One of the best professors I've had the priviledge to be in class with. Outstanding individual. He and his contemporary at the time, Dr. Rock opened so many doors for me. Thanks to both of them!

Great easy-going guy. Wants everybody to understand the material and get good grades. Doesn't care if you're just taking geo as a gen ed, his class still teaches you stuff.

JVA was awesome- our final project involved a song about geology. A funny prof who understands the live of college students, even the hungover ones.

He is great at what he does and keeps you awake even in those early classes. And if you are a heavy sleeper the slides are a nice nap!

JVA is an awesome prof! Doesn't have boring lectures, he's hilarious, and he knows we're lazy and lets us turn in our work later.
