Sean is very helpful as well as entertaining, he will go out of his way to work with you

Easy to get A

He's a goood professor. Love him. Easy class. Easy A. Take him and the course is soo fun. You get to volunteer at aqarium of the pacific which i found to be really really fun. <3

Took his online class and it was more group work than anything. Don't think it was as effective. If you have a slacker in the group, you do 2x the work. You'll have to have as much time as a regular class or more to take this online. Hard to balance.

anyone who says sean is this killer teacher is an idiot. he does not demand you become oceanography majors, just appreciate the subject and use it to complete your general ed. just get to know him by email, show him you care, and you will learn a lot

There are so many chances for points and he drops assignment, quizzes and an exam. go to class and you will understand the exams. i got a 102 % in the class, so if you ned to borrow points let me know. oh, and by the way, he drops the bar for an A to 85%, what more can you ask for.do the quizzes!

i took his online class, very very easy, i never bought a book, but you gotto read the study guide, or the worksheet that he provided, unlimited times taking the quiz, but gotto write discussions pretty easy, i would take him again

Funny and nice guy very easy class, practically hands you an A or B. Lectures are sort of boring, but it doesn't matter because the class is SO EASY. Homework consists of 1st grader type worksheets, you can retake the quizzes over and over, tons of ex-credit, and open note/book tests.

super easy. lectures are kinda boring, but its mainly from the chapters. he has a dry humor most students don't get. he's actually a really nice guy and home work is in class. unlimited times you can retake quizes. open everything on exams. EASY.

i took the online course over the summer and it was SO EASY! take the quizzes unlimited times and all the test questions come from the quizzes. participation assignments are actually fun to do because you get to reply to other people's posts. there is no reason why you shouldn't get an A in this class. TAKE IT!!

One of the easiest classes in the world!! You do not even have to take any of the exams to get an A in the class. He offers so many extra credit field trips that this class is pretty much a guaranteed A. Fun class with lots of in class activities.

just have to take quize, midterm, final online...& relax no hard work, as it is an open book.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND ONLINE CLASS ONLY! QUIZZES ARE BASED ON ON-LINE PRACTICE QUIZZES. CAN EASILY GET AN "A" IF YOU JUST DO THE WRITING ASSIGNMENTS AND COMPLETE EXAMS. HE LETS YOU DROP ONE EXAM; IN FACT, I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO TAKE THE FINAL AND GOT AN A IN THE CLASS. TALKED TO OTHER STUDENTS--DON'T TAKE HIS ON CAMPUS CLASS THOUGH.

He definitely knows his stuff. His honors Oceanography class is heavily research-based, which is why I liked it. Although I must say, if your writing isn't that strong, it's going to be hell. His exams are very tough. You almost have to know Oceanography beforehand. If your writing is strong and you like research, by all means take him.

I took his online class. Every week you had to read an article and then answer 5 questions in detail(250 words or more) then you had to respond to 2 other students answers(100words or more). At times the article was long and horrible. No late assignments. TESTS ARE VERY,VERY HARD!!!for online class, you have to go on campus for 2 exams.

His online class is really really hard. It seems like the "timed" quizes are filled with questions that will take you the whole time limit to figure out the answer to one. The questions are ridiculously difficult and I am an A student. I could not see anyone getting higher than an C in the class.

Chamberlin makes it very interesting to learn about oceanography. I learned so much from his class and i am forever thankful!

very challenging in the beginning of the course, but dont give up, bcuz if you stick around til the end, and show that you put in the effort, you will receive a good grade.

Chose online Meteorology to fulfill science requirement, class included much more. Discovered and learned more than I ever expected. This Prof. is passionate about his subjects, uses text & web. Made class fun, online chats with celebs., extra credit opportunities. If you do the work, be positive, you'll do fine. Good Prof. & fair grading.

Took the online class, the assignments are easy and related to the enviornment. The tests were extremely difficult but you can take the tests 3 times (with some different and some of the same questions) and he drops a test grade. Reading the book is crucial, and take the flash quizzes he provides

I took this class online&it was great! I hadn't taken an online class b4. He provided all the tools necessary 4 me to succeed, such as practice quizzes. He posted interesting articles & videos & stimulated class participation. The textbook he co-authored, was 1 of the best tools. He allows 3 attempts 4 the tests. He was always available thru email.

