Pros: No book required, easy midterm and final ONLY IF YOU GO TO THE REVIEW SESSIONS, and he's a generally nice old man. I actually found the class to be quite interesting... at times.e
Cons: Can be boring, especially with the lights turned off, have to purchase a clicker, counts clicker quizzes for points and attendance for every class, and he says "If you will" enough to make you pull out your hair.

Pros: Easy
Cons: Boring
The class is an easy A if you go and pay attention to what he says. He gives clicker quizzes for attendance. Only grades are midterm, poster project, final, and clicker quizzes. Class consists of him lecturing while showing a slide show of pictures with the lights off. Sit in front as it is easy to fall asleep in there!

Pros: A very easy class. One questiong pop quizzes frequently at the end of each class. The answer is usually something he stressed during class and if you don't know the answer, someone around you will.
Cons: Very boring, but he turns the lights out and doesn't care what you do as long as he doesn't see your phone or computer.

Pros: It's a easy class overall, just go to class for clicker points that part of your final grade. All the notes are on moodle.
Cons: You have read some passage out of this book but he gives you the pasage on moodle so no need to go out and buy a book. He can be very boring at times. But easy class.

Pros: little effort needed
Cons: incredibly boring
objective not clear
senile?
no transitions
The class should really be called Frederick Law Olmsted Worship with a concentration in pointless stories featuring my vacation photos. He also wastes time frequently telling people to turn off electronics.

Pros: Very easy, and only two exams
Cons: Boring
Boring class, and if you want to get clicker points you need to attend class. But there are only two exams for the entire semester, both of which are easy. Look up notes/study guides on noteswap or similar places and you'll do fine.

Pros: For his review sessions, he goes over the entire midterm/final.
Cons: This class is so terribly boring.
Waste your time in class on Facebook, so you won't miss any quizzes. Also, go to the review sessions so you will get all the test answers. This is a very easy class.

Pros: He's nice and very helpful.
Very passionate and knowledgable about the subject.
Cons: He turns off the lights, so you can't use your laptop or phone.
Make sure you get a good grade in the poster because his grading is weird!
Almost everyone I know got +95 in the final.

You have to go to class because of clicker questions. Pay attention in class and make sure to be in class the day he reviews the questions for the test and you should have no trouble. There is one project that is due at the end of the semester.
