Comment:
He has such a great reputation, but for what... He is straight up the worst professor i've had (I'm a senior). He basically just makes you do all the work and he doesn't really teach. He just runs through everything really fast. He assigns like 10-20 readings a week for a level 100 class. CHILL OUT. Great guy but a GOD AWFUL professor

He is absolutely hilarious, he makes his students laugh all class and I look forward to going there everyday, If you are an incoming freshman TAKE HIM FOR YOUR FIRST YEAR SEMINAR! I had him for both this and ENV-110, every student should have to take him and I promise you will not be disappointed!!

Awesome person, terrible teacher. His lectures were all over the place and was hard to figure out what the main points were. For every exam he would actually tell you to Google the answers because we wouldn't have talked about it in class. The exam questions were written like we were all experts. Honestly the worst ENV class I have ever had.

Comment:
Borrello is hilarious and every student who goes to Alma should take a class with him. Students come in not caring about the environment at all and come out ready to clean up a superfund site. His lectures are inspirational and really make you care about the topics. He sometimes makes really cheesy puns and laughs at himself.

Comment:
Between him and his wife the class was very unorganized, and requirements were not always clear. Luckily everything was pretty easy so it wasn't too much of an issue. The fact that his wife and he disagreed on things really drove me nuts and a lot of times that would kind of mess me up. he never ever uses Moodle or updates anything

He is a terrible professor. He's too caught up in all of the other things he does on campus to give a care about his actual classes. His material doesn't flow class to class, and his questions on exams don't come from lecture or book. Plus he left the country during finals week. Very frustrating professor.

Coolest professor at Alma College. Even though he's one of the busiest, he will always give you his full attention and all of the time you need with him for classwork help or really anything if he's in a good mood. He's a generous, funny, and an overall exceptional and amazing person.

He's a great teacher who loves to include his humor during lectures. He reminds me of Kip from the movie Napoleon Dynamite.

Awesome! I hate science, but I loved this class! He's one of the funniest people I've ever met! Though the subject can get boring for people who don't have any real interest, Borrello knows exactly when to throw out some insane comment to make you crack up! It was great!

I was NOT interested in science before I took this class. Not my subject. Now it's my favorite class out of my whole seven semesters here. He is funny, interesting, on target, and concise with what he teaches and expects. I haven't fallen asleep once! Think of a cross between Kip Dynamite, Dane Cook, and your best prof ever.
