Comment:

While you do have to show up to class in case of a homework assignment(which she will have you do in class and help with), you are captivated by her excitement. She loves what she teaches, and it shows. She cares about the students. Also very interactive and fun. Future students should enjoy her class.

Comment:

Wonderful professor, awesome class. As long as you go to the lectures you'll be fine. The tests are mostly straight lecture material but the pictures in the book help a lot. I didn't have any issues with the work. She gives in class assigments but they are very straightforward and easy to understand. I would recommend this class to anyone.

Comment:

She is a very good professor. You have to go to class because you're almost guaranteed an in class assignment once a week and she does not tell you when they are. Her tests are tricky, but if you study and read the book you should do fine. Rely on those in class activities as a grade booster! Her lecture notes are not the only thing on the test!

A lot of in class assignments that count for points. Tests are HARD, but doable but you HAVE to read the book and study a lot. It's not an easy A but it's not impossible either.

Comment:

The class was ok but her tests were near impossible. She would tell you that you didn't need to read the text and that the lecture notes would be enough - but when you got the test, you wouldn't know anything. She is very nice but I wouldn't take her again.

She loves geology you can definitely tell that. If you like geology as much as she does you'll do fine. If not make sure you read the text and get help when you need it.
