great class, strict but fair and very fun

You can't afford to miss class unless you bum notes off the smart kid. Only mid term and final scantrons. Fun and informative, but you have to show up and pay attention. P.S. DO NOT SHOW UP IF YOU ARE LATE!

Great guy, and very funny. Don't be late to class. Very good at breaking things down to an understandable level. If you're rude or obnoxious, he WILL call you on it. He may seem rough if you're oversensitive.

If you are there to learn - not to be a annoyance - you will love this man. I took him for two classes and wish I had taken more. You have to pay attention and take a lot of notes, but you'll learn more than you ever thought possible.

Funny and interesting. If you act like a child he'll treat you like one, though.

If you have had any kind of science previously, you'll breeze throught this class. Just be on time and expect the unexpected. He's a bit unusual.

Meyers knows his bio and explains everything very well. His writing is perfect, he makes a women look bad. He draws better than he will admit to, and always takes time to explain everything. He helps in the bio lab. His tests are moderate with alot of extra credit. His quizzes are easy.

He is a no BS teacher... You get one quiz, one midterm and the final. He doesn't use a book. You have to take notes from his lecture. He is a good teacher. You have to go to every class and be there on time, or you will not do good. If you pay attention and take notes, you should do fine.

very straight forward: no HW, one mid term and a final...thast it...no book all notes. take this class at yer own risk

He is inspiring. A very intelligent man. You will learn loads of information ripe for you to apply throughout your life. 1 midterm, 1 final exam. Straight-shooter, but necessary. Pull yourself together and you'll be fine.

Craig does not harass students, he simply challanges their asinine comments searching for reason and sense in their statements. I have been witness to some unbelievably unnecessary comments. This class is crucial for developing on many processes that occur in your daily life. Tape Recorder A MUST

This guy is a smart guy, yea he hates not knowing answeres to crazy questions, but he'll admit it. good teacher to take. He will blow your mind.

very good teacher, learned a lot. no book, no homework, just a midterm and a final. you must show up on time; he droped someone in my class for coming late.

He comes off tough, but all he wants is for his students to understand the concepts and learn them instead of memorizing them. No book or homework, gives thorough notes. I want to major in environmental science now that i've taken his class. If you want to learn something then don't hesitate to take him. great teacher

This guy is very well educated. He thinks very quickly and lectures even faster. Record his lectures and take many notes. NEVER BE LATE OR MISS A CLASS!!! Since he does not require a textbook, if you want to get an A +, I absolutely recommend that you obtain an old Env.Sci text to refer to as he tends to not cover topics completely. Have fun, study

He talks very fast, so you will think he did not cover certain topics, but if you tape record it and play it back you will find that he covered everything. So definately tape his classes. He is willing to re-explain anything as many times as you need. Very patient and helpful.

relaxed guy tells u things that can be complete bs but he's smarter so we dont know if he's lying or not. tests are all off the lecture so take good notes or use a recorder. tests are average i got a C in the class

All based on lecture so you can't miss a class! 3 exams. No text book so you really need to have Excellent notes.A lot of writing and pretty fast so keep up.He is good at lecturing,and its interesting stuff,but if you want an easy A,it isn't here. strict about leaving the classroom at any time and coming late.he's a layed back type of guy.Bit2fast.

Great course and equally great Prof. The one problem w/ this course is he only teaches it at night so you get 3 hrs. of lecture which was a bit to much for me (ADD). DO NOT miss a class, show up late, or leave your cell phone on. LOTS of notes. Attend every class and read up on the material covered (the internet worked for me) and you will be OK.

Since this class is lecture only, you can't miss one. A tape recorder or iPod + mic are a must. Aside from note taking, there's no homework. The class can be dry, but is interesting overall. He's pretty clear. He gives many anecdotes for context, which he doesn't test for. Tests are graded on a curve. He's friendly and willing to help. Good class!

He was one of my favorite teachers. His class isn't hard if you show up and do most of the work. He is a character and will give help whenever you need it.

