She's a great prof. Very friendly, always there to help. The lab component is hard. The lab final was hard, but the lecture final was really easy!

Very respectful and courteous. The lectures were well presented and organized and she was fair all around. The thing that I personally hated was the lab component. I know she's not in charge, but for those of you who are taking the course, study HARD for the lab midterm and final...HARD!! Good prof...bad lab...

Comment:
She is the most normal. standard, and forgetable prof. Her lectures were straight from the powerpoint slides so i didnt attend class occassionally. Dont sit at the back because she wont turn up her mic for you. The class was harder than expected. The practice midterm/final are not good indications of the real exams. the real ones are much harder!

She is an amazing prof! By far the best professor I have had in my five years in university. She makes the material easy to understand and fun to learn. If you need an option, take a class with her and see what teaching in university should be like!

I took this course in the Spring. If you attend the lectures and do the readings it's an easy course. She uses PowerPoint for her lectures and makes it available on her website. She explains things really well.

great prof! knows her stuff! although she can get stuck on some complicated questions! But I think it's more because she doesn't want to go into detail that would not be tested, so she tries to find a simplier answer for us!

Good teacher. Geology 209 is a great filler class for people who need one.
