Comment:

Ron genuinely cares about his students, is really knowledgeable about what he teaches, and is always willing to help. His lectures are easy to follow and what he asks is reasonable. If you put the time in, you will do fine. There is really nothing bad I can say about him as a professor or a person.

Comment:

He loves what he teaches, and just wants you to learn. I didn't understand a lot of things at first, but upon asking I found a more than sufficient explanation. One of the best classes I've taken, and one of the best professors I've had.

Unfortunately this was a mandatory class, so i didn't hold much interest in it, but Dr. Ron Cole is a wonderful professor, he loved the subject and tried his best to get people to participate. And above all, he is an extremely nice guy :) I may not want the class again, but I'd love to have him as my professor again.

Professor Cole is a great guy. Transfer students got stuck in this class, but he made it an enjoyable experience for everyone. Grading and workload was more than reasonable, and due dates were always flexible. Overall a great, down to earth guy and a good class!

Comment:

Really great professor! His FS 102 class was really interesting and thought provoking-the discussions often dealt with todays environmental problems, not just minerals. Be sure to do ALL of the assignments-don't blow them off.Tough grader; sometimes loses your assignment, but won't count it late. He lets you know what he expects of you as a student

fun, interesting, creative class. Ron Cole told a ton of great stories and made rocks interesting! I would totally recommend this prof if you need your lab credit or if you are interested in geology at all. He kicks butt!

Comment:

Take this class for a grade, even if you are a humanities/social science major, I took the class credit/no credit and I just got an A on the 2nd exam (b on the first) and I havent been putting effort into the class at all. I dont know if he is harder for a "real" science class but I assume so. He also knows his stuff and is a good lecturer.

he was ambiguous to the extreme and the class, overall, seemed pointless. geology professors should not be teaching us how to write.

Prof. Cole is awesome! He is a nice guy, too. His class is usually pretty fun and engaging, but I...didn't learn much about Geology.

Very nice guy, but if geology is not your thing, I wouldn't take him. I didn't click with the material and did worse than I should have (B+). But without doing work EVER it wasn't that bad...

Real nice guy. Not interested in geology but he made the class as interesting for non-majors as possible. He knows his stuff and is all around helpful and intelligent. Reccomended.
