Mr. Coleman is really amusing, and even though he passes around a sign-in sheet, I don't think it counts for anything. He loves to tell stories about where he has been, which is pretty much everywhere.

He creates an un-relaxed classroom environment. Can be amusing, but most of his stories are hardly relevant to the subject.

He canceled 7 classes so we literally didn't have class for a month. He's a cool person with many stories but he will talk about it all of class instead of what is actually on the test. All our class did was argue with each other about random topics he would want to discuss that day. I learned more general knowledge than any form of geography.

Random attendence taker so you wont know what days hell call role. Class was mediocre due to him going off-track a lot and talking about his personal life and the environment. Simple class if you read and take notes FROM THE BOOK. His notes wont be much assistance.

Class begun at 10:30 and from what I understand we are his first class of the day. He is consistently late. Once he was 30 mins late because he said he took the wrong road to school. He did not publish the canvas page for a whole month despite constant reminders from students. He puts the wrong dates on announcements about tests. Didnt really teach

If you take his cultural geography course, you are payomg for the privilege of buying the texting book and teaching yourself to get ready for his tests. He goes off on tangents instead of reaching the actual course material. Sometimes his tangents last the entire class. The tests are entirely from the text but he hardly teaches from it.

If you'd rather have a professor who only wants to push their political views on you rather than teach then this would be a perfect class. More worried about talking about climate change in every class than actually lecturing. He is nice and the test are easy but you don't get too much to go off of on the papers.

Lectures arent good at all, so youll need to read and teach yourself the chapter. Goes on many side tangents that lead to heated discussions all the time.

Prof. Coleman is a caring man. He is very understandable if you miss a class, or need to make up a test. Make sure to buy the textbook because you will need to read in order to pass his class. Most of his classes are lectures that turn into rants about something not related to the textbook chapter, therefore, you have to read and learn the vocab

This is one of the best classes that I took this Spring. Professor Coleman made the emergency transition smoothly. I enjoyed working on the Final Project.

You can pass this class if you are good at teaching yourself book material. His lectures were not very helpful with exams. I think I learned more about how many times he drank tequila than actual lecture content. His papers were also very hard to write since he has a specific way he wants them done.

We had two tests in a row that were true/false. One day he didn't show up (family/ medical stuff which is understandable) and the class talked, come to find out we all were disappointed that we weren't getting as much out of it as we'd hoped. The tests are from the book, and he goes on tangents in lectures.

This class has opened my eyes to how much education can help to live in a more sustainable world. Professor Colemnan's knowlasge and passion for the subject makes the discussions in class more interesting and fun.

He will not remember what chapter he assigned but he will remember to take roll. Assignments are basic, but all you need is the book. Lectures are useless but attendance is required.
