Comment:
she definitely shows favoritism to the students who understand the labs. shes pretty intimidating but if you ask for help she will. best tip: review the labs before class, you can usually complete part of the lab without being in class and it helps a lot.

She really cares about the students and tries to teach to the best of her ability. She is a hard grader and slacking is not acceptable. Work the full 3 hours and she will see it. Classes are small so its easy to go to her and ask questions in the middle of the lab. I recommend if you are really interested in learning about geology.

Spends most time talking about her personal life even though she doesn't know your name. Is a very difficult grader, literally took off for misspelling words. You will rarely leave lab early. Highly recommend switching to another professor because this lab was harder than the actual class.

Nice lady, means well. Unclear on instructions, quizzes are difficult. Sometimes refuses to answer questions. She tends to pick out 1 or 2 students that she gives special treatment. I feel like she has good intentions, but is not a very good professor. Avoid her unless your life is Geology.

Plays favorites, so I can see how some would like her. I was a straight A student until her lab. You do work, and she doesn't help you with it. And then you have a quiz the next week BEFORE you get your previous work back to see what you did wrong. Horrible when you ask questions. She doesn't answer clearly if she even answers at all.

Really nice and helpful lady! If you have questions just ask and she will help you. quizzes can be tricky but as long as you really payed attention and understand the previous lab they aren't bad. She's does not create the labs, they are all the same from the geol lab manuals so you can't blame her for the bad instructions and questions.

She really means well, but she is unclear in her instructions and descriptions of things. Grading is tougher than other lab sections, but you will learn more in hers because you actually have to learn the stuff. If you put the time into the lab and ask her questions you will do fine. If she knows you care about doing well she is helpful.

She cares, she keeps you the whole time, but without her explaining things so well to me I would have made worse in the regular class. Nice woman, and she helps you after and before class if you need it! =)

She is no where near helpful! She takes too long to explain things, extremely boring, and makes useless references to drinking, relating it to rocks somehow. This woman is useless. Don't take her!

Not the easiest lab, but nothing to be afraid of unless you're an idiot. Ms. Blevins is a pretty cool cat and she teaches what she needs to teach quite well. You will hear some of her daily troubles; but hey, that's more entertaining than just hearing about rocks isn't it?

I don't know how anyone could say she is a hard grader, it's a LAB! She is the sweetest woman and really tries to talk to you on a personal level and get to know you. She doesn't have to waste her time doing that. She showed no favortism and was always fair. I enjoyed her a lot. She's really willing to work with you.

Comment:
She is extremely pessimistic and has an opinion about everything. She is a very hard grader as well, but she does take the time to clearly explain the lab to you which does help. The Geology Lab Manuals are horrible, so I believe she does make the most of them. She will help you if you are having trouble.

she talks to us like we're in 3rd grade, and her grading is way too strict, almost unreasonable. she talks a lot about her personal life and always goes on rants about her opinion on incredibly random things that have nothing to do with geology, and weren't even brought up until she started talking about it.

Mrs. Blevins is a wonderful teacher. She explains everything clearly even if we have to put up with the useless manuel this school has subjected us to. She is very sweet and if your majoring in geology knows how to help you out ;).

Comment:
Whoever wrote that comment about Mrs. Blevins not even majoring in Geology is an idot. She has and has told us that she has a BS in Earth Science. ie for those who are stupid: geology is considered an earth science. y'all are just mad because you failed. She is really nice, easy and a good instructor to have.
