There's a lot of material but if you show up to class everyday and study before exams you'll be fine. The exams are very fair and none of the assignments are made to trick you.

Comment:

I used the textbook on the first night of class and to study briefly for the final. Beyond that, never used it because her lectures cover the material. She is a very good teacher, very energetic and dynamic. The labs are sometimes boring and long, but those are taught by instructors, not her. Nothing against them, it was because it was Fri PM Lab

Not only is Dr. Gardulski passionate and knowledgable about earth science, but she is an incredible teacher. I took the course to fulfill a science req and ended up loving the subject. She writes out all the notes on the board beforehand making it easy to follow her lecture and know whats important. If you want a great professor, take her course.

The only things covered in the exam are those presented in class. Textbook is unnecessary. No homework. Labs/fieldtrips are fun. Very very nice professor, really knows her stuff, very helpful and likeable. Would definitely recommend!

I love professor Gardulski and the way she teaches. She is straight forward and very organized. The material she covered was very interesting and she obviously loves what she teaches. The exams can be difficult and you really have to have an in-depth knowledge of the material in order to do well.

Amazing class! Now want to be a EOS major. Not very hard and reading is not mandatory at all. Study for tests and you will be fine. She is a great lecturer and interesting.

Prof Gardulski is amazing. Sweetest lady I know and took pictures of our 80-ish person class individually holding signs with our names so she could study and get to know us. Her lectures are SUPER organized and all notes are on the board before class. Also great at office hours for extra help. Do keep up with the class though or else exams are roug

I loved taking classes with her! I took two the first two years of school. Her class is very organized and flows easily. Lectures are pretty mandatory but she teaches the material so well that its not burdensome to attend class. She loves and cares about the students in her class and goes out of her way to learn the name of everyone in her classes.

Comment:

Anne is an excellent prof. All notes are written on the board before class, and are clear and informative. If you attend class every day, and take consistent notes, you can do well in the class. Anne is helpful and available outside of class as needed. Labs for class are engaging, and ~7 of the labs are field trips. Overall, one of the best profs.

Comment:

Intro to Oceanography was really interesting, I'm glad I took it. Professor Gardulski is amazing, she's incredibly nice, incredibly knowledgable, and perfectly organized. I wish there had been more homeworks or quizzes, the final is 45% and cumulative, so that was a little scary! Lots of info to know, so overwhelming, but overall a great class.

Comment:

This class was not the easy A that I had expected, even though I studied hard and attended class/took notes. Lots of material and a lot of reasoning/inference type logic. However, Gardulski is an excellent professor, EXTREMELY organized, and EXTREMELY knowledgeable. Lectures are well structured. No official homework, labs are quite involved.

Comment:

Do not take this course to fulfill your science requirement. It is hard, and will occupy far more of your time than it is worth. Gardulski is a good teacher and so are the lab leaders, but the kids who succeed in this class are engineers and geo majors. I am writing to humanities/social science kids - be warned.

Comment:

If you do the readings and attend class, you'll do great. Anne says it's up to you whether you read before or after class, but I found that at the pace she teaches, it helps to read before. She's very understanding and sweet, and the whole department is pretty laid back.

Very organized, always willing to help individually outside of class, made geology actually kind of interesting. Great teacher, and her lecture format and notes are perfect.

The class is incredibly easy for engineers since she simplifies it for the people who don't have a firm grasp on basic science. Assignments are clear, and tests are fair.
