Comment:
Dr. Deming is a real gem. His class was my favorite I've taken at OU. He is really dedicated to the material and takes a lot of time explaining the context of the history. To set the stage for the history of geology he goes into philosophy, culture, etc. I learned more in this class than anything else I've taken.

Only four tests for the entire semester. Course material is interesting and if you study some and just attend class it's easy to get a good grade. Great class, good professor.

Comment:
Professor Deming is an interesting, outspoken individual for sure. I found the class informative but monotonous (every class is a PowerPoint lecture in which he talks from start to finish). The midterm, final, and attendance grades are the only grades in the class. Also, the final was 170 questions which I found to be quite ridiculous.

Comment:
Dr. Deming lectures as if Geology is the ultimate science, and attempted to lecture us on the incompetence of our Biology department. It might help him to brush up on his biology though. I found a lot of disagreement with the content in his lectures and his feedback on my research paper. I would recommend him to someone I don't like very much.

Tests are straight from powerpoint lectures. 1 midterm and Final. Attendance is 30% of final grade, midterm 30%, Final 40%. If you dont show up you will not pass. Tests are tough even though they come straight from the powerpoints. There is a lot of information to remember, especially for the final. It covers 18 lectures whereas the midterm 6

He still needs to change his clothes but never smelled. Clear about everything. Very interesting. Can be too opinionated but open to suggestions if you have proof in science. Go to class. Grading was very easy.

Do not recommend this class - this professor is "out there". Unable to make eye contact, socially inept, and unable to competently exchange ideas.

Highly recommended. Deming is very dedicated and his lectures are interesting. I learned a lot in this class, and found the material to be fascinating even though I knew nothing about geology before taking the course. The grading is fair, and its not that hard to get an A.

This class is EASY. Go to class, he gives you the questions from the test at the beginning of the semester. My tests were 98, 98, 95, 98. He keeps your interest sometimes, definitely touches on salient topics. I recommend this class for an easy Science.

Um, can you say "change your freaky sweater?" He's sporadic in his presentations and didn't answer questions when asked in my class, insisted on group work but wouldn't be reasonable about setting up an office appointment. Even honors studen
