Reviews of professor Wes Lauer

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This class is just unorthodox. He acts as if we are aspiring scientists with a focus on climate change. Take it and you will regret it i can assure you 100%. Also finals... the final project will slap you right in the face. Topics that you dont even choose he chooses for you and he expects perfect work.

Overall, I enjoyed this class. When asked questions, the professor would tend to have a hard time answering, and instead of giving a clear answer, he would kind of dance around the question. The final was a ton of work, which was unexpected at the end of the quarter because the workload for the rest of the class was not bad at all.

The professor is very confusing when it comes to answering questions. He jumps around the question without really answering it. Acts as if this class is for a major rather than a mandatory UCOR class. The test reviews have too much material to cover before a midterm/final. The end of the quarter projects are over the top.

Dr. Lauer is a clearly brilliant and passionate person. He sometimes forgets to slow down during lectures but is more than happy to sit with you and answer questions. Often times I found I was doing more work for this 2 credit class than some of my others, felt the class could have been spaced out a bit more to get more out of it.

Dr. Lauer is a brilliant professor and a nice guy. In ENSC2400, the class was formatted to be a 50 min lecture period and a 3 hour lab, which fit well together. The reports were a lot of work, but you learn a lot from this class. While I spent more time than one should in a 2 credit class, I would take another class that Dr. Lauer is teaching.
