Good teacher . . .but have you seen the clown from the movie It? Enough said!

Professor Lee is a genious. He is clear, concise, his diagrams are terrifc and he's the most helpful Prof I've ever had. He has a great sense of humor and is willing to help his students. When you leave his class, you'll know ocean.

Extremely fair, well planned and presented lectures, information coincides with textbook, refers to interesting current events that relate to subject and clarify understanding.

Detailed and clear lectures. Just pay attention and its an easy class.

He is a very smart individual. TAKE GOOD NOTES!!! His lab class is really easy too. SC LEE is the man!!!

Prof Lee is great! He is the best Prof I've ever had - he gives great lecture and you will really learn ocean = he obviously loves what he does!

He works it!

i love this class! prof Lee is really energetic and makes the lecture very clear and fun. i hate science- but love this class-take it for sure!!

Class was great. Very easy and fun. 3 tests, one was a final. Flashcards allowed during test so you dont even have to come to class unless you learn more by taking notes.

He's a funny teacher, explains the material well, and loves the ocean. He's animated with his lectures and the tests are not hard at all. Take notes, fill out the questions on his pre-test study guide, skim through the book and you will get an A. Take it!

A dynamic teacher. Out of all the science classes I've taken, this is the only one I like. He's funny and engaging. The tests aren't hard; study the list of questions-similar to those on the test. Take advantage of the 4x6 for the test. Take this one!

Overall a good teacher, i Recommend. His faults? Boring lectures that go on throughout the whole class period. If you listen and dont fall asleep then you will learn a great deal. Tests are harder than I thought but he gives a good review paper.

take him during summer, he lets u have a note card for tests- u cant help but get an a if u get a note card

He seems to be a nice man. Well, until you get ur results from your test & then you hate him. Out of 50 people only 10 get C's and up. that's horrible. His tests are impossible. He is smart & you learn in class, but hard tests

4x6 note card helps soooo much. Easy test. Very interesting. Love the hair cut does the outkast hair shaking thing. LOL. Uses a sign in sheet. A lot of people in my class didnt do well but i thought he was easy.

Professor Lee is one of the best teachers at Pierce. He is so clear and outlines everything. Why are you guys complaining? He lets you use a 4x6 notecard for every test and gives study questions. Even if i tried, I couldn't get less than an 85 on the tests. TAKE THIS CLASS!

very passionate about subject.clearly explains everything on test.If u go over the study sheet you will do great.He lets u use a 4x5 card on test.I’ve been getting perfect scores on the tests and you can too.The only problem is the lectures are long and boring but if u can stay awake you’ll Ace it.

Very clear and through, and very knowlegable, would take again. Tests are only hard if you dont study, dont be afraid to ask questions. lets you have a notcard for the test. extra credit homework, but other than that only tests.

Generous teacher with mediocre difficulty. he lets you have a notecard for his tests which consist of about 60 - 90 questions.he knows his oceanography material and is willing to answer questions that puzzle students.gives a study guide 1 week before test, but its a lot of material to cover.

Very good class. I enjoyed taking it. He is a very good teacher. Class is easy if you're not lazy and willing to do a little bit of studying. I got an A on every single test because I studied off the study guides he gives. They're almost exactly the same as his tests. Awesome teacher very respectful

He is adorable...he looks like Sam the Eagle from the Muppets... i like the head shake thing haha.. no but he is a good teacher, and I enjoyed his class

He is sweet and makes it interesting, although it already is. Fair grader, not many tests and interesting lectures...what more to ask?

very nice guy... interesting class, lots of opportunities to do extra credit assignments... go over the book very well, and the study guides, and you'll be fine

Great teacher! Well prepared lectures and gives a study guide. Cares about his students. Knows so much. Take good notes and you will do fine.

Nice guy

I took him for Fall 05 and I think he is such a great teacher. He really cares about his students and gives really clear lectures that are very relavent to the material that is on the test. Oceanography isnt the easiest subject but he really helps you understand so that you can do well.

Knows his material, gives great notes, you get to use a page of notes on your exams. difficult tests, so take notes well, helpful when you need him.

