Reviews of professor Stephen Walsh

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
dont be deceived i took this for a easy FYS & did worse than most my other classes. he says attendance doesnt count (i skipped 3) & gave 0 opp. to discuss in class yet i got a 70 for a partic. grade. he says ur grade will b made up of all these things yet it ended up only being 4 papers & a midterm. he assigns SO many readings but i barely read any

Just an absolute terrible professor. Worst I have ever had in college. Knows about 3 hours worth of material about the galapagos and repeats the same stuff over and over. Papers and presentations seem to be graded by giving it a glance and giving everyone a 85 - 90. Tests are filled with unimportant details and miss the big picture. Bad class.

I've never had a professor at UNC give absolutely ZERO feedback on all papers/projects. Seriously, he will just give a B with no comments. Lectures are boring and repetitive. No one aced the midterm, so I don't know how anyone could get an A in this class. Tests are incredibly meticulous. Just a bad class. Definitely avoid.

Very nice dude, not a tough grader. Expect to write about 4 papers, 2 with a group. One of the best professors for understanding the pains of group projects! Will absolutely work with you if your group sucks. Obviously passionate about what he does and the person to talk to if you wanna study abroad in the Galapagos.

What others have said is true, he basically repeated the content from the first class for the entirety of the semester. It is very clear that teaching the class was not a priority. Basically no grading criteria which was very frustrating. Not a structured class at all.
