He's awesome! Lots of info on tests. Tests are really hard, go to the help sessions. But lab is so much fun :). He knows a lot & is totally willing to help, just do the labs and study hard.

Comment:

Maybe he changed his teaching style, because I thought he was a great GSCI professor. I didn't even get the book, tests are from the lecture, quizzes are easy if you study right before. Tests aren't too bad...just STUDY!

His enthusiasm is wonderful. I didn't realize how great he was until another prof subbed for him and I wanted to jump out of a window. He really is great. Appreciate teachers like this.

Everything you need to know is on his slides. "Random" pop-quizes which are pretty much ALWAYS on friday morning. Just go to class and study the notes. Best gsci teachter i've had.

I don't understand these complaints, it is an easy class if you just go and take good notes, required no studying for the quizzes and test were not that bad at all, I didn't do much work and got a 97 in the class, just go to class

No matter how much you think you understand the class lecture notes, you will not do well on the tests. somehow he contrues everything on the tests so you have no idea what you are answering. seems nice but i loathe this class and the professor - avoid!!!

Comment:

I think his tests are far too in depth for a gened class. His enthusiasm does make the class interesting, but in the end all that matters in a gened class is your grade. Unless you are a science major, you are not going to get an A, probably not a B.

Comment:

never saw someone who loves rocks so much,, is fun to listen to, but by far the worst testing system ever. how he has a 3.1 easiness is beyond me, i have a 3.5 gpa and could barely get better then a 60 on a test n i studied so stay away way to hard.
