Not a huge fan. Not eager to help unless you come to him weeks in advance. Can be rather sarcastic and condescending. Tests aren't extremely difficult but require a lot of preparation.

Shorten is a great professor and a nice guy. This class is an easy A as long as you show up and do the work assigned. The lectures are mostly powerpoints and you can print them out. They can get kind of boring but some times the class is interesting. Easy grader. Would recommend.

Comment:
Dr. Shorten is a great professor and would recommend him to anyone. He teaches well and there are no tests in Env 102. He only gives 6 quizes (about every 2 weeks) and 5 assignments the whole semester. If you're looking for an easy "I" course/elective, this is a great one!

He is knowledgeable and is helpful when asked questions but it was a fairly boring lecture with boring material. Tests are more difficult then they need to be also.

He is great...if you do the handouts and study them before the test you will do fine. He is a lot of help and really wants his students to learn the information! GREAT TEACHER!

Comment:
This professor started the first class by letting students know that the typical best grade is a "C". Does that make a statement about your poor teaching abilities or your elite attitude? You teach at West Chester buddy- not an Ivy league school. Try getting entry level students excited and confident about the subject matter!

He has good heart and cares about the environment. Probably the best thing that can happen after you take his class is to become more aware of how to be "good." Anyway his ultimate goal is to change your view of the world for better. Enjoy the class and have some coffee.

He does lots of notes online on blackboard so you must print them before class. In fact he does so many it can be over whelming. He's very passionate about what he teaches but sometimes his tests can be a little harder than expected. Overall a good teacher and an easy B.
