Comment:
The best professor at UT, imo. I have taken every single class he offers. He inspired me to double major in Geography and Latin American Studies. I can rage about him forever. He is a true gem and character. Fantastic energy, hilarious dad humor. Hard to make an A in his classes unless you take notes and attendance very seriously. Worth it though!

Doolittle is very entertaining which makes lecture go by quickly. He cares for his students, but you wouldn't know that unless you went to talk to him in office hours. His tests are complex and make you think so they can be quite difficult, however his lectures are interesting if you enjoy the subject.

Comment:
Professor Doolittle is really funny, caring and keeps lectures informative and fun. You can't skip class because for every four absences you get a letter grade drop. Tests are HARD, you have to study, focus more on the lectures (He provides them online) and focus on the main idea of the readings he mentions during the lectures. Awesome professor.

I love Dr. Doolittle. We had only 3 exams (no final exam), and one critical assignment. some of the questions on the exams were a little tricky in my opinion, but over all the exams were not difficult (only 33 multiple choice questions) .

Comment:
I've taken several of Dr. Doolittles classes and they are all super informative and not too difficult. I would 100% recommend field techniques (seniors only). You get to be outside and work independently with groups almost everyday. No reading required, no tests. Very independent though, get ready to make your own decisions and question yourself.

If you have the opportunity to take Dr. Doolittle, do it! He is a great professor that truly cares about the subject he teaches. He's hilarious and I was never bored while in class. Only three tests (no assignments or homework), so you just need to study hard for those and you'll do fine, 10/10, great guy.

Dr. Doolittle is a fantastic professor. Lectures were informative, organized, and often entertaining. He has the best sense of humor. However, tests are very difficult and requires a great amount of studying. Overall a fun course.

Hands down one of the best professors I have ever had the opportunity to learn from, he truly loves what he teaches. His lectures are well organized plus he is hilarious. His exams are straight from his lectures, no book required, attendance is a must. I have taken him for 2 other courses, and he was as amazing as he was for this course, GRG339K.

Dr. Doolittle is the best professor I have had at this university. His lectures were well organized, informative, and entertaining. He has a great sense of humor. However, the test were not easy with answer choices being quite tricky. You must study in order to do well on them. Overall a great class and professor, just study hard.

Dr. Doolittle is great because he's one of those guys that's really interested in what he's teaching so his enthusiam gets you going. He never makes you feel awkward about asking questions, and has a great sense of humor. He keeps the class engaged, not by calling on people, but by throwing in personal stories and jokes. No projects, only 3 tests.

Simply the best professor I ever had. He loves Longhorn Baseball and Puffy Taco's in San Antonio. Great sense of humor, talk's the talk and walk's the walk-Vietnam Veteran.

Once you get past some of that 'ol sarge' exterior he is great. He is one of the best teachers in that department. You have to study or you won't do well. My major is geography and there aren't a lot of easy courses in this department. BTW, he loves longhorn baseball.

His classes are not "blow off"....If you really want to LEARN Geography, take a class with Prof. Doolittle. He is a great professor, but he doesn't mess around. His tests are difficult, but if you actually STUDY, you'll do well.

He looks like a sheriff but is a pretty awesome man. Unfortunately, his tests are way specific but his curve helped me pass. He's really interesting and the reading assignments are good. Field trips were not so fun--he's on German time, but nicer.
