Comment:
You think "Hey, Geology 100, should be an easy GPA booster." NOOO!!! if you take this class you will put in so much unneccessary work for a Gen Ed. I recommend AVS or anything that doesn't start with a "G" and is followed by A "EO 100"

Comment:
His class was surprisingly hard. But he himself was entertaining. Every once in a while he said something so funny I'd have to write it down. He's very sarcastic and looks like he's in a bad mood all the time, but he can be nice. You have to study really hard for the tests, because they're insane.

Exam's are basically the same from semester to semester. rather than studying from the book or your notes..find an old exam the questions are the same only in a different order. Dont bother buying the text book and you really dont have to go to class every time. I got a B overall.

This man is SATAN!! Not only does he put a slide up for 2.3 seconds, if you ask a question about it, he acts like you asked him what 1+1 is. This class is not only BORING AS HELL it is SO HARD you can't understand. DOO NOTTT take this class unless you want to FAAAIL, you can study as long as you want he makes the HARDEST exams possible.

this is the worst teacher ever makes you feel dumb when you ask a question and constantly calls you stupid in all different ways barely anyone passes. youll be lucky to get a 60 after a week of studying and preparing for an exam. not helpful at all just very rude. not worth it at all for only a 100 level course

Comment:
AVOID. if you're looking to fill a gen.ed. not worth it. He uses overheads with mostly diagrams. Attendance is not mandatory but you have to go to have a fighting chance of passing. He is very knowledgeable but very rude to students. Exams are hard, gives pop quizzes for extra credit. Boring material. Boring class.

WORST CLASS EVER!!! this guys is awful. do not take this course. almost everyone fails, if they pass its in the C range. I'm not a lazy person, i can pull off good grades in like 200+ level classes. but this one is ridiculous. there are so many other gen eds that will not harm your gpa. DO NOT TAKE!

Comment:
I agree with the "old-fashioned teaching style" comment: straightforward lecturing, quizzes, tests... not that that's bad. He's extraordinarily knowledgeable, so don't just sit there and listen; ask lots of questions. Can have a sharp tongue sometimes but seems less mean if you get to know him.

This class was so boring and the teaching style was so old fashioned. There was absolutely no discussion and he makes students feel stupid for asking questions. I do not recommend taking a class with this pretentious prof.

Took this class first semester freshman year so I never went; therefore, exams were difficult but the tutor John Alverez at Academic enhancement is very helpful, only reason I did well; otherwise Cain is a nice guy with a sweet British accent, sort of feel bad for him; take it as long as you can read the text/go to class or the tutor

Great class, alot of people either hate him or love him, He has a british accent which is awesome. Always go to class it helps because you will miss alot of notes, little to no homework, exams are extremely easy because he tells you everything that is on it and gives everything in the notes so you can't mess up.

Book is very helpful particularly for diagrams, must take LOTS of notes off overhead, exams are difficult. If you're not going to attend/take notes in class, don't bother taking the class.

This guy isnt helpful at all!!!His class is extremely boring! if you like writing 20 pages of notes every class than you'll like his. He is funny however, especially when he starts going about how us bloody americans are so godamn lazy. And also how spanish immigrants dont know what the hell they are doing. ahhh..the exams are very difficult.
