Exams are hard even if you study. Makes important annoucements when whole class isn't present. Doesn't give enough time with material in class.

Comment:
I had a love/hate relationship with him- he is very helpful and generous with homework (I had none) and he gave extra credit opportunities- but his exams were really hard even if you studied, and he picked on a few people in class asking questions and made them feel stupid (how I stayed out of the line of fire I do not know). I got a B.

Comment:
One of the worst professors I've ever had! I'll admit he knows what he's talking about, but if you struggle with the material he'll pick on you more and embarrass you in class. Everyday activities are easy but exams are extrememly hard! Make sure you get points for assignments to weigh out tests. Also, I payed $100 for a book we NEVER USED!

Comment:
YouAt first he seems ok, like a retired high school teacher in college (which he is). Treats you like little kids and lulls you into a false sense of security. Class is too easyand tests are over material never covered and not in book, with m/c A-F. I was 2nd in a class of 243 in HS and earned a B+ in his class with trying. Kind of an annoying guy

Fegel is an amazing professor. He has a lot experience in education and geology. I had him for my ED weather class and took him again for GEO 300. Fairly easy grader and extremely knowledgeable about the world around us. Great prof!

Comment:
Fegel is really a great teacher and the things he teaches you are definitely helpful. the only real problem with his class is that his exams are about 20 times harder than anything else in the class. so be sure to get like all of the points on every assignment because they'll out weigh a bad exam grade.

Classes seem pointless, but Fegel knows what gen ed geology is all about. Small assignments and he reviews for exams using the actual question from the exams. He was good, long class, but I got a B without trying. I would recommend him.

Ok guy, class can be fun. Tests are impossible, not over anything from class. Get good grades on all asignments to cushion yourself for the test grades.

He knows what he is doing. This is a class that you have to go to if you take it! If you don't want to be there... don't take the class!

Larry Fegel is up there with the greatest of men. He makes his class interesting and usually cuts the 3 hour class to 2 hours so we get out early. He graded our mid-term on a 12 point curve. Assigns several easy labs which are basically 50 completion points apiece.

Unorganized, long-winded, doesn't stay on task. Toooo much group work about stuff no one cares about. Never talks about things you should know for the test until a week before. Doesnt follow his syllabus. Don't take this guy's class unless you either know a ton about geology or are in love with rocks.

Comment:
I felt that the previous ratings were very misleading. Larry is an AWESOME guy, he really is helpful, but if you don't LOVE rocks and geology than don't take this professor!!!! He lectures like you should already know all of the information and he is just touching on things. Very confusing class. Stay away from Geology unless you love it!!!!

Professor Fegel is an AWESOME TEACHER, he mixes his labs with his lectures so that the student gets the hands-on learning experience. I highly recomend this professor!

Very nice prof, helps you a lot. Labs are easy- there are lots of group work. You have to study for the exams. He offers extra credit which helps a great deal. You are expected to go to every class. He's a great professor, especially for someone who isn't interested in science. I highly recommend taking him.

He is a great teacher to have if not really interested in Geology. He makes it more hands-on and has models to help you understand. Very very nice guy and will help you in any way he can. Science teachers can be soooo boring, he is totally the opposite. One of the best!!!

Fegel is one of the best profs Ive had. He is so helpful and friendly and he really wants his students to do well. I took this class with another prof and she failed me. He made me feel like I wasn't an idiot. Take him by all means!

HE's an awesome prof. The class was so much fun! You work in groups a lot on labs and he's always willing to help. Tests were a little tricky but he's helpful. He's a lot of fun and I would HIGHLY recommend taking him. Especially if you aren't a geology major.
