professor douglass is a super nice guy, he makes jokes in class, and he is overall really genuine. all lectures are posted, it isnt that hard of the class, it is weekly canvas quizzes, 2 midterms and a final.ENVR1200 2025-12-10 00:26:25 +0000 UTC
DO NOT RECCOMEND!! this class was easily the worst decision I've made so far at northeastern. I found the professor to be nice but the exams and homeworks are quite excessive/difficult for a 1000 level course. I should have dropped this class as soon as one of the first days he said that the average grade for an intro class was a c+ or b-.ENVR1110 2025-04-17 02:14:30 +0000 UTC
I was a business major taking this for NUPath and as a class I don't recommend it for others taking it for a similar reason. Though, Professor Douglass was super awesome. I was struggling a bit at the beginning of the course but I showed up to his office hours and he was super helpful. Class is only graded on tests and quizzes though which is toughDYNAMICEARTH 2023-05-09 13:18:09 +0000 UTC
AMAZING PROFESSOR! Definitely one of the best at NU. His lectures are funny and super helpful. Although the tests and the quizzes can be very hard at times, the content aligns with what is on the test. Overall awesome professor as we cares about the topic as well as the students!ENVR1101 2023-04-29 05:55:09 +0000 UTC
An amazing Professor. His gives a lot of quizes but they're on blackboard and you can use the class' notes to take them, which he posts after each lecture. There is a final essay, which you would work on while the semester goes on. He is very interesting, creative, smart and funny which helps endure a 3 and half hour lecture. I would recommend him.PHY101 2014-11-22 20:54:50 +0000 UTC
if you show up to class and take notes, your golden. no need for the textbook. 3 tests that with a little studying you'll do fine. 10 online quizes that are a breeze. def likes to help his students so take this classDYNAMEART 2009-12-02 15:46:14 +0000 UTC
Global Climate Change was a really accessible science class, and Douglass is one of the best professors I've had. Understanding, interesting, passionate, clear, available (for student appointments), and funny. Great professor.ENVU116 2009-04-13 19:11:26 +0000 UTC
loves what he does and loves teaching about it. enthusiastic and very helpful if you don't understand something. you probably won't need the book, but it's a good backup if you miss anything. definitely recommend him.ENV200 2008-12-21 21:22:24 +0000 UTC
Great guy, likes to make corny jokes and then laugh at them. hardly went to class and still made it out with an A-HNRU206 2008-04-16 22:21:50 +0000 UTC
took him for global climate change. weekly online quizzes. not too hard. barely used book, very interesting and doesn't shove global warming down your throat, only talked about that last part of class and he admitted there was a lot to learn about it....great guyGEO200 2008-04-02 08:38:28 +0000 UTC
Certainly one of the better professors I've had. Clear, helpful, enthusiastic, non-mandatory attendance, and he has sense of humor. High fives all around for Douglass.HNR206 2008-03-20 14:32:07 +0000 UTC
Excellent prof. Quizes and exams are fair and he gives practice exams to work on. His notes are excellent. DO NOT buy the book unless you want it for ref or if youre a geo maj. You dont need the book bc of his notes. Go to class though so you get the notes. This is one of the best classes ive taken. You will learn a lot and retain useful info.ENVU200 2007-12-03 20:24:55 +0000 UTC
Awesome Professor!Class is very interesting and isn't too hard as long as you pay attention. Douglass is an amazing guy, very kind and helpful...not too bad on the eyes either ;) I loved this class, and recommend taking it.GEOU200 2007-11-12 18:41:19 +0000 UTC
Douglass is a good professor, I never even read the textbook, put in an average amount of effort and I got a B so it isn't that hard. Make sure you attend class, his notes are really good and help a lot and w/o you will not be a happy camper! Remember to take the online quizzes and go see him for extra help...DYNEASECT 2006-12-19 10:54:01 +0000 UTC
