Reviews of professor Alexander Humphreys

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Probably the easiest professor at UM. This class is perfect for fulfilling your STEM cognate. All his lectures are recorded, and the slides are posted on Blackboard. If you can't get an A in this class, then you can't get an A in ANY class... Exams are online, as well. His lectures are super boring, but he's a super nice guy.

King. Read the powerpoints, take notes, and you'll do well on the exams. Also, show up to the exam reviews- they're very useful. Please take him. He wants you to do well and presents the information in a way that is easy to understand and take notes on.

Extremely knowledgeable and quite interesting in his lectures even citing pop culture references to keep the class engaged. He's super chill and the tests very much reflect the content, and the tests/project are not irrationally hard and are impactful for learning. Would easily take a class with him again. Attendance not mandatory fs.

great teacher and class, teaching made it seem interesting and not too advanced for someone that is taking a course like this as a required STEM, class design is great. - gives you a very structured way to take notes which help is making tests very straightforward and not challenging which ultimately leads to an easy A

Very easy class. He's very knowledgable about geology and is clearly passionate about it. You can learn a lot if you pay attention. Very understanding guy, and his tests are pretty easy too. Very helpful too, if you have a problem, he can help you with it. I'd take this professor again and again if I could.

Just the sweetest professor. He is excited to lecture whether there are 2 kids or 25 in the room. We also got let out early a lot. The exams are very easy as long as you study the powerpoints. Take this class if you don't want any outside work. There are only 3 online exams and 1 written paper. Great class and great GPA booster.

Professor Humphreys wants what's best for his students. His class is extremely lecture heavy. 3 tests and 1 paper for the semester. If you don't have a deep love for this subject... DO NOT TAKE IT AS A COGNATE CLASS

He is obviously very passionate about geology, and this class was a piece of cake. He doesn't take attendance, just try to go to the review for the tests cause they help. There is also a paper near the end of the semester due, and with the way he graded mine, anyone could get an A. Definitely great for a cognate or minor filler class.

Great professor, he cares a lot about his students and as long as you follow along you should get an A. There is no way you get below a B in his class, you would have to try. Great for people completing their cognates. I would take it again in a heartbeat. Attendance is not mandatory at all. This class did have one paper to complete.