This professor is requires that students rely on their listening and notation skills to learn. It's not hard and only requires attention and discipline. He speaks simply and his tests are very easy. Students who do not excel in this class simply lack the skills necessary for college. I love this professor and look forward to ES 2.

in order to inhabit earth,each human should be REQUIRED to take this class.The info frm the class will 4ever stay w u.best class,honestly ever.teacher really does inspire &instill understanding in students.he should teach every subject.thanks mr.meyer!!the info is not hard,ne1 with VERY BASIC reasoning skills should excel.some ppl r just LAZY

Craig rules! Take a look at the entries that bash him. They are chock full of misspelled words and poor grammar. That pretty much lets you know who wrote them. Craig grades on a curve and the tests are easy so don't be scared. You don't need a text so the course is cheap as well. Just research the topics he discusses on line and you'll be fine.

I thought he was very nice and he explained everything you need to know VERY WELL. In fact he answered every questions he can very cleary. He is a great teacher to have.

Great teacher, will do everything it takes to get you an A if YOU care. Talks a little fast but loves when you ask questions and will answer until you understand. Ask him about his 90 day criuses, really intresting. I would for sure take this class again with pleasure. Recommended!!!

Meyers' classes take seemingly disparate environmental concerns and tie them all together to derive mind-boggling truths about the world in which we live. While the concepts he covers seem complex, presents the details in layman’s terms. He has a great sense of humor that requires one in his students. If you need a science course, ES 1 is a must!

Good teacher, but you really need to pay attention and if you have any questions, he is more than happy to answer any of them. There are only two major test and one 10 pt. quiz and if nobody is participating, he will have everyone take out a sheet of paper for a quick quiz.

This class has no textbook, just lecture. This makes it pretty difficult if you are going to miss a lot of class or don't take good notes. I'd say skip this teacher if you can. He's a good enough teacher, but it's difficult with no book. Fortunately his grading scale is generous, so it's easy to pass, but pretty hard to get an A or B.

Very strict teacher. Doesn't repeat anything if you didn't hear what he said quite clear. No textbook, just a little chart, and just listening to all his lectures. Doesn't write anything on the board and he should understand that all the people in his class are not just auditory learners but also visual learners (which i am). Only mid-term & final.

Great teacher if you are interested in learning. This teacher earns his pay check.

This professor talks the talk and walks the walk. A must take for everyone. He makes you think and offers plenty of time for interaction during the class.

Not the easiest teacher, but if you ask questions and understand the material you will do well- in the class, and you will come away with a wealth of knowledge. I took ES2 and got a B, when I took ES1- I listened harder, never missed class, reviewed the midterm with him and got an A. Don't take the class if you're not ready to THINK though.

hiiii guyzzz u knw wt class is kinda cool i mean dnt take ne tension he curves d gardes if u kinda cool person go to his class n take it easy u ll learn a lot n by d end of d semester study bt dnt wory if u wanna pass d course easily u ll get a C he is very smart very intelligent has tooo much knwledge bt midterm was hard n final was awsum so overa

Meyer is one of those professors who has an odd way of developing rigor and critical thinking in his students with a rough hand. He cares about your abilities as a thinker and is uncompromising in his approach. I don't like his police-like tardy policy one bit, but when all is said and done, he makes a better student out of you, like it or not.

Professor Meyer is very knowledgeable, very fair, very caring, and (horror!) very demanding. When it is all said and done he is one of the best teachers I have ever had. I took Environmental Science 1 and Environmental Science 2 with him, and I am now planning to take Environmental Science 7 and Oceanography with him. Try him, you will like him!

I took ES 1 and 2 and Oceanography with him. He is a tough teacher, very demanding (no cell phones, don't show up late) but nothing that shouldn't be expected. As a serious student, I appreciated it. He lectures the entire time. If you don't understand something, he won't stop until you do. He's great.

VERY FUNNY professor, really dedicated to making sure you not only understand but challenge the material. Very big on class involvement and your opinion. Take meticulous notes b/c there is no book, and if you don't understand something, ASK. You need the into and he'll love you for it. Make sure you get it all and study!!!!

