Pretty tough class but it's very interesting. Tough exams but there is usually a curve. Take notes on as much as you can :)

Comment:
Class taught with Zachos, they're hilarious. If you can keep up you'll realize he doesn't take tangents it's all related and important, though not necessarily to the question you're solving at that moment. Quant qns are HARD until you cut the fat & they're simple. He's the head of the dept, I dare you to figure out who's his spouse without asking.

Great lectures, not an easy to understand subject! Tests are fair, but be prepared to work. Memorize stuff, be prepared for a little math, and keep taking notes!

Quentin is an entertaining and witty intellectual. Although he can be intimidating, his exams are fair as is his grading. Great UCSC professor.

His quarrels with Paul Koch were hilarious. A super bright guy who knows a heck of a lot about Earth Sciences. A little intimidating at times, but really nice once you get to know him.

Comment:
Quentins knowledge of the material was remarkable. He was also quite funny in a professor sort of way. He unfortunately did not display his knowledge in a coherent way almost ever. He should stick to research. He also didn't show up for his office hours many times and was always disorganized.
