Professor Dorn is the best professor I've had for an online class. There are no deadlines throughout the class so it's easy to get behind but as long as you submit all the required labs, assignments, quizzes, you will get a good grade. Professor Dorn really cares about you succeeding. I met with him twice to help me better understand the course.

Professor Dorn was an engaging lecturer and a great teacher. I still remember most of the concepts I learned in his class, which is more than I can say for many of my other classes. You won't regret taking this class--its interesting and easy to get a good grade if you do the work. It will change the way you look at a landscape.

One of the best professors I have ever had. Often times you get professors that care more about their title then teaching, luckily Professor Dorn is not one of those. He really cares for you to learn the material. The biggest thing for me was he realizes people have other classes and work, so he is considerate of this, which is huge in my book.

I'm a Junior but a new student to Geography and I absolutely loved this class. Lectures were SUPER interesting. All our readings were available to us online. Quizzes were easy if you watched the lectures. He walks you through the first lab. Drops lowest grades. AWESOME class. Anyone who says otherwise has yet to take an actual difficult class.

The class is composed of 10 quizzes and 1 project. No specific due dates on either of these, all due once the class ends. The quiz answers are found in the lecture videos given. This is worth 80 percent of your grade. The project is 20 percent and he gives you a template that you can just fill out. Very fun and easy I learned a lot.

Don't fret because this is a half-semester class! You can easily finish this class in a week or less. Although there are 34 quizzes, you don't need to complete all of them to achieve the grade you want. Use the lab practical points to offset your low quiz average. You can earn up to 60 lab practical points, 20 more than the "required" amount of 40.

This class is a breeze. It is VERY time consuming, however, it's not that difficult. If you wanted to, you could finish the class in a single day. Really don't HAVE to watch all of the movies if you know how to use Google. I didn't watch a single one and got and A+. The extra credit is worth doing too.

I don't understand how you couldn't get an A+ in this class honestly. He grades on a points scale rather than a percentage scale, so even if you kinda mess up a test it doesn't really matter too much. Watch the lecture videos, skim through the readings, and watch the movies and you'll easily get an A. I didn't even watch all the movies...

Professor Dorn is the easiest professor Ive ever taken, and PUP200 is probably a big reason why. PUP200 is a class in which you watch like 13 movies and take quizzes on them. Its all at your own pace, and theres extra credit available so watching some movies and watching some lecture videos will likely get you an easy A+.

Great class! Tests are based on each movie, its lecture, and reading. The scavenger hunts are super easy and actually pretty cool. Your grade depends on how many points you get (ex. 148-159 is an A, 160+ is an A+) making it very manageable to get a good grade in the class. Definitely a GPA booster.

Grading is based on how much you get right overall and wrong answers won't count against you. There's quizzes you could get around 180 points and you need 160 to get an A+ so once you get to 160 points overall (regardless of how many you missed) you're done. Rarely actually talked to the professor though and never any of the other students

Such a sweet professor and cares about his students. His grading system is point-based, so you just have to accumulate 120 points by doing assignments/quizzes to get an A+. I took the class session A for my SCIT credit and finished getting an A+ in like 2 weeks. Best SCIT to take for an easy A+!!

Super easy grading! No percentages, just get points. I got an A+ and could have stopped doing the work half way through since grades don't go down. Love this prof so much. I work 3 jobs, I don't have time to do work every week and for things to open every week. Everything avail at beginning and due at end. An angel in the form of man

Very easy class. Professor was super nice. Recommended for general requirements. There are no exams, only quizzes. A lot of reading that might take some time but other than that no pressure. The only deadline is when the class ends officially.

Great class! I enjoyed the material and Professor Dorn was really respectful of out time and effort. Class is points based, so you don't get punished for wrong answers. ONE in-depth essay requirement instead of an exam is a win for me! Definitely recommend.

He is a great professor. His class is stress-free and he just wants you to take time to learn without having to worry about your grade. It is an easy class and I would take it over again.

I'd definitely have Professor Dorn again for any future classes. His grading system is awesome as it's not your traditional % grading scale. You get points as you watch movies and do extra credit. If you receive at least 160 points and if you attempt either the movie essay or synthesis essay you get an A+. There are tons of points available!

Prof Dorn is the best! I've never liked science, but he makes GPH super easy and stress-free. He doesn't use a typical % grading scale-- you only gain points and never lose them. There are tons of assignments, so if you put in a little effort, getting an A+ is basically guaranteed.

This was one of my favorite classes; he is very kind and will help you if you need it. There is so much extra credit that you get to basically choose your grade. He uses a new grade system where your grade can only go up, never down! He knows the topics well and makes sure no student is left behind.

Super easy class to take, just make sure you play the interactive game at the end of the course. The game is kind of difficult to get the hang of and does cost money but just watch his videos for help.

10 days left in the Session: I thought I was going to fail because I didn't have enough points. I contacted him for withdrawal options. He told me that if I did the work, I could get an A+. That ACTUALLY happened, to my own surprise. I also had the lab with Dorn and got an A+ in 10 days. Class is easy, and it counts for SCIT. $55 Software

This class was awesome. Seriously, if you are thinking about taking this class for your SCIT credit, DO IT. Your grade is completely based on points, and he makes it very easy to get an A+. Although it can feel like a lot of quizzes, you could finish them all in a few weeks, no stress. The video game was easy to understand and not too difficult.

Such an easy A. Not a traditional grading scale so assignments can only boost your grade, not count against it. Lots of assignments are provided (not as many as GPH 111 though) so you have many opportunities to get your grade up to where you want it. Definitely recommend taking this class.

Best science class ever it was so simple. Yes there can be a lot of quizzes, but everything was due at the end of class, so it was completely self-paced and it was great. He is a very kind professor who you can tell is very passionate about this topic and answers emails very quick. Highly recommend.