Great Professor. Don't be late! He will make a mockery out of you. The lectures are enticing & he doesn't repeat himself. If you don't understand something he will stop and go through the material with you until you understand. Wicked sense of humor, but its refreshing. Really knows what he's talking about. And there is no book so come so class!

I like Craig, he has a wicked sense of humor. he demands respect from students. Don't be late or leave your phone on! He will totally bust your balls for it. Grades on a curve so grades weren't too bad. Only 3 tests one to check your attention on the syllabus and a mid term and final. No text book means lots of notes but you save $ on books!.

The best professor at Pierce College, hands down. If you're really interested in learning about relevant environmental issues, take his class. He cares about you if you care about the class and respect his policies. He will not take points off of your grade, contrary to what others have posted, just don't be late often and you'll be fine.

Great teacher, very interesting class. I learned a lot about the environment. He has a great sense of humor! No book required so there is a lot of notes! Don't be late and make sure your cell is on vibrate

At first I hated the guy--he's hard and says abrasive things sometimes. However, I stopped by his office and found him to be an exceptional human being and teacher. Take his class-he understands what education is supposed to be. It's not about "information" so much as about thinking and values-and he is one of the few who gets that.

Read his syllabus carefully, he passes 80% of his students for sure, there is only a syllabus test, a mid term and a final. Most of the mid term is on the final. I missed 2 months of his class and still passed with a C because of the way he grades you. I regret not coming to class more because he really knows what he is talking about ...

Once you get to know this teacher, you realize that everyone in college should be required to take this course. There is no textbook use, so you need to take excellent notes and maybe even record his lectures. I didn't do as well as I was hoping (Got a C), but I learned so much from his class. He's a funny guy.

he's really not that bad. He grades on a curve. Dont come to class late, take notes according to the syllabus and just listen to what he says, cuz most of it gets interesting. the mid term is harder then the final. no dates or names, he'll test u on your understanding. no homework. i'm usually not good at studying but i got B anyway.

You show up, listen and take notes, you will have a passing grade. One thing that isn't fair for students is the way grades, he curves. I was in the top ten in the class,in terms of test scores, and I still got a C. Tests are hard. His lectures are really interesting and give you insight on things that you thought don't really matter.

Brilliant professor. Useful class. Challenges you to think, use logic, and question. Totally relevant to the problems we face today. Attendance and note taking is a MUST. No textbook = awesome!! Office hours are very helpful. Hands down the best professor I've ever had.

One of the best professors ever. Prepared me well for my studies at UCLA. Take the time to listen and ask questions even if you feel he ridicules you. You will be much better for it, trust me! If you're unmotivated and immature, do not take this class. You'll get rocked in the class and in life.

Simply the best.Life changing class. Be on time,take good notes - guranteed good grades. He is very passionate about environmental problems like over population, CO2 emissions, and he offers practical solutions.Learned alot

A very smart man, but a bit crazy. He makes you aware of the world and prepares you for any earth science majors. Highly recommended. Pay attention in lectures and do NOT be late. No text book.

Amazing teacher who is passionate about science. He is one of the interesting professors that I have had at pierce. The way in which the class is structured is to teach the students how to learn to learn on their own. Overall, the most inspirational teacher I have ever had. If you record lectures and listen to them after each you'll do well.

One of the best teachers I have ever had. He breaks down concepts so that students can understand them even if they haven't taken any science courses. He starts from the basics of every concept. Very intelligent and passionate about science. The way he teaches is compatible with every student. But be prepared to work for your grade.

This is my first science class and he made it easier for me. Get a tape recorder and take good notes then your good for his class.On his lecture you feel free to ask any question on the lecuture.Before class starts he is really funny teacher and he is on some of his lecture

This class is almost over and I still can't decide whether or not I like this prof's teaching method.No textbook was a plus for my wallet, but means you have to pay close attention to every second of his lectures, which are LONG and sometimes really boring. oh and don't be late or even think about texting, he will embarrass you.

I never knew I liked to camp until taking his Geology Class through Death Valley after it was recommended to me during his environmental science class! I hope he still does this because it was the foundation to me later becoming my daughter's scout leader, and starting a Camping Club with over 450 members. Thank you Mr. Myers! Your amazing person.

