Comment:
Really easy lab for the class. The lecture tests were really difficult and hard to do well on. However, if you are trying to fill a requirement for a lab I recommend taking this class. You do have to attend 3 field trips but they aren't too painful and you will get out after an hour and a half for every lab. Overall, zero work outside of class

Really sweet professor! I had no interest in geology before taking the class, and I'm really glad I took it. He genuinely cares for each of his students, and he's funny in a really corny, "dad" kind of way. Not hard at all. I didn't always show up for class, and I still did fine on the tests with only minor studying. Definitely take Hovis!

He tests you on too much of the details he goes over in class or in the text book rather than the bigger picture.

Comment:
Don't take Geology if you're just trying to fulfill a science requirement. He's a pretty nice guy and I'm sure he means the best but the class was pretty ridiculous for intro. The lab required 3 field trips which were all boring. His tests are difficult for some of the very small details he tends to ask about. Avoid this class unless you like GEO.

Guy Hovis is the best professor I've encountered at Lafayette College. If I could be more like one man, it would be him. Great class, I want to take him again.

Comment:
He was very good at lecturing but his class was hard. You have to read every bit of the work assigned in the textbook to do well. Also, he has made the class harder by making sure you remember everything. For example if you have a test on chapter 8, 30% of the test will be from chapters 1-7. Cool class but quite difficult.

Very funny and friendly guy. Livens the class up with lots of corny jokes. His class was extremely interesting, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a science course with lots of hands on field trips and lab work. You really get to know and apply what you learn. Tests are fairly easy, but you really have to know the material to do well.

This class was great. Professor Hovis made the class fun and entertaining with his corny jokes about, well, everything. The tests and labs were easy, the tests being almost entirely multiple choice. I would definately recommend taking this class if you get a chance.
