101: Coastal Geomorphology I didn't like this class. Orme's a nice guy but his exams are ridiculous. I mean, his classes are usually as follows: for 15-30 minutes he'll review stuff on course outlines that he posts online. Basic things like definitions. Then for the next hour or so, he will give you examples of the stuff that he just barely mentioned. EXAMPLE AFTER EXAMPLE AFTER EXAMPLE. He turns off the lights, turns on his projector, and kids get ready for a show. He tends to ramble and it's really hard to distinguish between what's a story and what you're supposed to remember. His exams are RIDICULOUS. Does he really expect us all to remember exactly which dam he mentioned that rose this much in sea level this much time ago? Exams are multiple choice. The final was 100 questions, I don't remember for the midterm. This class was a struggle. Going to lecture felt pointless because when I wasn't bored to death, I was struggling to see what his point was as he rambled on and on and on... and on. Yeah. No thanks. I wouldn't do it again. And I hope I passed. And I was so excited to take a class on coasts too.
