He is a great teacher really cares about teaching the subject. But if you are looking for an easy A I would not recommend this class. His test are very hard if you don't study. You have to memorize 12 diagrams for the test. Lectures never go with his test.

The only hard thing about this class are the exams. The exams are figures that take several hours to memorize. The lecture is useless & boring, he just reads off of the PowerPoint. All other assignments are online. The lab is easy, they walk around and offer help.

He offers several extra credit trips that are pretty cool. The lectures are over powerpoints. The tests are just memorizing graphs.

Lectures don't really do much to help you in the course. Mostly out of class studying. Not hard, just time consuming. Be prepared for lots of memorization.

Professor Grozsos is a great professor. The test are all sketches and they aren't that hard. Definitely take advantage of the extra credit field trips they are fun, and worth 35-40 extra credit point and all you have to do is attend them. Lectures are boring, but you can easily get an A.

Helpful teacher. His tests are just over sketches that our in the book so all you do is memorize 16 of them and he tests you over a random 3 of them. Not a bad class

Very easy teacher. Likes to talk a lot about his "personal experiences" but if you suck up for his story time hes very easy and very willing to give extra credit. Easy A class. Dont buy book. Waste of 100 bucks. All tests are based on quizes and quizes are based on notes. Reccomend if you need an easy A.

Comment:
Very passionate about geology. Can be an butthole at times. There is online quizzes due every week. Yes the tests are only 3 concept sketches but you have to study 16 different sketches and he picks 3 random ones. Also you have only up to a week to study for it. The final requires A LOT of studying. Have to be willing to put in the work.

Comment:
This was a transition course (it was partially online). He could never keep up with his own assignments, which worked in our favor because he ended up giving us about 7 free 100s. He was an amazing teacher, but he couldn't define where his teaching ended and the online portion began. Tests were extremely easy, and he gives out study guides.

He was fairly easy and lenient on your assignments. If you need and A let him know ahead of time. He is great at willing to help you get your grade you need.

Took Dr. Groszos for both Geology and Geography and definitely enjoyed both classes. The workload is definitely reasonable, attendance is not mandatory, and he gives you study guides for the test. He's also just a cool dude in general. Highly recommend!

You must take this class! The tests are 3 sketches. He gave us TONS of extra credit. You don't have to actually show up for class to pass, but there were days that he would give extra to the people who came.

Dr. Grozsos was absolutely amazing. He really loves to teach geology so he's extremely passionate about his work and he really conveys it to his students. He's always willing to help you, and if you come to class there is the occassional extra credit. Also, we were able to go on three extra credit field trips.

Great teacher, he is definitely in love with geology. All the notes are online and if you study them well then you can make an A. The labs are very simple too. He does not take attendance after the first week but make sure you go to the quizes bc they add up to a test grade at the end of the semester.

Not a bad class at all. I had tests from his previous classes and they were the same questions. You don't have to attend class. He's kind of a nerd because he loves Geology so much. I only went on quiz and test days and still got an A.