What a great teacher! His lectures are very interesting and dynamic. He really knows the subject. He talks about oceanography specific to California also. He lets you use an entire page of notes for the exams.

if you dont mind lectures then he is your teacher, he knows what he teaches and i find i learn something new everyday.

Very nice guy. always willing to help. very clear and passonate, mkaes it very intresting. test hard but you get a cheat sheet,if you do that its easy to get an A. if you go to the lectures and take good notes you dont have to read much of the book. he gives some extra credit too.

He is a great teacher! Very clear and knows his stuff! He really goes the extra length to make sure you understand everything. He makes a subject thats not interesting, interesting.

all he does is lecture if that is what you like, but it's a really interesting class. there are only three tests and thats it but if you study you will do well. makes some corny jokes sometimes, but overall a pretty cool guy.

teaches about the ocean for an hr and a half with no stopping, nice guy but very boring subject, u can sign in and leave. The tests r really hard even tho he lets u use a full page of notes but it still doesnt help its challenging questions with 5 posssible answers, 3 tests all multiple choice, wouldnt recomend to some1 who has small attention span

He is very nice guy.And he tried to explined everything he know.That's easy class if you lecture.But finally I droped it.555

My only complaint was that this class was extremely boring. He outlines everything on the board, so take good notes. Cheat sheets on the exams. No homework or papers. Attendance not mandatory. He's a really good guy and can teach you a lot...IF you're willing to learn.

Great teacher; passion for what he knows. There is no homework and no text book. The tests aren't too hard if you come to class and study the handouts. He answers all questions and is not condescending. Notes are not really needed because he thoroughly goes over the handouts in each class…you have to come to class to know that.

He's soooo boring, but he knows what he's talking about! He gives study guides and extra credit so if youre like me who failed 2 tests out of 3 and you do them plus do really well on the last one, you'll surely PASS!!!!!

Ok this teacher is not a great teacher. Hes extremely boring and you must take notes and keep yourself up! If you miss a day in class, you're missing good notes thats going to be on the test. He is easy only if you are easily amused by lectures. Only has 3 midterms. I never do well in classes like this.

Prof Lee is a very knowlagable individual. I rarely found myself bored in his class, and had little difficulty jeeping pace with lectures. I never bought the book and i did fine in his class. His tests are based upon lectures, and there is no homework. I always enjoyed how he would discuss current events in class. Overall a great teacher Highly rec

He knows the subject very well and is very clear. You don't even need to buy the book.He gives you a study guide before each test that has all the things you need to know on it.Pay attention in class, and you'll get an A.You can also get the notes from his slideshows before each test, and he offers extra credit. Great teacher! He's a must take!

took his lab and lecture class. hes nice & helpful. lets you use notes for both classes, which helps a lotttt. and gives out study guides for all the tests. there are 3 tests in each class, but easy if you study. its impossible to fail his class, as long as you copy down the notes on his slides. pay attntion and go to class. no regrets!!!! hes bomb

Really clear and and entertaining.

Prof. Lee is kool. If your just taking this for GE purposes then heres the deal. Class is super boring. The way he says meters is funny. Easy to pass if you read the book and sleep in class , or pay attention in class and dont buy the book. 4 tests and you get a study sheet and you get to make a note card. Hes a kool dude.

i really like him. I find his class interesting even though science is my worst subject. He's really cool, I like how he moves his head when he speaks and he's nice because he cares about the price of the book and so made one himself which is the same book but condensed, so it's cheaper. I reaally recomend him :D

terribly difficult class. :(

I took his Ocean01 class in Winter which wasn't too bad. Got to use cheat sheets for the test. Must go to each class because everything comes from his lectures/power points (Don't need book). Also took his Ocean10 class for Spring. A lot harder & requires good understanding & memorization. Technically it's straight forward. Got A's in both classes.