He is very nice. Just beware of video projects, they are a little difficult. If someone in your group bales and they have the project on their computer and the disk is unreadable he will not let you reshoot. He is the co author of the book so he is tough when it comes to the tests, and midterm. Take advantage of the field trips.

Really cool guy, odd sense of humor, can be a bit... pernicious at times. But knows subject matter well, and is the coauthor of the req'd text book. Its EXTREMELY important that you read ALL extra readings and the book. He expects you to KNOW the material, he gives study guides for the tests, DOWNFALL: requires a clicker that'll never be used again

he's very helpful but the class is all about the clickers and group work. HARD TESTS & STUDY GUIDES.

This class is very interesting, sean knows what he is talking about!

Excellent & intense. YOU WILL LEARN A LOT!

I thought he was an amazing teacher. He's really into what he teaches. He wrote the book he uses for the class. I'm always happy to go to class. I find the material very easy, you use the book for activitys and do the tests online. I highly recommend him.

I took the online class and it wasn't difficult. There is definitely a lot of work though, but that's what I expected. At least one assignment and test every week, along with a PSA video requirement at the end of the semester. I would recommend it if you're interested in the subject. It's really easy if you do the reading.

oceanography (online) - academically challenging and robust class, but one that is ultimately designed to insure student success (if you do your share) - learned a ton -- had a blast -- invites your emails and answers your questions immediately -- extremely helpful, encyclopedic knowledge, and focused on student achievement - take him & learn lots!

Took oceanography online. The class structure was pretty challenging. Don't expect to memorize vocabulary and pass the tests. He makes sure you understand the concepts. If you put in the effort, you'll definitely be able to get an A and learn a lot. He's a very helpful teacher though; responds to emails almost instantaneously.

Took online class over summer. Intense, but super interesting. Take the quizzes as many times as it takes- you have unlimited tries, and then all of the information on the tests is from those quizzes. 3 tries for exams too. use the book website- do matching with the flashcards for all your vocab. Great teacher-passionate and like-able.

It is fun to learn Oceanography from him because he is very enthusiastic and passionate about the subject. Never have I ever taken a class where the Prof. was actually the author of the text!! He is amazing!

Omg, of all of the classes I've had (I'm 3 from degree), the online course was the most homework, busy work (an insane journal entry noting hours of observations in the wild outdoors???really?) to say the least, this class took 4x the time my others did - not difficult, I read and tested well, but the journal every other day is ridiculous!!

He is very honest when he says that his class is not easy. The tests are VERY difficult, make sure to use study guides. Ask him questions, he will help! Work hard and study and you will pass. Easy to listen to him lecture, he is very dedicated to what he does and his love of the ocean. Pretty cool guy to chat with.

Mr.Chamberlin was a great guy, he definitely cares about his students and is more than willing to answer any questions. Just pay attention, take your notes, and read. If you can do that you'll be just fine.

Great instructor and great class! I took this class online during summer and it was great! I learned a lot and got an easy A. I love the ocean so the required reading was very enjoyable for me. Some of the test questions are rather tricky, but I did not struggle. I highly recommend Professor Chamberlin! This course answered many of my own questions

I took his online class. The tests were quite simple, but the homework and projects were difficult and not always explained correctly.

Super fair guy. GET THE BOOK w/o it test will be impossible! All around fair professor. 5-6 small essay < 1 page, easy reply points, test are ALL TAKE HOME multiple choice with some fill in blank and word problems. Oceanography is boring but he loves it and tries to keep it relevant and interesting. Shows some cool videos for certain chapters

I am really surprised with the previous comments. In my class, he had the class laughing all the time in all the class meetings. This professor really loves teaching this class and he cares about his students' futures. Work hard and you will do great. It is an interesting subject and he's great at teaching it.

Took the honors version and it was literally the same thing as regular haha. Idk why he has such a low rating he is one of the best professors ive ever had. The tests were super easy...he posted the test online before he gave it in class LOL! Overall a great class and would totally recommend him to anybody.

