Comment:

Garnero understands that most people taking his class are not geology majors so his class is not hard at all, but he is still good at teaching the subject. He is clearly passionate about geology and cared for his students. He is a funny guy and makes a boring topic more interesting. Highly recommend his class!

Comment:

Dr. Garnero is one of my most memorable, fun, and great professors, period. He is funny, unexpected, shocking, and completely engaging. He took what is probably perceived as a more pedestrian course, an introductory geology course, and elevated into something I found useful and inspiring, and will keep all my life.

Comment:

Show up, do the readings, and do the homework, and you'll be done with the class a month early. He grades on points, not percentages, and the last test is dropped. You can basically get as much extra credit as you want if you try. Additionally, he's just a great professor. As someone who knew little about geology, I learned a lot.

Comment:

Garnero is hilarious and tries making class as interesting as possible. You never know what to expect. 8 HW, 4 exams (1 dropped), plenty of EC. No + or -. If you put the effort in the first half, it's possible to obtain an A with a month to spare. I didn't show up for the last month or final and still finished with an A. Good science class to take!

Comment:

This class is easy as long as you do the homework! Test answers are found in the homework and lecture pdfs, and he provides a study guide with pretty much the exact questions from the test. Literally the easiest science class you can take without putting much effort into it!

Comment:

He was a good guy and he made the topic a lot more fun to learn about. However, a huge chunk of his test questions were stupid and revolved around info that no adult will need to know in the real world. He just seemed to think that his class was the most important, and he seemed to forget that not everyone in there is a geology major.

Take this class if you need a science credit but don't like science. Garnero is extremely funny, caring, and straightforward about what he expects from his students. Show up to class, take good notes from his slides, and take advantage of the EASY extra credit opportunities he provides. Strongly recommend!

Garnero is an excellent professor! He is hilarious and manages to make even boring topics very interesting. Make sure you show up, he has pop quizzes and will sometimes draw names of students to have them answer questions for attendance points. He also provides you with a list of all the content you need to know for tests!

Garnero's GREAT. Have to show up for attendance but otherwise he is super funny, actually teaches but lets you check out. Assignments are easy enough, class is very easy to get an A and he has EC. You can read but you can also just not. Exams are LITERALLY A REVIEW GUIDE HE GIVES YOU it's the exact same just figure out the answers. no +/- take him!

He grades in brackets, so as long as you get a certain number of points, you are thrown into the grade bracket. He is knowledgeable and funny. Makes lectures interesting. Just don't use your phone in class.

Comment:

Garnero is funny and cool. His class was interesting most times. He has a vase where he'll randomly pick names during lectures to take their attendance once (10 pts) and sometimes have you do a demo for 5 EC pts. There are 16 "pop quizzes" (2 dropped) 4 exams (1 dropped) and 8 HW assignments. I totally recommend if you're looking for an easy class.

Comment:

I loved this professor! He was hilarious and very enjoyable. I'm not much of a science buff but he made geology interesting. The class was pretty easy, too. There are 20ish pop quizzes in the class, so attendance is important, but it was a fairly painless class. I'd definitely take him again if I had to take another geology course.

Comment:

Garnero is a great teacher! Very funny and full of surprises. He provides a list of exactly what you need to know for the exam, so you could easily find the answers on quizlet. While you don't need to necessarily show up for class, I would highly recommend it for the pop quizzes, secret extra credit, and fun presentations, all of which are random.

Great teacher, very generous with curving grades. An 87% is an A in his class, 74 is a B and a 61 is a C. 8 HW assignments worth 40 points each, 4 tests worth 100 points each (he drops your lowest test score) and 16 in class assignments (drops your 2 lowest scores here). Show up to class so you don't miss in class assignments and test review days.

Great Professor and made the class much more interesting than I assumed it would be. The class itself wasn't exactly difficult as long as you showed up and were there for his quiz activities. Tests he made you an in depth review and if you can do that then you're in the clear. Overall great teacher and excellent class.

Great teacher, he has a clear and concise syllabus with the schedule of all the chapters he'll cover in class. Make sure to come to lecture because there will be pop quizzes every so often. The exams aren't difficult but read the chapters.

Dr. Garnero is a wonderful professor. He truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed. The grade in this class is based on: 8 homeworks, 3 out of the 4 tests, 14 out of the 16 In Class Exercises. Do the analogies for extra credit. You will end up with over 100% in this class, like me. I would certainly take another class with him again

Comment:

This class is super easy. Don't even need the textbook. Just show up to class because he does in class exercises at least once a week and doesn't tell you when theyre gonna happen. The material is super easy to understand. However, this teacher is a huge jerk and is super rude. His lectures are also very poorly planned out which is kind of annoying

Unfortunately I couldn't finish this class due to my disabilities, but Garnero is a wonderful professor. He's hilarious, if you plan on looking at the notes after class though online they aren't clear. Mostly just pictures and graphs. You really have to read the textbook as he doesn't go through everything in class. Lots of in class assignments too
