback was given for anything, and takes FOREVER to put things in the gradebook. Nothing is consistent in the class, and there were 10 quizzes that popped up out of nowhere he didn't mention anything about :(

This professor was also my councilor. I was a running start student so when it came time to apply for graduation I needed some help filling out the application and paper work and I emailed him many times and all he would say is look on star fish and I should be able to do it myself.

Didnt put due dates on assignments, didnt have them on the calendar or assignment page. Had to go on a wild chase to find them after realizing I missed three weeks worth of projects. Grades arent shown in canvas, he disabled it. The Pearson website is used religiously and is not helpful and hard to use, and 100 dollars. Doesnt respond to emails

You have group projects in an online class. Mr. Lyste hasn't even graded the project from week 2 and the quarter is almost over. He gives you no feedback and makes you buy a website for $120 dollars just because. We didn't even use the text book. The class was pretty easy but don't expect to know your grade until the very end of the quarter.

If you want to learn anything about geography do not take this class. The professor does not communicate, he posts a few announcements at the beginning of the quarter but after that you don't hear from him at all, this includes grading which he doesn't do until the end of the quarter. Every assignment he posts is confusing and feels like busy work.

This class has been completely stressful. One of the biggest things that I did not like was how some of the due dates were due earlier than the module even began, meaning if I was on module 2, an assignment for module 3 would be due the same week while the focus is on module 2. As well as its heavy on group participation, even the final.

Avoid! All assignments except homework were group papers. Midterm was a group midterm in which a group discussion is expected, in order to come to a group consensus on each question. Avoid at almost all cost!! Zero interaction, no lectures, very little actual instruction. AVOID AVOID AVOID

this teachers instructions for group assignments are so confusing. he never answers his emails, he doesn't help give clear instructions, you don't know your grade all quarter, so you don't know if yoy pass till it's too late. do not take this class.

Very difficult. I had to pay $100 just to access the material outside of the college tuition. Emails aren't very helpful as he doesn't check it regularly and when he does they are very short unhelpful emails. Everything is a group project, grades aren't updated regularly, due dates are hard to find. He doesn't really teach, just lets Pearson do it.