Chamberlin is a very helpful teacher and really does his best to make sure that you are able to receive as many points as possible. Do the online quizzes and take good notes in class and you'll be fine. Midterm and final were super easy because it was the answers from the online quizzes. Overall, he is a great teacher.

Weekly quizzes, you can take them as many times as you want. Mid-term and final are on campus, he gives you a practice quiz which is literally an exact copy as the actual exam. I did not buy the book and finished with an 79% which is a B in his class because his grading scale is 85%+ A, 75%+ B, and so on. He is all about tech use in school. Cool

Greatest Teacher ever!!! If you want an easy "A". Quizzes you can retake! I wish all the Professor would work like him. He curves grades too!!!! I loved him , I laugh a lot and he is very interesting.Come on guys nothing can be easier than a class where you can retake quizzes. TAKE HIS CLASS and work hard. it is an Interesting class!!!

Very Easy course. I would have made an A vs. B had I not had my own internet issues with Blackboard. You can take every quiz and exam multiple times. My only qualm was that it took forever for him to update grades after each assignment. I thought it was easy considering I took the class during a 7 week summer session.

He's there to help his students. He definitely tries to get you to learn the material instead of memorizing it. You have one quiz a week that you can take a few times, highest grade counts. Exams aren't terribly difficult but they do require studying. Four essays in the semester but not difficult. Great teacher.

This was actually one of my favorite classes this semester. In the beginning of the semester you choose a partner and they become your quiz buddy. This was very helpful to me and my partner we balanced each other out . He does do most of his lecturing on videos that he posts along with lecture notes which are awesome. There is a lot of work .

Chamberlin offers replacement assignments for ones that you didn't do so well on. You have partner quizzes every week so pick your partner carefully. Make a study group with the class, it'll help. Make sure to take a lot of notes! 1 midterm and 1 cumulative final! Do not take if you have a heavy load but it is possible to still get an A. My goal!

He literally has everything he expects in his syllabus. If you do what he tells you, you will get the grade you deserve. He has office hours and replies to email super fast. He loves the subject he teaches and makes lecture fun. I am terrible at math and was afraid before taking this class (I placed in Math 40) but I went to the SI and it helped.

All about consistency. You have to make sure you're always reading the notes and the key to the OL class is WATCH EVERYTHING! Watch his Youtube stuff because he has answers in those lectures. He grades on a curve, and he expects pretty deep thinking for his class, which isn't that fun for Oceanography. He responds quick tho, but it wasn't an easy A

He makes it very easy to get a good grade in the class. If you take the time to complete the practice quizzes, then you will get a good grade on the exams. The entire grade is based on the exams. You get to drop your low test score, and A starts at 85%, not 90%. If that wasnt easy enough, you can get up to 50 points extra credit.

Very clear & upfront about what he expects from you to pass. Syllabus is very well put together. Summer course was 1midterm & 1final. Anytime I was lost on the material I would email him. He responds immediately and always wants to make sure you understand. Cares and wants students to do well in life and during their educational journey! Loved him!

Excellent professor. He mixes humor with learning to help engage his students. He is very knowledgeable about Oceanography, and he is a very good person from what I know.

Professor Chamberlin , had a clear grading criteria and did a good job at making the subject important! Emailing him is kind of pointless for the online class because everything is on the syllabus and self explanatory make sure if you are taking an online class you know note taking is key! Make sure to watch his YouTube videos !!

I was referred to take Professor Chamberlin's oceanography class by a friend, and I'm happy that I did. He's extremely knowledgeable, articulate/highly intelligent, funny as heck, cares abut the environment, and actually wants his students to learn (and hopefully - begin a career in oceanography). Super easy class if you follow instructions.

I took this class online and it was a breeze. Easy fulfillment of a science requirement and learned a lot about the environment. He assigns quizzes due every week but you can take them as much as you need or want. A midterm and final that is offered to take twice. I would definitely recommend this class if you know how to take online courses.

I took this class online and it was one of the better online courses. You have unlimted quiz attempts and can always go back to old quizzes. The lecture slides and videos are pretty straightforward.

