Comment:
Very nice man but scattered in his thoughts. Study the handouts and you will do well. The final was the most difficult and the quizzes were relatively easy. The recitations counted for 1/3 of the grade and were easy but attendance was required. Don't bother taking notes.

Incredibly nice man. Class was made 1000x easier w/ the TA Kate Tierney. Instruction was sporadic and indigestible at times, but some classes were fun. Study the review sheets and you'll get an A.

Comment:
He has a lot of knowledge in classical geophysics and geodynamics. A very nice man. He deserves respect. Knows a lot about engineering. A crazy fan of California. A fun guy to hang out with. He has great notes and writes great on the board. Classes are fun. You need to have an idea what he is talking about. If not you can get lost easily!

Prof. is nice enough, but class is ridiculous. Nobody in the class knows what to study. Average grade on midterm was 27 out of 50. Enough said.

We didn not have a book, which made the class hard- at the final the avg. grade in the class was a 60. quizzes and exams were HARD-might be why they had to curve the class a letter grade and a half

This man was so so boring....every class was the worst 2 hours of my life.....the highest final grade in the class was a 89% out of 150 students luckily, he curved it a decent amount. The fact remains he was so boring and he was never prepared which made things rather confusing.

Comment:
sorta unclear, especially when it comes to teaching and then giving quizzes on stuff he supposedly taught. lots of sidetracking, difficult to understand what exactly is the material being taught, and what is just the fluff.

It is pretty hard to get a bad grade if you do what he runs by you. He has interesting stories, lots of experience, and is pretty straightforward.

Horrible at explaining ANYTHING! Do not ask him a question, he will not answer anything that you need to know. Seems to just BS and skate around actual issues.

Terrible terrible old crotchety man...needs to pay attention a little more to people who are really in need of help. Shouldnt leave everything up to the TA. Absolutely repulsive personality and person overall. If you can avoid him, do so at all costs.
