He is a cool and funny dude but he gives waaaaay too many essays and it was every week. If you want to pass the class final expect to write about 20 pages at least.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! You will be drowning in homework . He is not understanding at all, he doesn't care that the workload is to heavy he offers to help but gets frustrated if you don't understand right away. Seems nice at first but has a short temper.

Comment:
One of THE best professors I have had the privilege of taking. He welcomes questions, and you don't have to have a specific question. You can have a subject you're confused about and he'll practically re-explain the whole lecture again for you. Very caring towards his students. He'd always ask me if I was too stressed with the course load.

Insanely good at what he does, he really knows his stuff. BUT, his assignments are insanely long and you get hw every single night including weekends. Typed paragraphs, pretty much essays are due a couple times a week. Far too much work for what it's worth. He's very helpful if you reach out to him, even at midnight. He's always willing to help.

Hardest teacher I had in college. I work hours on his assignments yet he still grades like i didn't even try. He makes himself available for questions and such but when you ask him a question, he will revert it back to you, asking what YOU think and will not answer your question. I strongly do not recommend him.

Comment:
Very interesting class, I actually did like what was being taught. It was all very interesting. However, the crap load of homework, bad breath, and the 30 page essay was just not worth it. I ended up withdrawing. His expectations of his students are absolutely horrible. He expects everyone to love rocks as much as he does

Very intense workload! You will learn something-if you apply yourself. Eric is enthusiastic, helpful (especially if you visit him during office hours), and serious when it comes to natural disasters. This class is about YOUR risk of volcanoes, mass wasting, tsunamis, and earthquakes.

Comment:
I took this class to fulfill a science requirement. I did not realize how passionate he is when it comes to geology. He expects his students to be just as passionate about rocks as him. If you're not interested in geology, don't take his class even if it's to fulfill a science requirement. Workload was a little on the high side.

Class was not boring. He was always on time for class and enthusiastic. He would always offer help. Its a hard class though, but well worth it. Professor Baer was always nice too, which is a big plus for me.

Instructor was not at all easy. If you like not having a life and homework everyday including the weekends this is your class. He is very passionate about volcanoes so know your stuff while talking to him. otherwise he will look at you like your a complete fool.

Comment:
This mans class is no walk in the park, he grades pretty harshly, but you actually learn something about geology, if you're not passionate about geology, don't take it, the work load's extreme. Hes passionate about what he teaches and you can retake quizzes and redo work too within the week, so theres room to make mistakes.
