William Amidon

I highly recommend this class to anyone who is interested in Geology. Will is super nice, funny, and puts in the effort to get to know the students in the class. All of the labs and lectures were super interesting and very clear.

This class is packed with a ton of really cool material. It is nowhere near my major, but I nonetheless found this information interesting and I am very glad I have learned it. Professor Amidon is very very nice and he knows his stuff. He definitely feels like a teacher who is on your side the entire time.

I like this course overall. As a FYSM, he was very patient in editing students' papers. We always had one-to-one sessions to discuss our paper with him. He is super enthusiastic about geology, and we learned a lot on field trips. Half of the three-hour sessions were spent on field trips. We were asked to watch the video in advance. I find it helpful to equip basic knowledge for a field trip.
