Comment:

He made a boring class unbearable! He made it too challenging for those of us who don't want to become Geologists. I later took a Phys. Geography class and loved it. It's all about the teacher, and he ain't it!

Boring but very cool and helpfull. He realizes that every student is not a geography/geology major and will assist the student with any "dumb" question.

Comment:

SO BORING! That class put me to sleep a good 5 times because of his very boring voice and the material! Tests are hard but the only good thing is the final is just a field trip. Avoid if you can, but if you can't prepare to study a lot!

Comment:

I hated this class. His lectures were boring and went no where. The tests were horrible. I listened in class and read the book, but still did bad on the tests. His tests were hard and unclear. Not recommended.

Not to interested in the class but teacher is nice. Willing to joke around a little. Very willing to help. Kind of hard to hear sometimes so sit close. I would take him again if I had to take one of his classes.

I thought that the class' information was aweful, but he was willing to help whenever he can. His tests are kind of hard, but if you don't understand he is willing to work with you.

Hate Science, didn't hate his class. Got a "B." Didn't read too much, but did lots of flash cards off of lecture notes. Final was hard to memorize places according to what they were next to... Lyman was nice & funny.

Professor does care about students. However, lectures can be EXTREMELY confusing if you are not following closely. Can be very strict on certain class procedures.
