She's pretty unorganized, so that was a little frustrating, but overall is was a fine class. She's super nice, enthusiastic, and really knowledgable. I definitely had to work to maintain a good grade!! I also took this class as a hybrid, so attendance was important!!

Comment:

This teacher was not worth my money, she rarely brought up any important info for homework or tests, basically had her helper do all the work which is not how a teacher should run a class, and her study guides purposefully leave out important information because she expects you to write down every single little thing, we aren't geology majors.

Comment:

Although Cheryl was an outstanding teacher, she seems to be entirely unaware that not every student is a prospective geologist. Along with that, she might as well change the class name to ROCKS. You spend most of your time learning about rocks and identifying them rather than the processes behind their creation.

Comment:

Took this class as a minimester and overall really enjoyed Prof. Resnick. She seemed to legitimately care about her students and kept the class interesting. Obviously since the class was a minimester the coursework was pretty heavy but she also skipped over parts of the class that were unimportant. She also offers extra credit on every lecture exam

Comes to class ready to teach and explains in simple terms to help understand new or difficult concepts. Need to be able to study well to get good grades, because there is a lot of material to know. Not too many quizzes or exams, but a lot of homework. Approachable for any questions. Overall, would recommend taking another class from her.

Comment:

Had Mrs. Resnick and she wasn't bad, but Mr. Stermer did come sub for her a few days and I wish I would have taken it with him instead. She assigns a lot of homework, mostly online, so be sure to check blackboard or you might miss something. To see your tests and what you got wrong you have to meet with her outside of class which can be a hassle.

Comment:

This class just needs a lot of attention and work. There are a lot of online assignments that can easily be forgotten if you aren't on top of it. Her test are easy if you study well. Her study guides provide the majority of the material necessary for the tests. She offers many extra credit opportunities and is very willing to help her students.

Comment:

She definitely knows what she's talking about and is very educated in Earth Science. You can tell she has a passion for what she does. However, she assigns WAY too much homework and expects you to love it too even if you are just taking it for a gen ed class. The labs were long and difficult. My lab grade was so bad I ended with a C in the class.

Comment:

Resnick knows what she's talking about and can sometimes teach as if she's talking to someone else that knows a lot about the subject but quickly realizes it and gets back on track. She's very passionate about geology and that always made me more excited about geology. Her tests are very hard so be prepared.

Too many whiners on this site! Welcome to college, children! Cheryl is thorough, passionate, and helpful. She is fair. She is not easy. You are given all the tools to be successful but you must put in the time. You will know and understand the subject if you do. Quit whining and do the work!

Comment:

Great teacher but very tough and has high expecation. The material was interesting and valuable but I would not recommend taking this class as a semester course b/c it is VERY fast paced! Use note cards and set aside a lot of time to study for quizzes and exams! Also, don’t expect to get out of class early.

Comment:

I would not recommend her to anyone! She was not helpful at all. I received a C in her class, when some of my friends got A's simply because they had different lecture professors. She makes the material harder than it needs to be, and wants to focus on every little thing rather than the big picture. After all we are all not geology majors...

Comment:

BUY THE POWERPOINT NOTES & READ THE CHAPTERS. It will help immensely. Listen up on the 1st day, she's straightforward & gives good advice for the course. Made me way more into the class than I expected to be. Its a lot to know but if you read the chapters & pay attention in class you're good. Participate in class, don't be afraid to ask Q's!

She is a very knowledgeable person. She is extremely passionate about the subject matter. This is a difficult course, if you don't pay attention. The test are difficult. She is a very relaxed person, if you have ANY questions. Ask, she will defiantly answer them. Just pay attention, and get the Power Point packet!

Comment:

Professor Resnick LOVES sharing her knowledge of earth science. She's not just there to get paid, but she's there to teach, so she expects respect, as she should. In lab, if you're confused, just ask her! In lecture, as long as you don't miss a day, you'll know everything that goes on. STUDY STUDY STUDY. You won't pass if you don't.

Comment:

This course was very difficult for me. I needed this course for a Gen. Ed. requirement. I had not interest in it. I ended up dropping it. However, Professor Resnick is awesome. She is very helpful and kind. She is just a good person in general. She is willing to help and talk over things at any given time. I recommend her to everyone.

Comment:

Prof Resnick, man I tell you what she was a little uppity, always late to class, but dont let a student be late she deducts points. She refused to review because she had already lectured on subjects. I mean we are not all geology majors. Also how do you not review for a comprehensive final that had no study guide? Grading took forever as well.
