This was the hardest class I have ever taken. I was pretty interested in the topic but he ruined it for me because he had the hardest assignments and wasn't very approachable to discuss difficulties with.

Comment:
Very approachable. Lectures only, which at times were hard for me to follow. Always willing to help his students out. Uses visuals each class. Tests are hard, but totally possible if you study, read the books, and either seek his help or use the internet when you don't understand the lecture.

Comment:
Dr. Brice is a hard grader, but his curve is enormous. %40 is a D. I mean, come on, you can know less than half the stuff and still pass. Anytime you need him, he's available--more often than not handing you a cup of coffee while you go over the facts.

Comment:
Unless you are a geology major, I don't recommend taking him. He's a really great teacher and knows his stuff and cares about what he teaches BUT he teaches at a grad school level. Be willing to give up your entire social life if you take him.

He was my Astronomy teacher back in 1975! I thought he was an excellent instructor back then - very helpful and willing to take extra time with those of us who were clueless.

Comment:
Nobody cares about his students more than WRB. He expects the most of his students, and grades accordingly. Only professor I know of to stop by the labs at 11pm weeknights and Sunday afternoons to see if there is anything he can help his students with.

This is what tenure gets ya! His "accomplishments" are not as great as he would have you believe. (I know, tried to use his stuff for a grad research proj--its bogus!)
