Scott provided us with plenty of materials to use throughout the semester. You are given plenty of time to prepare for quizzes and turn in labs. Not hard if you simply turn them in on time and follow directions. PLENTY of opportunity to make up points, if needed. Excellent instructor. Always answered all questions!

I was impressed with his genuine concern for his students. Always wanting to do what is best for everyone. I wish I had just 10 or 15 more minutes to finish each quiz on Friday's. He really believes in the topic of his classes. I believe I will be thinking more GREEN because of this class. Thank you Scott

He seems to enjoy helping his students and does a great job of relating to them. Once in a while he has a bogus question on a quiz; but he will give credit for the question if you point out the error. Be aware, he love music and likes to relate everything to 60's & 70's music!!

This was a hard class to learn through the internet. The labs were omewhat ahrd to do. A little more quideance on some of the labs would have been nice, especially since I had no real experience in reading maps and some of the labs were harder for me. Time scheduled for class (extra credit) was not very convenient and stayed on the same nights.

This was a very easy class and it was online and included the labs. The tests were very easy if you read the study guide. The professor will work with you on making up tests, etc. My only complaint was that the virtual class/extra credit meetings were always on the same nights, so if that night was bad for you, you would NEVER be able to attend.

He gives good feedback on everything and is very flexible. Each week generally consists of reading the chapter, doing a discussion board post (just one response and one reply to a peer- no word requirements), and a lab (think more assignment than lab report). One paper is due at the end of the semester (researching a climate issue). Good professor!
