Comment:
The tests are soooo detailed. You can watch every lecture video and take notes, but the tests are focused on the most minor details. The stuff he mentions once is what ends up taking the entire test. The lectures are nice and short, which is a plus, but he does joke quite a bit.

Comment:
Hes a funny guy & lectures stay entertaining but very detailed & nitpicky with info. Tests are so detailed its almost impossible to get an A. You need to recall everything he says & presents in lectures. Im a 4.0 student, or at least I was until this class. Ill dread having him again.

Comment:
Although Professor Hippensteel was a very funny professor his class was absolutely awful. You wont pass the tests unless you listen to and memorize every single word in his lectures, he makes them incredibly difficult. I ended with a C in the course and I have a 3.9 GPA. Do not take this class.

I really enjoyed Professor Hippensteel's class. It is not an easy A (average class grade was a 77%) but it was definitely worth taking. He is a funny guy and always throws in a joke or two in lectures, which made them more enjoyable to me. His teaching style is very clear and concise and the class was very organized.

Dr. Hippensteel is phenomenal. He gets straight to his point when teaching and doesn't waste anybody's time. He's funny and there's extra credit opportunities at the beginning of class in the form of quizzes. Also, he bumps up grades for those who attend regularly. Great, respectable professor.

Dr. Hippensteel is a great professor. He made the class entertaining, even when going over notoriously unentertaining material. He's always available and lets students know about office hoursasks for any questions. There's a quiz at nearly every class, so make sure you show up to every class on time and review last lectures notes.

Comment:
Very conceited. Feels as if he is the most entitled professor in the department and does not respect other faculty or even students for that matter. His tests are tough and have lots of trick questions. Not my first class with this professor but will be the last. He was the same way in Paleontology. Has no problem with embarrassing students.

He is great! Funny, informative, best teacher I've had in a while. Quizzes regularly so it's important to go to class. Cheap text to read outside of class questions on test. Test can be a little hard foucsing on small details.

Comment:
Not impressed with him at all. His tests are structured more towards very minute details to see if you listened to every word he said in class, which is difficult due to all his off the wall antics. Of the 4 LBST I had to take I thought I would enjoy this one the most, but ended up hating the class and really got nothing out of it.Very disappointed

Awesome professor! Does alot to lighten the mood in the class and makes going to class fun. Be warned, attendance is not mandatory but has quizzes all the time and they will affect your grade. Highly recommend Hippensteel if you need a LBST class!

He is a great teacher. I loved his oceanography class. He makes the material easy to understand and he's very funny! Go to class, take notes, and reread the notes before the test and you'll do fine. I definitely recommend taking a class with him!

He is an extremely funny guy but breezes through the material way too fast. He teaches off of notes and you have to try to listen to what he's saying and copy notes at the same time. His tests are really hard and a lot of the questions were meant to trip you up. Like I said, nice guy, HARD professor! I dropped it after the 1st test.

very interesting professor. can make the most boring subject interesting. he sometimes pissed me off though when he was moving through notes way too fast. his tests pissed me off also. he would put stuff on the test that he only briefly mentioned in class. wasn't in the notes or anything. i ended up getting an allright grade but i had to study alot

Great guy. Very funny, keeps class interesting with jokes. Pretty easy tests, textbook was not required. Likes to give lots of pop quizzes, but they are generally easy with usually one silly or very easy question. Moves through notes kind of fast so hard to keep up at times. Don't be a Yankees fan lol.

Very funny teacher who made the class interesting. Tests were kind of hard and the quizzes were sometimes tricky and loaded with silly and/or pointless questions.
