very informative and a great class, that being said you gotta attend class. supposedly an "easy" class, but that's only true if you take notes during lectures. i didn't pay attention in class thinking everything would be on blackboard. i got rocked.

Comment:

Rick is a genuinely nice guy who is passionate about the mundane topic he teaches. You will learn more about rocks than you will ever want to know, but it is a good class for non science majors who need a science credit. Tests are pretty difficult and you have to read the book and study lecture notes to do well. field trip is pretty cool.

Comment:

The prof claims this is one of the most important classes you could take at Cornell - and I cannot agree more. A lot of the things learned in this course will become part of my common sense. Rick is extremely approachable, friendly and clear. Love this guy! There's a lot of reading, but the book is interesting and helpful.

Comment:

Geology was a good class with prof. allmendinger. He is very approachable, and really wants his students to do well. One paper, two prelims, one problem set and a final - not difficult, easy to get help. Really like the professor, he was good. A lot of reading, can be dry if your interest level is low. Keep up on readings! It piles up!

Comment:

He's really passionate about his subject. His notes and lectures are very interesting topic wise, but in the beginning his speech may seem monotone. The prelims are very specific. You really need to understand concepts as well as details. 2 prelims. One paper. One problem set. Al ot of reading!

Comment:

Such a nice guy--really approachable and answers any questions you have. Really enthusiastic about what he does--mountain research. His lectures are long but interesting. Get ready for his tests--they're frickin' hard!! Read every word and look at every graph in the book if you want to do well on his tests.

good class, fair amount of work. rick makes you think! field trips get to be not so much fun when it starts snowing though, but it's worth it.
