Rest in Peace Dr. Barnard. You may not have the best ratings on here, but you truly were a very nice, helpful man. SUNY Fredonia will suffer without you're teaching skills.

Comment:
INCREDIBLY hard test, you have a review sheet yes but it's on 5 chapters of material. reading the chapters is useless, it won't help you learn the way he words his questions. He is so boring it's unbelievable. attendence is manditory and taken at the end of class. AVOID THIS CLASS FOR A CCC AT ALL COST

The class is pretty boring but usually lets you out early. Gives you a review sheet for every test. Takes attendance but it only adds points doesn't take away. Pretty simple it's just dry.

Comment:
This professor tests very hard. I wouldn't reccomend taking GEO165 as a CCC. I needed to take it for my(edu)concentration at the time, I changed it to English. I couldn't stand the format of his tests ( they wern't asked in the way you were taught) or his attitude- he seems to think that because a 'C' is average, everybody should get a'C'Avoid him!

Comment:
Geology was very boring the whole semester. He shows videos though which do break up the monotony of it all. Attendance slips are given at the beginning and collected at end for points. Test are very hard, but if you use the website that accompanies the text book, a lot of the questions are also on the tests.

very hard class. tests are very difficult. attendance is mandatory, and he takes it at the end, so you have to stay the whole time. its also very boring, he has no personality and has been teaching forever.

Do the reading and it's not that bad. Boring, but not awful. Much easier science than Phisics or Chem. I do feel bad for the man. No one pays ANY attention to him.

Do not take geology of national parks....the course if very misleading. You don't learn about the parks at all. You can tell he doesn't like his job, and thinks all students are spoiled brats!! It is sooo boring, our class has about 60 people in it, only about 15 show up.

This teacher sucks, he is very boring ..but doesn't make too much sense. His tests cover 5 chapters and it's really hard to keep up...if u plan on taking this as a CCC ... don't.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS... unless you are extremely interested in Geology or science or whatever... it is so boring and he is a horrible teacher. He stutters and you can never understand what he's talking about. Half the stuff on the test is stuff we never ever discussed in class!!! I hated this class and it is very hard for a CCC!

to be entirely fair- who schedules a rocks & minerals course at 8AM and expects pple to stay awake. he is a very dry professor, but he's very knowledgeble and fair with grading. you can tell he's very into the subject and expects the students to be too. doesn't explain stuff very well, but like i said, fair when it comes to grading.

do not take this class or definatly not with this teacher, his tests are impossible and his notes are powerpoints and videos every single day. The class is very hard for being a CCC.

The class is not easy but he gives you a syllabus with all the assignments and a review sheet for each test like a month in advance. Not a bad teacher either.
