Reviews of professor Alain Plattner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Plattner was always super sweet and informative. His class was fairly easy, as you get a "cheat sheet" for all of his exams. Attendance isn't mandatory, but it is for extra credit. The lab was honestly the worst part, and that just depends on who you get as your lab TA.

Professor Plattner is the nicest person. My class was on zoom but that didn't stop him from getting us to engage in the lecture. He really cares about the success of his students and will answer any question you have. He does practice multiple choice questions that are on the tests so make sure you know the answers. Do not buy the book he suggests.

Professor Plattner is great! Going to class is not mandatory but you are given extra credit, and he makes learning the material very easy. He is very sweet and cares about the wellbeing of his students. Exams are super easy just study the slides! Take this class for an easy A.

Overall, very easy class. That being said, Dr. Plattner is extremely caring and very well-versed on the subject. He wants students to do well, and gives lots of extra credit. Not difficult to do well in. The lab can be the most difficult part of the course.

Really good teacher! Lecture is not mandatory and he lets you use a cheat sheet for all the tests. He also does index cards as attendance(not mandatory) and they count as extra credit at the end of the semester. Online tests are the only homework and very easy to do as you can look up the answers online.

This class was basically online for me besides the lab. Alain is amazing and is so caring. Lectures are kinda fun and exam questions come straight from the lecture practice questions so study those! He is by far the easiest GEO 101 professor out there! The lab is a bit difficult but that is not his fault

He's the goat. Gives so much extra credit. Also, super nice guy. Best professor at this school.

This class was just rather unorganized and a large disaster. Time could be much better spent elsewhere, because there is a lot of unnecessary aggravation with this course.

You will get an A if you review your notes before class and do the homework. Professor Plattner deeply cares about your understanding and growth as a student, unfortunately he does not control the setup of the class which makes lectures and engagement boring. The lecture is easy, the lab is luck of the draw.

I LOVE Mr. Plattner. He is so eager to teach and is always excited for class. Attendance isnt mandatory but it is extra credit so every time u go to class u get an extra credit point. Exams are JUST like the practice questions he gives for reviews and in lectures. Study those and ull do great in the class.
