I really loved this class and Jeff was an incredible professor. We learned that geology is relevant to so many aspects of our lives and were able to study that through super fun labs (e.g. analyzing soil, visiting wastewater treatment plants, looking at rocks in a river, visiting the marble quarry, etc.). Besides lab reports, there was no homework for the class. However, Jeff was a surprisingly tough grader so I definitely studied for tests (we had two TAs to go to with questions as well). I think he was extremely knowledgeable, passionate, helpful, and fun, and made our class something for us to look forward to every day.

This was a great class to be introduced to the Earth & Climate Sciences department. Jeff was a really effective professor, and his enthusiasm for all things geology definitely came across in his teaching-style. There is no homework besides labs once a week, but the labs are pretty easy. There is also no textbook, which can make it pretty difficult at times to study for the exams, especially if you miss a lecture as he doesn't upload his slides. He is a pretty tough grader and I sometimes felt that he took points off answers in an unfair way. That said, this was a super valuable course and I would definitely take a class with Jeff again!

Engaging lectures and minimal workload have me excited to go to classes. Difficult grading in exams is negated by take-home exams, lots of fun labs. Overall great real-world experience that can be applied to daily life, and in interesting ways.
