Comment:
Be sure to check the Mastering website for homework every day, because you aren't notified if homework is available and it's sometimes posted only a day before it's due. He ended up dropping our lowest quiz and lab score at the end of the semester. For the labs, triple check your work.

Comment:
I took Geology online with Dr. Puckette. He was always quick to respond to my emails, and despite being terrible at science, I made it out with an A. If you study the test reviews, you should make an A or B on the exams. The book sucks in relation to the weekly quizzes/homework, so I relied on quizlet heavily.

He LOVES geology and knows so much about it. Very fun class. Attendance is required for lab but not lecture. however, when attendance is low, he gives quizzes for credit (and gives every answer to you). Sad this class is over actually because it really was very fun!!

He works hard to make the lectures interesting. Loves what he does. Attendance isn't mandatory but he will regularly give a quiz or do a workbook page, especially if a lot of people have left class or attendance is especially low that day. Tests are 50 questions and if you study and pay attention in class you can get a good grade

Comment:
Dr. Puckette is the coolest guy and he loves what he teaches. Attendance is not mandatory, but there are in-class activities (that he gives all the answers to) that he does at random. The lab isn't the most fun, but it was bearable. Take him- you won't regret it. The exams are very similar to old exam and the study guides tell you all you need.

This was an online class that was very demanding. The labs were sometimes unclear and the tests rarely cover the material covered in PowerPoint.

Very good teacher. Loves what he does and tries to teach it clearly to his students. Not a very fun subject but he makes it easy. Quizzes each week but he gives you the answers. Go to lab, it isn't that hard. Overall loved the teacher.

Great teacher. Fun, caring, but perhaps his best quality is his interest in the subject. Dr. Puckette loves geology, and really attempts to make his students feel the same way. While it wasn't the most interesting class I've ever had, he still makes it fun. Great teacher, you are blessed to have him.

Dr. Puckette is a really nice guy and tries to make the class interesting by adding humor. He gives attendance quizzes but gives you the answers. Tests are very similar to old exams. Lab is easy and the TAs help a lot. Overall, good class if you are looking for a 4 hour science.

Dr. Puckette is a really nice guy. His class isn't too difficult, just study. He'll give pop quizzes (that he gives the answers to) and answers for the tests that you'd only know by going. Lab was difficult for me, and it didn't seem to really sync up with classwork too much. But for the most part I enjoyed his class a lot more than I expected to.

I had Dr. Puckette for intro to geology and he was a great teacher. The tests were fairly easily as long as you studied and going to class wasnt manadorty but he did have surprise quizs that were just effort grades. He went over the quiz answers in class! he is a great teacher and i suggest this class to everyone that needs that science credit :)

he did a good job explaining the information. tests were not hard but you have to study. lab was not too hard and the GA was willing to help. gives random quizes in lecture but gives the answers during class. good teacher. the the information is learnable for someone not interested in science and just needs the credit

Loves Loves the material he is teaching. Lectures are right out of the notes which are right out of the book. Tests are 50 Qs and get specific on details. He likes to put questions on the test that you would only know if you were in class. Easy class quizzes. Awesome person.

Puckette makes class fun, his test are multiple choice and he give quiz grades for attendance. His lectures are extremely unorganized, and lab makes this class a little bit hard.

The professor is hilarious - makes the class as much fun as he can. Quizes are attendence. Tests are all from the notes and previous exams he gives you. Study hard for the tests and you will be fine. Lectures are a little disorganized, so note taking can be tough, but not horrible. Overall, a good class to take.
