Comment:
Professor Krissek is a great guy. I definitely reccomend taking this for a GE if you are willing to show up to class (because his tests are based almost entirely off of his lectures). Exams aren't bad because you are allowed one page note sheet. Just come to class and you will be good.

Comment:
Dr. Krissek is great. While the content of the lectures can be a bit boring due to the long class time, he really loves what he's talking about. I didn't buy the book, just borrowed it from the library right before the exams. No homework but the labs took time outside of class but Earth Science majors should already expect that. Best teacher in geo

Dr. Krissek is a great guy! I took this class at Stone Lab and he remembered my name TWO YEARS LATER! Very knowledgeable and fun to be with out in the field. Highly recommended.

Comment:
Dr. Krissek is a nice guy. He tells good stories and cheesy science jokes. Content is boring, so it's worth showing up. He claimed "show up and take good notes and you'll do fine." This was not the case for me (non-sci major)-D on the first midterm. Get a used text online ($20). This will help. I got As on the other tests, and extra credit helped

Dr. Krissek is very interested in teaching. He knows the material so well and is one of the best lecturers I've had. Makes the material interesting and genuinely cares about his students. Attendance isn't required but showing up is really important because you understand the material better. Also, the field trips are fun and you learn a lot.

He's really nice and tries to make class engaging. I took this as a GE and I wouldn't recommend it unless you're interested in science. He assumes people in the class have a background knowledge of stuff he talks about! Very frustrating. The tests are kinda hard (and I studied) and by the way, there's three tests and that's your grade.

Class attendance is key. He will drop by the lab once or twice. Tries to make boring material interesting, and he has some interesting stories he sometimes mentions while he was doing ANDRILL in Antartica.

The tests were challenging but Dr. Krissek really made an effort to make the material make sense. Gave lots of extra credit and a large curve, overall nice guy.

Dr. Krissek is the man. Interested in the subject, takes the time to get to know the students, and even takes you on field trips to Lake Erie. Also gives an opportunity for extra credit. Labs were easy but tests were pretty darn tricky!

Prof. Krissek is an excellent lecturer. He is clearly very interested in the subject and in teaching. He balances very reasonable expectations of students at this level with much enthusiasm to share with those who want to explore the subject more deeply.
