Reviews of professor Tyler Frankel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Info is packed on ppt slides and he talks very fast. Reading is not mandatory but any info missed during class is easily found in textbook. Posts "takeaway slides" at the end of each ppt telling you what to study for each exam. Very helpful! Occasional pop quizzes but drops the lowest grades. Grade is mainly determined by exams. Highly recommend.

This was unexpectedly my favorite class at UMW. Dr. F covers a lot of info but makes it seem effortless and every lecture was interesting. He clearly enjoys teaching and rewards those that stay engaged. Just don't wait until the last minute to start the term paper, take notes, and ask questions after class or go to office hours and you'll be fine.

Prof. Frankel provides a clear-cut course that is easy to do well in if you pay attention, come to class, and study. Lots of videos, examples, and jokes which help you remember the material better. He does not tolerate BS but provides lots of help if you email him or go to office hours. Overall great class.

Dr. Frankel is one of the best and most effective teachers I have ever had. His lectures are extremely entertaining and interesting while being informational and useful. Dr. Frankel has a very wide knowledge on the topic of Environmental Science and is incredibly helpful with any questions.

For a 101 class, this course is a LOT. Even though he posts takeaway slides and prepares you for what's on the exams (4 of them, then a cumulative final), it is a LOT of material that he practically has to speed through. He can be funny and he's passionate about the subject and wants you to do well, but be prepared to work for it.

One of the best professors, very passionate about his material and he is funny. His class isn't the easiest but c'mon this is college, just enough of a challenge. 100% recommend

He's funny and the class is very chill. He can get picky with some free response answers but as long as you know the outlines like the back of your hand, you'll be fine. He is very helpful when you do not understand something and is willing to explain anything.
