Easy hybrid class. Tests were easy and hw was online through the textbook which you did have to buy the access code for.

This class shouldn't of been hard, but it was for me at least. Professor Long was a really good professor and was always there if anyone needed help, so take don't ignore that. You really need to study hard for the exams because they are a little hard.

He's a really good professor, you can tell he cares a lot. You're going to work for your grade in his class, but his standards aren't unfair. If you pay attention and show up, you'll learn more from him than most others. Always leaves a lot of supportive feedback on your homework . Just a note, nearshore processes is math heavy, so be ready for it

He gives weekly homework assignments online that are relatively simple, 4 total tests (drops the lowest one), and in class assignments that are completion grades. He doesn't take attendance but it is important to go to class if you want to do well on his tests. Overall, a wonderful professor.

He is a great professor that really cares about his students as well as what he's teaching. Even though he doesn't take attendance, he explains the lectures much better than just looking at his powerpoints. If you pay attention and study its an easy A. He also drops the lowest test and quiz grade, and gives 2 extra credit opportunities.

Dr. Long is a good professor. He clearly cares and wants to teach this material, and he will regularly try to engage with students in lecture. Personally, this teaching style wasnt to my taste and reminded me too much of a high school classroom. I found a few of his exam questions to unnecessarily tricky, but otherwise he is a solid professor.

Dr. Long is one of the best professors I've ever had. I took his OCN 151 course and now I am taking his EGN 420 course on Coastal Modeling. He is extremely knowledgable of the coastal engineering field and is very easy to understand. I've learned many things through his classes that I didn't understand in other coastal engineering classes.

A great teacher for intro to oceanography. Makes the class so super easy. If you go to class and listen to what he says you will get A's on the tests with minimal effort.
