Comment:
Dr. Eder was a decent professor, however, kind of hard to understand. The lecture videos were deleted often to encourage further studying but that didn't really work for my case. Lucky for me, I took meteorology in high school despite the lectures being somewhat pointless. He is also very late when you try to email him but will help when he can.

Comment:
The worst thing was he deleted lectures after the unit quiz. With the lectures deleted, it was harder to go back over and study for the midterm and to check for note accuracy. He also posted videos in moodle, making it difficult to skim through, adjust the speed, or split-screen and take notes online.

Dr. Eder is a great professor. Makes weather interesting and gives you everything you need to achieve. Only gripe is that he can be long winded but he makes up for it in how easy the quizzes and tests are. His fill in the blank notes are clutch.

Super easy class however beware that exams open up on saturdays and close early Monday mornings. I didnt realize exams were on due weekends and they didnt show up in moodle until they opened so I missed the first exam but made high As on everything else and came out of the class with a C. I emailed prof Eder about it and he never emailed me back.

This was such an easy class. If you're looking for a natural science class solely to meet a GEP requirement, this class is a great. The tests and quizzes are all straight from the notes and you can also find a majority of the questions on quizlet. Just watch the lectures and take notes and it's an easy A. Definitely take this class with him.

This class is so easy if you do the bare minimum you'll definitely get an A. All of the tests and quizzes can either be found online or the answers are in the guided notes. He is super chill and gives you several days to take the quizzes and tests. If you're looking for an easy GEP credit definitely take this class!

Quizzes are pretty easy, and you're allowed to look at your notes from the lecture (but most quiz answers can be found online). The tests are more lecture-specific so you definitely have to pay attention to the lectures. Took for natural science credit. The only thing I don't like is he can make some rude remarks and he doesn't answer my emails!

Easy B without doing a ton of work. Tests are not super easy but with some studying you can do okay. Quizzes for every chapter; do them, make 100s, and youll be good. If you want an A you will need to put in some work but this is a great option to get a science credit. Class is actually really fun and interesting if you like to learn about weather.

Easy A class, good teacher but can be boring. Just do the study guide/study the blanks in the notes and you will get 100s on all the tests. TopHat attendance code

Honestly, I barley showed up for class. (TopHat Attendance can be done from home). He is a tough grader and so if you want an A, you need to put in the effort. But a B is pretty easy to achieve. Chapter Quiz answers can usually be found online. Need to do okay on tests or will get a bad grade, test often have specific questions from lectures.

Dr. Eder is a cool guy who is very passionate about what he teaches. He likes showing the weather in Raleigh at the beginning of class which is always a nice way of tying in the material to the real world! The tests are exactly like the study guides, just different questions. You definitely have to study, but if you do you, you'll be fine.

Tried to be funny a little too much and uses a good amount of profanity which seems odd for a professor. Seems passionate about weather and is knowledgeable. Tests are pretty easy to get a B on with like an hour of studying notes. Never used book. You can take participation quizzes from dorm.

Comment:
The class is lecture heavy so it's easy to fall asleep, but you can tell he's passionate about what he teaches and he tries to make it fun. There is a quiz like every two weeks or so and four exams. The final exam is cumulative, but study and you will be fine in this class.

Super passionate about the subject but understands that many people are just trying to fill a gen ed requirement. Is willing to help you out and always shares about weather for the football games :) A very nice man, pretty interesting class. Print out the notes and follow along in class and study a decent amount for the tests and you will be fine.

Easy A. Show up and pay attention to notes and review the practice test before hand and you should have no problem. Does attendance with tophat. He understands most people are just there to fulfill a gen-ed requirement so he tries to keep it interesting. 3 tests and a final, pretty simple.

I was going into this class knowing that I had no interest in the topic, but needed a "Free" natural science elective and it kind of is. His practice tests are basically exactly the same as his actual test. He gives you his lecture notes, just study the notes and the practice exam and you'll be fine. I didn't study that much and ended up with a B+.

Do not buy the textbook. Mine was $50 and I used it one time. Other than that, this class is super easy. You don't have to pay attention in class too much and as long as you study 1-2 nights before the test, you can get an A. Our final was postponed because of snow and so he made it optional. What a homie. He's also super funny so that's a plus.

This class is good if you are just trying to get a science credit. If you study the notes, you'll definitely make an A. His notes are fill in the break and there's never homework, only quizzes every now and then. He's also pretty funny and is passionate about meteorology. He tries to make a lecture as interesting as it can be.

This class is great for business majors. It is useful to get the textbook but you don't need. Overall is lectures are straight from the notes, which he provides and are fill in the blank. He goes over old tests in class the class period before an exam so you have material to study. Test are multiple choice and fairly easy if you study for an hour.

Took Meteorology for a science credit, and I wish I just dropped the course now. I have done all of the homework and never skipped class but I will fail because exams COUNT 80% of your grade. Hated this class with its math and useless lab times that are busy work. I'm just not happy with the grading criteria.
