Is very enthusiastic. Not hung up on the syllabus. Highly recomended. Easy A if you show up to class and pay attention. However, need to be in class all the time because the quizes and exams come straight from his lectures.

Cute older man man with cute accent (don't worry, he's easy to understand). Attendance is pretty important in order to not miss a quiz. He gives out the essay questions before each test, and gives you an option of which ones to write. He's passionate and made the class more interesting.

Attendance is definitely important in this class, with many quizzes..almost one for every class meeting. Very interesting lectures, and clear outlines of what will be on the exams. Pretty easy if you take lots of notes. Easy to contact outside of class, and very helpful. Love the English accent!

Attendence is highly good to have in his class. He gives you the exact essay questions that will be on the test. His class was pretty easy. I liked his lectures and it was interesting.

Really smart teacher, and interesting. Didn't need the book.

good teacher explains well, not to much work, tests are good

He's the bomb. I really think he might know everything.

Good teacher that knows a lot. Puts out a lot of info each week and has a huge test every few weeks. Not easy, but not too hard.

very old and wise guy. one of the best teacher i had. i took two of his class at the same time and did really well on both of them. very smart and reasonable. recomended for any science class that you need

I really enjoyed this class. You learn so much and it really changes what you think of the environment and earth. Very informative and with some effort you can get an A, I did. I am glad I took Mr.Hancock, he is passionate about what he teaches. Take this class, you wont regret it!

One of my favorite teachers! If you are a good note-taker you wont even have to read the chapter. He is very detailed and precise, on what will be on the tests. He offers a lot of extra points if you do more than what is expected of you. Personality wise, someone you can really appriciate and respect.

Hes very smart and the class is fun, you barely read the textbook, just pay attention and take notes,duh!

okay unless you want to study hard before a test and go to class every single day then dont take this teacher. he is very nice but his tests are hard and u have to show up every day because if u miss a day you fall behind! take another teacher...

Pretty cool, ive taken his environmental and his phys geo and the environmental is wayyyy better. Hes kinda arrogant and egotistic so be prepared to get made fun of sort of if you dont answer right to his questions in lecture. Slightly awkward when he lectures and always gives quizzes about every other class so reread your notes very well good luck

Just started but seems to be helpful and goes at pace of class. He seems very nice and informative.

lots of extra credit. i thought i was going to get a D but with extra credit from attendance, i got a B. whil the subject is interesting, it can be a little dry at times. he goes at a slower pace, which i don't like but others did.

I struggled because it is not a subject that interests me. Bonus points for attendence and extra credit at end of semester. Take notes and listen carefully.

Two words....CAKE WALK! No need to buy the textbook. Quizzes and test are based on his lectures. Take good notes and review the day before a test. Be on time because he gives a lot of pop quizzes at the start of class. If you have perfect attendance he'll raise your grade by 10% and there's unlimited extra credit. Interesting lectures.

GREAT TEACHER! MAKE SURE YOU TAKE NOTES FROM HIS LECTURES. DO NOT NEED THE BOOK. TESTS ARE BASED ON THE POP QUIZ'S.

I took Mr. Hancock for Environmental Science, and it was much harder than I expected it to be, but also more informative. We covered so many subjects related to all types of sciences. His grading was fair; he gives ya extra credit if you show you know what you're talking about. He prepared me for chemistry better than any other science class did.

I LOVED this class. He is a super professional, clear, concise man and always available if you need help. Notes and readings are a must. He gives you some questions to each test and offers extra credit. Attend class, read/study and you should do very well. You will learn so much from this man!

real easy, i learned a lot, if your looking for a easy science credit go for environmental science

To the nut jobs who failed or withdrew out of the class, shame on you. One of the easiest teachers who offers endless extra credit, in reality its not impossible to achieve an A. Overall class semi boring, but if you have ANY background in science this class will be a breeze. Quizzes are predictable, roughly every 3 class meetings. good luck!

This man is a great teacher with a lot of passion and knowledge on the subject; if you did not understand him or do well in his class, then you are not fit for college-level work in the least, and I find it disgusting that a gentleman like Professor Hancock would be stuck teaching slackers like you with no intent on self-betterment.

Great teacher. Taking notes in this class is extremely important. Attendance is also mandatory, you lose points after a certain amount of missing days. I also found it helpful to attend the SI session for this class, just because the professor gives out so much information it is helpful to have that reinforcement. Also be aware of pop quizzes.

Excellent instructor! Easy quizzes. The SI course is recommended if you are struggling. It was VERY helpful for the exams. Exams are EASY, beacause the essay questions are given beforehand. Overall: Great teacher/ class.

LOVE his class! If you want to get an A, the only thing that you must absolutely do is come to class every single day for his lecture. ALL the exams are from his notes. I didn't even read the book and I got an A+. But I went to class EVERY DAY because I've been told by many that that was the key to success in his class! Absolutely recommend him!!

Great teacher one of the better professors I've had at LBCC. He is very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. Test are based off the lecture so attendance is the key to success. Overall though he's a excellent teacher and really enjoyed the class, would highly recommend him to anyone.

Excellent professor. I highly recommend! He is fair and reasonable. SI is a must, all it is, is extra help like a giant study group! Quizes at the beginning of class make attendance very important. Actually teaches, and is always availabe for questions and SI is available if you cant get to him. So many chances to get an "A"!!

Good teacher, but learned almost nothing about environmental science, all chemistry and physics. It's interesting, but I was disappointed because I took the class to learn about environmental science.

