Comment:
Professor Janke is a funny guy who obviously loves his job. Geomorphology is probably one of the easiest courses you could take at Valpo. I really liked the class, but I am probably biased because I am a geography major. If you want extra help outside of class, however, don't expect it from him. Labs were pretty much chaotic.

AWESOME PROFESSOR. If you don't take Janke at some point you're totally missing out. He has the best field trips, etc. Always helpful and always fun.

Janke is an amazing professor! He loves and cares deeply about what he teaches. The stories and jokes he provides are priceless. His presentation style is what sets him aside from other professors. Take as many of his field trips as possible! I highly recommend this professor!

Comment:
Janke is very passionate about Geomorphology, and if it's something you are interested in he will make you love it too. If you have no interest at all in the subject don't take the class or it's going to be a hard couple of months for you. He is funny, and his field trips are fun. Don't expect him to hold your hand along the way with the labs.

Comment:
The tests were way too hard for this being a 100 level. He wastes class time with stories that dont help out whatsoever yet attendance is required. VERY FUN(NY). I had a REALLY busy schedule & would have liked him more without it. His time-wasting stories made me feel like I could be doing MUCH better things.You go on field trips! I recommend him!

He is funny as all hell. I did have to work pretty hard, especially in those long, worthless labs, and the somewhat difficult tests, but it was a pretty good class.

Fun lectures and you get to go on field trips. Lab aids helpful, just ask. The tests are'nt easy, but if you pay attention in class and put in study time, not hard either. People who do poorly tend to do so because they treat it like 'rocks for jocks' Its not. Overall I really enjoyed it

By far one of the most memorable profs here. His stories are the stuff of legend and he is very passionate for preservation of the land. If you take thorough notes and review them and skim the book before his exams, they're not that incredibly difficult.

A hilarious professor, but a ridiculous class. He's great in lecture, but worthless in lab. Tells hilarious stories in class which are enjoyable, but don't expect him to answer questions outside of class. The lab assistants are even more worthless and the tests are killers and nearly impossible.

Final exam of 34 T/F questions...other tests are a challeng though. If you study you'll do all right.
