Dr Dodson is a good guy. He is very very intelligent, however he expects you to LEARN from him. DO NOT skip class, read your stuff, and you'll do fine. His tests are tough and for intro classes there is no homework.

AMAZING PROF! I missed around 6 classes (due to life issues) and still managed a C due to my LOVE of his class, his teaching, and him in general. He is a great teacher! Pay attention in class for the exams! I only wish he was my adviser, he is a great man and helped me network with people in my field. LEARN FROM HIM ALL YOU CAN!!!

Cool guy, but his work is difficult. Gives plenty, PLENTY of homework so that you dont have to rely on your test grades. Willing to take the extra step to help you IF your willing to help yourself.

Dr. Dodson always gives his students an opportunity to receive help in and out of class. His introductory classes are easy and the only homework is to read the book. His upper level courses such as Geomorphology require a lot more obviously.

By far, this man is one of the greatest professors out there! He is hard and demanding but you will come out of the major with a secure knowledge base to get the career you want. Dont look for any special treatment outside of the classroom...he is there to teach not be your "buddy".
