Reviews of professor Mitchell Chapura

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
We had three homework assignment and three exams. There were a few extra credit opportunities. The test covered a lot of material and did not seem very centralized on the topic. There were powerpoints posted that would have 30 plus slides of information on them but no lectures.

Class is easy if you do the work. Tests are long but given online outside of class to do on your own time. Lectures can be boring. He does give pop quizzes as a way to grade attendance but it is literally usually just one easy question. Got an A and would take this prof again if I had the chance.

First let me premise that I took this class during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chapura was very kind and accommodating, grade-wise, during this time. However, there was an extreme lack of communication during the whole semester. Very little instruction was given for any assignments and he was constantly late to class or just cancelled without any notice

His tests are online and way too long (I'm talking 85 questions and 90 minutes to do them) and they aren't easy because you have to go through 10 different ppts that are over 50 slides. He offers a lot of extra credit, takes a really long time to grade assignments, and just talks the whole class

This is an extremely easy class. Trust me, someone said he gives lots of questions on the test which is true but you are pretty much graded only off that and its out of class you can just use notes. The pop quizzes he always gave them out 15 minutes before class ended so Id be at home and check my phone easy A and its only one easy question.

Such an easy class. He didn't teach like anything and everything was posted online for us. The tests were easy, no lockdown browser. He virtually gifted us an A. Barely much homework. He was bad at replying to emails though.

You will have to stay on top of icollege to see when something is uploaded and I would only recommend this class to people trying to fulfill their gen ed credits. I did not use the textbooks he required, just google and I still passed with an A-. He does not upload ANY grade until the semester ends so do your best.

While the class as a whole is very easy since the only impactful grades are the online tests, his lectures are very boring. He has a very monotone voice that is easy to drown out and it doesn't help when he'll go on long tangents about this that don't really matter. The pop quizzes are usually one question based on something he said in class.

Chapura is a good professor you can tell he cares about his students. He is very caring and understanding. He knows a lot about Geology. He recommends buying the textbook and did but ended up not using at all so I wouldnt buy it if I were you. The test are very long but not too difficult.