Lee is a very good teacher. He is high energy, so if you take a night class be prepared to wake up. He is patient and willing to explain the material, and he allows a 'cheat sheet' of notes on the exams. Take him over ANY other OCEAN teacher at Pierce. Trust me; he is the best.

its true, not that easy but it's possible to get an A if u study. he allows cheat sheets on all exams & even gives out xtra credit! He's super nice and always willing to help. I enjoyed his class even if u couldnt put down ur pen,...lots of note taking but who cares, it's college time!!! I especially loved the lab though. Meet ppl in class!

Seriously people, wake up. Easiest class I ever took. Copy the notes he puts up in class, type them up, make them small print and print them on a full page of paper (front and back).. use it on the test, you get an A or at least a B... Easiest A I ever got...

If you show up to class, take notes and do the review sheets that he hands out before every test you will do well! Really helpful and you learn a lot in this class. Interesting subject and he is a very fair teacher. 2 extra credit assignments and 3 tests, he drops your lowest grade. There is work, but just spend a little time studying, its worth it

He's really nice and his class is easy. Just take the notes, and you'll do fine. You also get to have a full page of notes to use on tests, so organize them well! Attendance isn't mandatory but you should go to keep up.

THIS TEACHERS IS REALLY NICE..HE WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTION EVEN IF ITS A STUPID QUESTION..HE TEACHES THE NOTES THAT YOU CAN PRINT OUT ONLINE..NO HOMEWORK..2 EXAMS AND 1 FINAL..EXTRA CREDIT ..LETS YOU USE NOTES ON THE EXAMS..EASY

I enjoyed professor Lee's class. His class is really interesting and he is a super nice guy. Tests are hard though even with the one page of notes you can use on them, but maybe that's just me (im not a science minded person at all). By the end of class out of 60+ ppl in the beginning we ended up w/around 20 or less. It aint that easy!

Good professor. I liked him overall. He's clear and lets you use cheat sheets for the tests and gives extra credit. He also drops your lowest test. The class isn't exactly easy though. Just take good notes, show up, and make detailed cheat sheets and you'll do fine.

He's a guy who knows his stuff, so be prepared to take notes from the lecture and the book. Very detailed class so if your one who hates lectures I wouldn't recommend but if you love a fairly easy science class, sign up.

Great teacher. When you walk out the door, you totally understand what he taught you. He's helpful, understanding and totally engaged in the class. Highly recommend for any class he teaches!

Very good teacher, though not an easy class. There is really no homework or projects, just 3 exams, but they are pretty difficult. He allows you to use a sheet of notes on them but its not nearly as easy as you'd think, you gotta know the stuff well. The lectures are interesting and hes helpful.

Very vey clear about lecture. Gives a lot of great examples. If u wanna take oceanography class, then he's the professor to take it. Got me interested with ocean!

Best teacher ever. Extremely easy, basically hands your A to you. Gives you the powerpoints all you have to do is fill in a few blanks. If you miss class, he'll meet with you later to give you the answers. Extremely helpful, very interesting class.

I don't know why he's getting a bad review. He is VERY clear on his lectures, provides us the powerpoint to print to take notes with. If you really listen to him and can remember everything, you won't even need the study guide. I never once used my book just his notes, made a study guide on things I couldn't remember and pass with an EASY "A".

AMAZING. Love him. Best teacher at Pierce, tying with Prof. Snow. Extremely easy, gives you his slideshows with just some fill-in blanks. I barely showed up to class and got an A. Just went to his office hours when I felt like it to get the slideshow answers. Attendance not mandatory, never touched book. 1 pg front&back notes for tests make it EASY

He is THE BEST professor at Pierce. LOVED the class and even though the concepts were not interesting to me at first, the way he presented the material made it fascinating. This was the only class I've had where time seems to pass by so quickly, since his teaching style is thorough and you can tell he is truly passionate about the subject!!

very fun and helpful teacher. gives a lot of work but only some go towards your grade so if you don't do some assignments the others will make up for it. highly recommend even if you don't like oceanography.

Easy class, easy tests, nice teacher. Gives study guides and lets you have a paper sized cheat sheet (type small). An A is practically handed to you, I don't understand how anyone can say it's hard - Lazy people who don't want to do any work. Just open the book, read and copy. Done.

