You NEED to go to class. Simply take notes and study them for the tests. His power points are organized in a very convenient way. He is super organized. His class is great.

I would not recommend this class at all. There are four difficult exams and that's it. Registering for this class was the biggest mistake I ever made.

Think very hard before taking this class if it is not your major. There are 4 exams and no homework so if you mess up once there is basically no way to recover. He is the hardest professor I've had and it was only a 100 level class. Almost my whole class was failing by the end of the semester, a lecture hall full of students and only 4 had B's.

Very sweet guy. He's a little cheesy but it's funny :) Attendance for this class isn't mandatory but i HIGHLY suggest going. He refuses to put anything on blackboard (even grades) and the book isn't very helpful. If you go to class and take notes though he's a very good teacher and I would recommend taking him!

Very passionate and cheesy. Test are hard and are the only grade you get. Go to class, write everything down on the power points.

So this class has a ton of information, but Reed makes it bearable. He broke up the class into a lot of exams, but they really aren't that hard if you study. and do the review questions in the back of each chapter, they help a ton! he's really excited about what he's teaching and it's refreshing, really nice, and willing to help :)

Very, very boring class. The entire class is basically just preparing you for your term paper. Reed gives some good information, but gives out way too many useless handouts. He grades on attendance, probably because people wouldn't show up otherwise. He teaches you to be concise and direct when writing, but goes on and on about useless stuff.

Reeds the man, very educated and super pumped to be teaching what he loves. His test are a little hard and doesn't offer much side work or extra credit, so study hard for the test. But overall Reed makes it fun to be in class.

Awesome Guy! Really funny if you enjoy geology jokes. Very much into the subject matter he teaches which makes you enjoy it too. You do have to study a little for the tests but alot of the questions are in the book with answers. I am taking 2 of his other classes next semester.

Awesome class I enjoyed it and part of that is because Wicander seemed to enjoy it. He's a funny cat and enjoys the topic he teaches. His notes are neatly organized and everything from the 5 exams you take are in the notes. There are no assignments only the exams so make sure to study when the time comes. All-in-all a great guy I would recommend.

are you kidding me. this class was so hard. unless you are passionate about dinosaurs, find another class to take.. although he is knowledgeable and knows what he is talking about the class is based on 4 exams AND THAT'S IT. no hw assignments, no projects..if you bomb one exam your grade is down the drain. this class was very difficult.

Use the review questions at the end of the chapters...make sure you study the rocks, fossils and preservations. You'll be fine. You'll get what you put into the class.

Reed rules! This class is SO straight forward. If you go to lecture,take notes,and study there is no way you won't pass with at least a C. The questions on the tests come right off the study guides so just make sure to memorize them. He is a cute old man and pretty funny at times! TAKE REED
