Comment:
He's so nice, I've never seen him get even slightly frustrated. I found the subject boring though and so did most of the class so no one ended up paying attention and most people ended up getting bad grades on the tests but he always tried bumping our grades up. Just show up to every lab and you'll get a bunch of 100s

Comment:
Goes on tangents and randomly pauses for a really long time. Labs and lectures are easy, just work with the other people at your table. Take notes on the slides and what he says that isn't on the slides. Exams are tough but he allowed notes. He cracked a lot of cheesy jokes and puns that made the class more bearable. Clearly loves what he teaches.

His class is easy to sit through I normals watch Netflix while he lectures. He posts everything on d2L and gives detailed test reviews. He also gives random class "assignments" but its actually so he can take attendance really...

Comment:
Dr. Bos is a great guy. However if you aren't a hands on learner then his class may be difficult for you. Considering this is FIELD geology, you should expect to be active in questioning and observing on field trips. Pay attention when Dr Bos is talking in the field and take notes. Besides that, the lec are just follow ups or prep. No text required

He's a nice guy and the class is an easy A, but if you care about actually learning you're out of luck. He gives no instruction and frequently made powerpoints of notes as he went. Do well on the final paper and none of the other grades matter.

Very cool person. Easy class and easy grader. Just do your work, go to class, and you'll be fine. Textbook requirements arent mandatory, but would recommend since youre probably a geology major. Make sure you know how to do strike and dip!

Nice guy, knows his stuff. Lacks organization/direction. He seems to just make the class up as it goes along. There are assignments laid out, but he gives little to no direction with the assignments. If you are not a Geology/Earth Science Major, he can be really confusing and hard to work with.

Comment:
Bosbyshell's a cool guy, very interested in his field and very intelligent, which shows. Labs are easy, lectures are sort of boring unless you're enthralled with rocks and geological systems. I did learn some interesting things, but if I never have to identify rocks and minerals again, I wouldn't be upset.

I probably only went to lecture about 10 times. He is so easy. All of the tests and quizzes are online, and you have like 3 chances to take each quiz. Labs are super easy, and if you don't know how to do something he will literally do it for you. I couldn't tell you a thing about geology, but i got the class over with and finished with a solid A.

honestly he bored the crap out of me in his class. it is pretty easy although i didnt like all the online tests, because i felt as though he could have been more clear on his teaching. he isnt a bad teacher to take, i just personally wouldnt take him again.

Super chill prof. Do all of the assignments on time and its an easy A. He makes it easy to understand and will help you out if you don't. I only took it as a requirement and not as an interest, but I still liked the class

dont need textbook, just lab manual. He is great! lectures kinda boring, but labs are really interesting/mandatory. Alot of kids kinda talk over him which is rude and he lets it happen which makes class kinda drag on. if you go to his office hours/talk to him after class he'll like you. He has a great memory. really great guy.

AWESOME GUY!! Very down to earth. Easiest class EVER!! You don't need to go to the lectures, just the labs. His exams are ONLINE. He gives you ample opportunity to make things up and really helps you out. Take his GEO 101 instead of BIO or CHEM!!!! YOU ROCK HAL!