He is the best prof I took this semester. You need to pay attention in his class but as long as you do that, study and take the online quizzes then you will definitely get an A. Hes kind and will help if asked. He cares so much about the climate and inspired me to care for it too. Im happy I took his class.

Great Prof. great class. Quizzes can be repeated until you get the grade you want. Minimal homework and discussion questions, they are pretty easy and strait forward. 4 exams which you can take twice. All around a great class, you have no excuse to fail as long as you put in a little effort.

Professor Chamberlin is passionate about the subject and he's a pretty funny and interesting guy. He's got a cool, laid back personality. All the assignments and exams are online so missing class isn't a big deal, which is nice. Just dont wait until the day its due to do all of it. If you put in a little work, its an easy A.

To be honest I did not know what to expect, but I'm glad I took this class with Professor Sean. He is Amazing! He's really intelligent, funny and makes this class interesting. I definitely came out of this class more informed and ready to find ways to help the environment. I would take this class again.

Best. Professor. EVER. Super easy and straight forward. He makes science relatable and super chill! 10/10

I took this class for credit, and ended up loving it.The discussions were my only complaint, as some were long. Weekly quizzes and a test but you have plenty of time to complete them. He was nice and helpful with any questions I had. He also responded quickly to emails. Highly recommend taking this course. I would take another course with him.

Professor Chamberlin's class was very easy. There is a required book, however I got an A without it, most of it doesn't line up with the book very well. Just read the slides and the videos provided and you should be fine. There are many extra credit opportunities, if you go above and beyond in your DB he might give ec as well. He also drops asgmts.

This professor is amazing, For the course, there's Discussion post, Exams, and quizzes, but for the Discussion there is 8 in total but the lowest 3 is dropped, for the quizzes there are 30 in total, but the lowest 15 will be dropped, and the Exams, there are 8 in total, but the lowest 2 will be dropped from the final grade

I am really happy that I selected Professor Sean for my weather and climate course. He is an excellent teacher. He does a great job explaining the assignments. he allows plenty of time for quizzes and tests. The textbook will be required. There are tests, quizzes, and discussions throughout the semester. he also offers a lot of extra credit.

Took his oceanography class, he was a great professor. Discussion posts (some were long but gave detailed rubrics), quizzes (weekly but can take them however many times you want), and exams. Gave extra credit opportunities and responded somewhat fast to emails. This was an easy class and he loves detailed discussion posts/responses. 10/10 class!

I took this course during the winter session, and I really enjoyed it. Professor Sean provides a clear understanding of his grading scale. Just do the work and you should get an A.

Time consuming class but easy to get a good grade if you put the work into it. I took the class online and it's really nice that he allowed unlimited attempts on quizzes and no timer. Projects are fun and easy as well.

super nice but not a blow off class

I truly don't understand why Professor Sean doesn't have all 5's. This course was so interesting because he made it that way. Not only did we learn about the scientific aspect of everything oceanography, we also explored career opportunities. He made everything so easily understandable. Amazing course. I would take this teacher for every class.

Professor Chamberlin's ESC105 class is a great option for fulfilling a science requirement. With flexible quizzes, minimal homework, and helpful lecture materials, the course is manageable. I found Unstuckstudy to be a useful study tool alongside the provided resources.

Lots of quizzes and exams and discussion posts, he says it himself as long as he sees you trying he will pass you. Fully online and it's a very easy class he provides almost everything you need to pass. A lot of reading that's forsure but very easy A class just make sure your on top of the assignments

The readings, discussion posts, and documentaries are all very interesting and engaging. While it may be a lot of work, the work itself isn't too difficult and there are many opportunities to pass. The only reason you might not like this class is if you do not like putting in work or effort. The professor leaves really nice responses and is fair!

Extremely caring and understanding professor that truly wants the best for his students. I had no trouble with this class and actually had a lot of fun! Professor Sean sets up his canvas for his students to succeed and provides plentiful extra credit opportunities; he also drops some assignments. Would definitely take this professor again!

This class was great!! SO EASY. Professor Chamberlain cares about students well being 100%. He gives a lot of quizes and 5 exams but he drops like the worst grades for a couple quizes and 1 exam. All modules are open all semester so you can complete work at your own pace. Only a few deadlines for work and HW was just watching short videos.
