Get over that it is a 1 unit class. All labs are 1 unit. I had a bad teacher for the regular class at another school and would not passed but for what I learned from this professor. Field trips are cool and you save $$ because he supplies everything.

A little effort and you will do OK. Most entertaining teacher I had this semester. Tests are from the class work, multiple choice and fill in. Learned a lot.

I am a geog. major and this teacher is really smart and makes the subject interesting. The lab is hands on and field trips show how the subject is practical. Would take again . . . Also I did not have to buy a book for this class.

I liked the way he taught the course by 1st explaining the lab, then helping you do the lab, and then giving you the answers the next class. Tests were directly from the labs. He is also a straight forward nice guy.

Such an awesome class; Had take it to graduate but now that its over I changed my major to geography cause I liked it so much. Tests are OK if you study the labs and attend the trips.

ONE OF THE COOLEST EASY GOING TEACHERS AT GCC. STUDY THE LABS FOR THE TESTS AND ITS A BREEZE. NO NEED TO WASTE MONEY ON A TEXT AS HE GIVES YOU HANDOUTS.

Really enjoyed the class and trips. Prof is low key and easy to learn from. Tests require study but if you do well on the lab exercises than you can ace the tests.

If you're not geography majors I HIGHLY reccomend taking someone else. There's TOO much work involved for just this ONE unit class. Half of the class failed while the other half passed with C's and literally 2 b's. You have been warned.

Wonderful professor who really goes out of his way to help and make sure you get it. Although you have to work to get a good grade it is worth it. After I finished the class I understood for the 1st time how geography affects everything.

My old review hasn't been removed. Did he PAY them to remove it? It looks like the professor is either rating himself or asking the ones that passed to rate him up. Listen up, the guy does not care about the students or whether or not they will pass his class. FAR too much work involved for this useless class. Take Leaver or Duret. You're welcome.