Attendance not mandatory, but it is a lecture only class. If you attend and take notes, you should be great for the tests. The tests are straight forward enough. NO CELL PHONES IN CLASS!! But he is a cool teacher!

He's great! Very intelligent and expects his students to think. He will challenge you and prove to you that you are capable of formulating thoughts passed 'I don't know'. Show up to every lecture and take good notes. He'll take the time needed to help you understand any subject.

he is the best professor I have ever had. such a helpful professor very intelligent knows his stuff. No textbook required based in lectures.

He is a really good teacher. Science isn't my thing, but he really helped me to understand things. He is pretty funny, and I learned a good amount in that class. He gives out random homework and sometimes you don't know if he actually assigned it, but he did. Just do it, have it with at all times until he asks for it. You will do fine!

Really glad to see Mr. Meyer is still teaching! Positive reviews are how I remember him! Took ENV SCI, OCEANOGRAPHY & a geology field course to Death Valley from 96-97. ...and if you don't like being "ridiculed" for being late? Well, then show up on time & don't make excuses!

I took both ES 1 and 2 with Craig. I would have gladly taken more of his classes, but he was not offering any. Showing up and actively listening to lectures are crucial to doing well, in addition to reviewing your notes regularly. His lectures are compelling, and you will learn a TON. I went from a liberal arts major to an ES major thanks to him.

Professor Meyer is passionate about science. If you are taking Env Sci 2, find out what plantsanimals are indigenous to Cali before you go. Pure lecture class. He follows his syllabus. You need a recorder; he allows cell phones to record, but you have to leave it on his desk up front. Grades on a curve. Come to class (on time), study - easy AB.

Incredible! This class inspired me to change my major from business to environmental science. Grade based on a midterm and a cumulative final. NO homework. He allows recorders and I would highly recommend using one. Attend every class and do not show up late. He's always willing to help outside of class time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Meyers rocks!

As long as you attend class, actively listen, and take notes then you should be fine. Your grade is based off of a syllabus quiz, a midterm, and a final. Tests are pretty straight forward, not too difficult as long as you review beforehand. He also allows students to record the lectures.

He is pretty straightforward about what is expected and you need to follow his rules. Just show up on time, sit up front, take good notes and try to participate in discussions and you will get a good grade. Hes old school and just tells you what you need to know. Theres only three tests and no extra credit but the tests are not difficult.

Walk in, he starts talking, you start taking notes. Accompanies lecture with pictures on a slideshow or drawings on the chalkboard. No homework, but everything he says or draws is worth copying because it's testable. Only 3 tests. I was the only one in class who took notes, and the only one who thought it was a fun, easy, class. Coincidence? nope

Same format as my comment abt his Enviro 1 class. Easy class if you have at least 1 brain cell and the willingness to take a ridiculous amount of notes. (Don't enroll if lazy!) Since his career is environmental preservation, sometimes you leave the class a bit depressed bc of the state of the world lol, but you're also a lot smarter.

Cool class. No textbook -- 100% lectures. Meyer has extensive background career in science (as does his father who worked on the Manhattan Project). So the lectures are extremely informative and full of interesting stories. Punctuality & participation necessary. May give you a hard time, but not mean-spirited. Encourages critical thinking.

He tells you exactly what you need to do to pass his class write down everything he says. I literally recorded his lectures and wrote down everything he said on my own time. It was time consuming, but the material STUCK in my head. I learned some really awesome things for sure. This class isn't for slackers.

Let me start off by saying Prof. Meyer's knowledge is extremely extensive and beyond what I've ever seen from other professors. I learned a lot. But... I think this class will be my first B or even C sadly, even though I've been an A student for 2 straight years. I counted how many pages of notes I took: 98. Front and back. Get ready to write.

Oh my word, I've got an A! I really didn't think it was possible. Prof grades on a curve which is not a big deal but this class was the hardest one I've taken so far. Looking back on how I believe I managed to be successful, I can only say: spend as much time absorbing the material. Listen, write, read. It cost me blood, sweat and a few tears.
