Reviews of professor Gregory Palmer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
he made me chuckle a lot in class. I wouldn't take him again because that class bored me to death. I disagree with the way his grading weights are. and I hate that the lectures were recorded and attendance being mandatory.pretty caring, and wants the best for his students, as a teacher and a course its boring and a lot of easy unnecessary work

He is amazing and funny. There're 3 midterms and an optional final, all of it is online, but I do think that these tests were hard. Come to classes because he takes attendance and gives participation points, you can skip 4 classes and it won't affect you. Don't buy an actual book, find it online. This is an easy A if you pay attention in his class

Lots of group work in class, not much homework

Professor Palmer is a kind individual who is passionate about the subject he teaches. Unfortunately his class is lecture heavy, but he is not a harsh grader. 3 midterms, 1 optional final, and 1 semester-long research project (exams are online and at-home). The class can be boring at times, but is good if you need to satisfy the ENVS requirement.

He was very kind and knowledgable about the subject. There is lots of group work and tests are quite difficult. There is a textbook assignment due before every class but the information is well explained in class. The grade comes from mostly exams, some participation, and a semester research project.

Dr. Palmer is a very nice guy and responds to emails very quickly. That being said, the class is pretty difficult for a core class. Exams can be tough especially if you don't study. I didn't like the way the class was formatted bc you do all the learning outside of class and then work in groups during class

Dr. Palmer's was a fairly easy class. Basically, if you show up to class and pay attention you can get an A. His tests were online so you can use your notes/internet. He gives you four excused absences. The reading and podcasts for homework are basically the same thing so my advice is to choose whichever works best for you.

Easy/straightforward class. Attendance was mandatory, but you could miss a few. Exams are take home online and are easy. The semester-long research project is also pretty easy if you have a manageable project idea. He gives candy out on exam review days which is nice. Highly recommend for ENVS 101
