Comment:

This prof is pretty average but not terrible. It's easy to pass the class if you study. Also keep in mind that he is older so he's corny but he gives extra credit and has the pp on blackboard. I took him in the summer and it was kind of a drag. Oh and the labs were so simple and easy. He reviews everything and tells you all the answers to the labs.

Comment:

He loves geology. He definitely remembers participation. The tests are based off of the PP, textbook, and the pictures in the textbook. Don't leave, extra credit test after each big test resulting in a higher grade. A little time and effort in this class and you will get an A

Comment:

Very eccentric but passionate about his subject. He's very clear with his instructions and is an easy grader. Only negative I can think of is he makes a lot of typos in the packets he assigns for homework and his review sheets, so it makes understanding them a challenge. Take him if you want to pass this class.

Comment:

Scal is a good professor. Like others said he can be a bit nerdy lol. He takes attendance seriously. If science doesn't interest you or just not that good, I don't think this class will be for you. He gives chances for extra credit. Gives a much of review sheets and includes most the questions from there on the test. Purchased the text for nothing.

Comment:

He's very obviously passionate about what he does. Amazingly knowledgeable about what he teaches which makes learning with him really easy. He cuts out any unnecessary material and prioritizes the more important content. His personality is definitely quirky and nerdy, but what do you expect? He's got a great sense of humor if you can understand it.

Comment:

If you're a non science major, take this class. He gives study guides for each test and they are really easy. His lectures really make you understand what hes teaching and hes very entertaining. Great professor. He hates phones though and will fail you during a test if your phone goes off.

He gave 4 tests and dropped the lowest. He worked hard to get us our grades next day. Used the board, clear notes. Quizzes could be tricky, but he gave extra credit and that helped. overall nice. He seems to want students to work, but rewards a good effort. also his review questions are almost like the test, kmow those and your good!

Comment:

He learned student names.- he gave review questions, and his tests reflected the reviews. Usually he answers questions, but some students distract him. we went on a field trip to the Natural history museum, that was okay he is respectful if you are positive. 90% of us liked him

Comment:

He is an easy professor. He gives you a review similar to the test. The course is boring but overall he's a nice guy and gives every student a good grade. The bad reviews are probably from kids who never show up and expect to pass. You should definitely take him cause he is very caring

Comment:

DO not take him all he does is talk non stop and rambles on about irrelevant things. doesnt give a review and tells you to study one thing and doesnt put that on the test. He is also rude. These other reviews were written long time ago so he definitly has changed cause he doesnt care about students. we ask for extra credit and he laughed at us.
