Comment:
She is very awkward and corny in class,, I spent a lot of time pity laughing and feeling sorry for her when my classmates were clearly unamused. That being said, the class itself was boring, but essential. It is waaaay too hard for a gen ed. She told us that "This class should be a priority" Its a gen ed, it is no-one's priority.

Comment:
No study guide for tests, lecture can be extremely frustrating if you don't read the book later, and breezes past certain topics. Honestly too hard for a gen ed course! Don't take if you're not a Geology major basically!

Comment:
Boring lectures, no study guide or even a review, awfully worded test questions you probably don't even have in your notes, in-class work you can't make up. Count how many times she says the word "sediment", it's the only way to make it through class.

Comment:
Prof. V. was ok. She is a very kind person during class and is funny, but can be cold occasionally when asking questions or rude to the kids who are having a hard time grasping the subject. Her exams are super hard and the homework wasn't explained very well most of the time. She also offers 30 points extra credit.

Comment:
Class was incredibly difficult for a gen-ed entry level geography course. Tests were the hardest I've ever taken, and questions were based on very small details barely mentioned in lecture. Unless you have a solid background in geography, I would avoid this prof.

She makes lecture and lab very entertaining with corny jokes but when it comes to tests there very hard. She also tests you on things she says and write on the board not what is mainly based in the book, so pay attention in lecture and take good notes!

Comment:
DO NOT TAKE! If you know nothing about geology and have no care for it, do not take this as your gened. Literally impossible, even with studying for the exams and never missing a class, I ended up with a C+. She gives you so much work, and homework is graded on correctness versus completion. Tests=impossible. Field trip to mine=terrifying! BAD!!

She obviously loves what she does, and she made geology more interesting to me. She even takes you on fun field trips. It takes a lot of studying notes to get a good grade, and it's definitely important to attend lecture even though she doesn't take attendance. Overall a fun class.

Extremely helpful and made the class material interesting. While the demonstrations seemed unnecessary at times, they helped you remember the material come test time. Overall, a great professor that loves what they do

She is very enthusiastic, helpful and loves what she teaches. Many students have a hard time with her tests but if you attend all of the lectures, take good notes, study those notes and read the chapters you should be fine. I highly recommend her. Make sure to attend all of the lectures because she often gives little quizzes that are easy points!

Pat's tests were very hard, but she made the lectures and labs fun and interesting. She was very funny and if you put effort into the class you will pass easily.

Pat's tests are DIFFICULT. Simply, if you don't study, you're not going to get a good grade. Putting her tests to the side, She's a GREAT lady, INCREDIBLY funny, very intelligent and she wants everyone to learn. I CHANGED MY MAJOR TO GEOLOGY BECAUSE OF THIS CLASS. It's tough but very rewarding!!

Although I did learn a lot from this class, it was extremely hard. Tests are multiple choice, however each question is worth 4 pts, so if you miss more than 8 or 10 you're in trouble. Also, when she says extra credit won't save your grade, she's right...don't even bother!

Comment:
Wow...this was one of the hardest classes I have ever taken, and it's a 100 level class! She's not a horrible teacher, but she packs an insane amount of information into each class period, and she is not the most fair grader. Again, she's not horrible, but I would take a different professor if you aren't a Geology person!

This is the hardest professor I've ever had. She packs WAY too much info into one class and her tests are nearly impossible. She doesn't give study sheets and you can't keep previous exams to study for the CUMULATIVE final. If you don't have to, don't take this professor

AVOID THIS CLASS AT ALL COSTS. Seriously unless you have a passion or understanding for rocks AVOID. Taking the tests was like trying to read a different language. BY FAR the worst prof. ive ever had. Way to much work especially for rocks. Im doing you a favor STAY AWAY!

She has this impeccable ability to put anyone no matter how interested to sleep during her lectures. Perhaps it was because it was a three hour class but every time I stepped in that class I couldnt help but doze off. She knows anything that you would have questions on but her tests are extremely difficult. But she does have extra credit to help.