He is pretty awesome! very clear on what he wants and expects! Super nice and always will clarify if you need help! 2 exams and classwork! Everything the the exams are on the worksheets he gives during class! If you need an easy lab take him! He's cool!

Professor Lee is great! Definitely would recommend this class if you're just trying to fulfill your GE reqs. Pretty straightforward with what he wants. Take notes, study, and you'll be fine! :)

Lab worksheets are easy. Generally, the class consists of lecture for roughly an hour, and then worksheets. Make sure to pay attention and nothing should be difficult.

He is a great teacher. Gives you a study GUIDE not the questions to the test. And lets you use a study sheet =) i recommend him, he loves his subject and he is a funny guy! take good notes! book is not mandatory, but he recommends it so that you can study on your own. Take him. He is great!

No textbook needed, he gives you a very detailed study guide for the test, and he is enthusiastic and clear with his lectures. The only downside is that the class is just nonstop lecture and slides, as expected. Just pretty boring and the info gets repeated over and over. About a third of the the class wound up dropping due to this.

Professor Lee is a great professor. He does lecture daily and your grade is based on exams only. But he goes over the stuff so much that you should remember it for the exam. He also lets you use a page of notes on exams. That alone is a bonus! Just make sure you organize your notes well because his test are not super easy. But not hard either!

You need to print out the class notes for each section, there are blank spaces for you to fill in during lecture, which makes it easier to listen during class because you're not scrambling to write everything down. Gives a study guide & allows a page of notes (double sided) for each exam. The notes are helpful because the exams are not easy.

I printed all notes and went to every class, but the course was still very difficult. He's a really nice guy but the material is hard to understand. Do not expect this class to be easy.

Professor Lee is so helpful. I really enjoyed his class. Although attendance is not mandatory after a while. I would say if you go to class and take notes you'll do just fine. Has 2 test and a final, allows you to use a study guide on the test. No homework. Great class strongly recommend it.

Prof Lee is great at teaching. Its not a hard class at all, you just need to pay attention and take good notes! Everything on the test is completely covered in class. You will only fail this class if your not ready for college and are lazy! I learned a lot from this class and really enjoyed it. I highly recommend him if you want to take ocean 1!

I thought he was a really good teacher & had a lot of respect for him. Really helpful if you ask for it, straightforward and only had 2 or 3 exams. No textbook required so it's important to attend lectures. Lets you bring a notecard filled w notes for the exams. Of course you have to put in the effort to study, but if you do it's an easy A.

He's a great professor. I really enjoyed his class. He is very clear on what's going to be on the exam. It is not an easy A. You work hard for it.

Really long and uneventful lectures, but you learn a lot. He also doesn't require a textbook; this is great because you save money, but you must be present in class to pass. Clear exams and clear grading. Offers a bit of extra credit to those struggling.

Easy A if you study the day before - It's important to understand what you're doing during the lab, but the way he teaches it is very easy. Find reliable friends to be lab partners - No hw, tests can be MILDLY tricky (if that) - Let's you leave as soon as you're done with labs, so class usually ended up being an hour. Take him, you'll enjoy it!

The lectures feel a bit long at times, but you'll definitely learn. He's also just a really nice guy and does his best to help everyone succeed, but you really do need to attend if you want to do well. If you do plan on being absent regularly, get the book he recommends. Also, no homework at all, just three tests.

This class is an easy AB if you actually try and study. He lets you use a one page sheet of notes on all three exams (front and back). He also gives an extra credit worksheet that can earn you half of the points you missed on your lowest exam score. Great professor and he tries to help you pass.

Prof. Lee is a gem! He injects real life stories and facts into his lectures making the material more interesting and tangible. He wants all his students to succeed and encourages asking question (before, during or after class). He gives extra credit assignments as well! If you talk during the whole class or don't show up you probably will fail!!!

Mr. Lee is a great teacher. He lists textbooks but they are not required. He gives the notes sometimes, but are available to print online. The notes are fill in as you follow along with him take detailed notes. He allows front and back cheat sheet/ review with every exam. Utilize it. I suggest partnering up with a responsible classmate to pass.

