Monty really cares to make a connection with his students and is overall a pretty easy grader. As long as you get your work done you'll do fine.

I LOVE MONTY but he gives so many unnecessary homework assignments that are redundant and annoying. Luckily, they don't take long to complete (usually), and he seems to be an easy grader. Discover Week was awesome with Monty as our professor and he's genuinely just a super nice guy. So glad he's head of the environmental science department!

Monty rules. Fun teacher, committed to the students. His courses usually cover some in depth stuff so they are not easy, but you get a good education from him.

Monty is just a good guy, always willing to help. He is the perfect teacher to help with the difficult transition from high school to college, especially if you are new to Chicago. He has such a wide knowledge of Chicago history, it's amazing! The class is interesting and immersion week is fun. You read a great book, Devil in the White City.

I had Monty for Discover Chicago City on a Lake. He is a great teacher who really enjoys what he teaches. He has a great sense of humor, and seems genuinely concerned with helping the freshmen in his Discover class adjust to college. His class was not easy, but I learned a ton about Chicago! I highly recommend this professor!

Comment:
I took him for Discover: City on a Lake. This is by far the hardest discover class of all the Honors discover's. The work given is way too much than it should. Very few will get A's as he feels teachers and professors grade too easily these days. I was interested in what he had to say, but the difficulty of the ENTRY LEVEL class made it unbearable.

He is an incredibly nice person, as well as incredibly helpful. Does a good job of making the material easy to understand, esp. for those like me who are non-majors. His lecturing can get very dull, however, but if you just need to fulfill the science requirement, it's an easy A or B without much work. And I did learn a decent bit too ;)

He is by no means easy. He is a very educated man, he knows a lot but he does not know how to explain himself well, and repeats himself. But like I said he is very smart and knows a lot about everything

If you need to take the HON lab requirement take it Environmental Science with Montgomery! The class was a lot of fun, the weekly quizzes are easy if you do the reading. Lab component was actually fun, better than the other sciences. Responds to emails quickly and is very helpful out of class. He gives in-depth study guides too.Highly recommended!

nice guy. there to help if you are confused.class was A LOT of work..a ridiculous amount for a 200 level class, and although I enjoyed the subject, I still felt overwhelmed at times. Essay/short answer tests and quizzes made things even harder. I did well in the class, but if you are going to take him know that you have to buckle down and work.

Nicest prof. you'll ever meet. Lectures could be a bit dull, but overall I really enjoyed the class and learned a lot. Very helpful. If you do the study guide, you will do fine on the tests. Only downside was a huge group project that ended up being a huge pain although the subject was interesting. Highly recommended though!

His tests are the hardest I have ever taken! He's very vague on what he expects. Midterm and Final were ALL written!!! The workload for the class is ridiculous for a gen-ed. Find another class to take, this one is not worth the effort.

Take his classes. He is hard but possibly one of the most amazing professors i've ever had. I'm awful at ALL sciences and he was there to help me whenever it was needed. He grades bsed on how hard you work in the class not neccisarily if you are the most knowledgable in the science field. If your willing to work you won't be disappointed.

He is one of the most passionate professors I've encountered, but very difficult (tons of material). He should not be teaching intro level classes, for non-majors. Tests are very difficult and long, lectures are very in-depth. But he is understanding, and will help you in any way he can. Do not take him is you're not willing to try!