I never liked physical geography... until i met this guy. HE IS AWESOME!!Everything or about everything is based on notes. However, he talks a bit fast so if u can't write fast then u might not keep up. He is environmental friendly guy which made the class discussion very interesting.

I thought this class was going to be hard when he mentioned that we were gonna have a term paper, but pulled through and got a B on it, you will have to somewhat research your topic, pick an easy one! His tests are somewhat easy his tests are based PURELY on what he talks about in class,txtbook, i never used it, I relied only on his lectures

Prof. Hancock is awesome! He's a great teacher & you can tell he's passionate about his work. Attendance is mandatory for your pop quizzes & tests are straight from lecture. In fact, I never touched the book! He let's you record his lectures so take advantage of that & attend SI!! Term paper is easy & boosted my final grade to a B in class!

He is a good professor. The lectures are based on the book, so with that said don't buy the book. Just show up to class and take good notes and you will do just fine. Research paper due at the end of the semester. I enjoyed his class.

He was very difficult! or rather the material. You have to make sure you read the textbook thoroughly and understand each process and concept. He gives essay questions on his exams that help boost your grades so make sure to prepare for those. He is clearly passionate about geography & shows it. Make sure to take good notes and draw out diagrams.

Great guy. He is very knowledgable and open for discussion. The test are based pretty much on lecture so pay attention! Didnt use the book very much so get the cheapest book you can find. He also gives a ton of extra credit sp there is no reason to not pass!

He's a great guy! I love his lectures, it might be better to record them. He talks throughout the whole period but he makes it interesting like he's telling you about the issues and such. We didn't use the textbook as much, but it's still helpful to have it. He gives tons of extra credit and if you attend all classes you get 10 points :)

One of the best proffesors i ever took. He will do anything you need to pass, you just have to care. You feel his passion for the subjec the moment you walk through the door. He keeps the lecture intresting by telling stories related to the facts you learnt/are learning. Highly recommended. Attendance is a must though(aside from that he is easy)

Hancock is a tough professor, but he is a great one. You can really see his passion for the subject. He actually inspired me to change my major. He gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit. DO NOT MISS CLASS. I had to use the book once during the semester, all tests/quizzes are 100% based upon his lectures. 4 exams and a term paper.

You have to write down basically everything that he says to pass the tests and quizzes. Taking good notes will get you an A. Just come to class, because if you miss a day, you miss information. Plus, he gives quizzes the first 10 minutes of class, so if you're tardy you have less time or you miss it altogether. 1 term paper, many quizzes, 4 tests.

You must take note on his lecture. He talks a lot in class. All pop quizzes and exams are directly taken from his lecture. No textbook . If you take a good note, you will pass the class. Recommended to record his lecture, go back home and take note from the record.

By far the most intelligible professor I've encountered at this school. I looked through other reviews and yes, his lectures are long, but it's because he is passionate about the subject. If you go to school for education and inspiration, take any one the courses he teaches. You'll pass as long as you listen : ) Good luck!

I really enjoyed his lectures. He really knows what he is talking about and after a semester taking his class, I have gained a huge understanding and liking to Science. He makes the subject easy to understand if you pay attention in class.

Environmental science is my major so I absolutely loved this class. I was probably the only person awake during lectures. He doesn't use powerpoints so you really have to pay attention to what he says. Tests and quizzes strictly from lectures.

A super cool guy who knows his stuff about all types of science. His lectures are interesting if you like environmental science/ how the world works, if you don't, don't complain about the class. He is straight to the point, asks for class participation, & explains assignments in detail which makes him an above average community college professor.

If i had the chance to take him again I would instantly. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the subjects he teaches and is passionate about them too. His quizzes and tests are centered around his lectures so pay attention and you'll do great. Offers good extra credit, and even supplies you with the book for the course. Top 10 professors in my 5yrs

Take prof Hancock if you're okay with doing work on your own. He expects students to be independent and doesn't wait if you're behind. Lecture heavy, and I really recommend taking notes, you'll need it. His lectures are long, but manages to make most of them interesting.

all lectures, so def take notes on everything. he's a solid professor who knows his stuff. dont expect to get by without paying attention though, def need to pay attention to lessons and study information he tells you. this semester was jumbled bc of corona, so he had to make vids for all his lectures but pulled through for us. thx prof hancock!

this class had to be taken online due to the coronavirus so the transition took some getting use to for students as well as professors like professor hancock, but his class is pretty much based on lectures, there are pop quizzes and exams and one paper, as you pay attention and do your work you will get a good grade, i would take his class again

Great teacher. The core of the class is the 3-4 12 minute lecture videos he gives every week, and the quiz he gives at the end of the week is entirely based on those lecture videos. The Exams were even easier. I got A's on every exam and all I did to prepare was rewatch the lectures that he told us the Exam was going to be about.

Great teacher. He gives lecture videos every week, and the quiz he gives at the end of the week is entirely based on those lecture videos. The Exams were easier. I got B's on every exam.

Nigel Hancock is by far my favorite lecturer. His lectures help you to remember the info for the quizzes and exams. He is so very educated and knowledgable. I learned more in his class than any other. This class changed my perspective on so much. I will take all of this information with me for my life and my future. This class should be Mandatory!

Excellent lecturer who has put a lot of effort into his online course. There were weekly quizzes, four exams, a presentation, and an extra credit paper. Every exam also had extra credit. A good grade required a little more work than most community college courses. There were many hours of lectures to watch, but they are very interesting.