For Ocean Lab, I suggest taking detailed notes. Also utilize cheat sheet/note card for 1st exam. Partner or work in groups. He is very patient, lets you attend other class or make up missing/late assignments if need be. He stays after to help and answer questions. It is an easy A/B just do what you have to do. We never stay the whole time for class

His tests are a bit tricky. He allows you to bring a sheet of notes for every test, including the final. Take my advice, type all your notes, ( he allows you to), put every question on the note sheet, including all the lecture slides, and you will get an A. No homework. 2 exams 1 final.

This class is based off 3 tests. no homework and he gives a study guide for each test. You can have a piece of paper with notes for each test. Lectures are long but you learn a lot. Recommend taking with a friend. Gives extra credit and curves the grade. He is really enthusiastic about the class. Powerpoint notes help so copy them down

Profesor Lee is great! Too many kids drop because they do poorly on the first exam. Study for every test, make a study guide with a friend, he provides a list of what might be on the exam, print powerpoint slides and bring them to follow along to his lecture. If you're lazy to prepare before the exam, you'll probably do bad and drop. Helpful prof

He's the best His tests aren't hard and he gives guides to study them. If you study his study guides, definitely an A is already in your hands. His lectures are clear and he's funny too sometimes. Recommended class.

I never get a good grade on science. I took his class on Winter and passed with an A. He gave out 3 tests, and a final. Not a hard test at all. He lets you bring notes for the test, and he'll give a study guide. A very good teacher if you work quite hard. I don't mind taking another science class. He's a very good professor, recommended!

He lets you take a full paper with notes for his tests. Everyone fails the first one but if he sees that your trying he'll pass you. He doesn't even care if you show up, but you still should.

Overall easy class if you take good notes. Let's you bring a full sheet of paper to the test filled with notes, but don't take that for granted cuz people usually do bad still. Second test was much easier. He offers a bit of extra credit too. Class is super boring but take good notes and listen and guaranteed A

One of the best professors I have taken at Pierce. He is very clear with what he expects & goes over everything that will be on the test. There are three exams in all. I really enjoyed this class, even though I thought I wouldn't. No textbook required because he goes over all of the material in his lectures. Notes are allowed for the exams.

I took this class for the A summer session at pierce and it was pretty straight forward, The study guides/questions he gave were clear. Also let us bring in a one page for notes which can either be typed. In the 5 weeks, I received a B and I'm far from an oceanography major.

This guy is a genius! He loves what he's teaching which makes learning so much easier. Oceanography is interesting, but you can only like it so much. There are 3 exams and no homework what so ever. You don't really need to study as long as you print out the lecture notes, attend class, and make a solid cheat sheet for the tests.

LOVE him. You need to go to each class as the notes have important fill ins. The notes are where the tests come from. He let us have one sheet back + front with notes for all tests. He basically gives you an A, just try. Extra credit after each test. Talk up in class, when he asks the class something he is seeing who cares to pay attention!

Hard class in my opinion. It is nice that he posts the notes online for you to bring to class though, and that he lets you use a page of notes for the tests. So much information though and I wish he would reinforce it with a little homework sometimes. Still a great teacher though, very informative and it's an interesting subject.

The notes Lee provides is a cheap sheet for his test. Everything he teaches in class is on the test, attendance is a must. Lee is very nice and very helpful. Gives out extra credit to bump up your test grades. Easy A

Amazing professor that cares about the success of his students. Very passionate about what he teaches.

He's funny, he's super nice, and he taught me so much!! It was THE most interesting classes I've ever taken!!! His notes are available online you just have to fill in the information during lecture; but those are just basic ideas. Copy his diagrams, take extra notes on all the key points, pay attention and it will be the easiest A of your life

Professor Lee is a great geology professor. He is passionate, kind, and gives a lot of focused information relevant to the subject and the exams. You do need to attend and study, but it is relatively low stress if you consider that of a biology class.

Professor Lee for Oceanography lab is really excellent. The labs are very informative. Attendance and studying are necessary, but his teaching style is focused and straightforward. It is really cool looking at rocks under the microscopes, which you do a lot of.
