Comment:
His tests are based on the notes. If you're not that good at geology, you're better off waiting until summer to take intro to bio or another science class to finish up your lasers. Geo majors will love him. This is not for everyone. There are better options for completing the science portion for your lasers.

interesting stuff...& he knows it well....do attend class, eventhough he doesn't take attendance, tests are based on notes. Tests are tough. Don't expect to pass unless you've attend class and studied.

Dr. Brueckner is a very interesting teacher. He is very passionate about what he teaches but his notes are written, essentially, for his own use and not for that of the students. However, i think he is a good teacher.

With all due respect, he's a brilliant geologist who knows his stuff, but lousy teacher. Hops from one topic to another and in the end, you're not sure whats expected on the exams. Sorry.

101 means intro.....thats means introduce us to Gol... for someone like me thinking of taking Gol-major.....my dreams are dead.....studding for tests are pointless.....questions were given to a 3.8 Av Gol major and even he thought most of them were tough. As a person he a nice guy....But I can see he hates teaching. and only wants field working...

Comment:
In lower level classes Bruekner is interesting and a good prof. In higher level classes his teaching is erratic and meandering, making it near impossible to learn/study. Although he is knowledgeable and passionate about geology, he seems utterly uninterested in teaching and students. In the end he is a bad teacher.

Keeps class interesting with his humor. Excellent teacher in lecture. Labs are more of help yourself or get help from classmates. Overall best geology teacher at Queens College. Never say that he's not fair. If you show that you try he takes that into consideration. Dont miss class and take good notes.

Dr. Brueckner is a fine teacher! As in Geo 100, he does his best to make topics understandable. Not only does he lecture extremely well, but his drawings are a great help (draw along with him). Great sense of humor. Tests can be difficult, but they're not impossible. Do the HW's too.

i hated this class! There were to many things to remember. His tests were very very hard. He can be funny at times. All i can tell you is don't take his class at 8:00 in the morning! Oh and if you fail the midterm and you are doin well in the lab don't drop it, just make sure you do better on the fi

Professor Brueckner is a great professor that knows a lot. But his class is hard and is exams are very difficult. You must read the textbook and attend all the classes in order to do well. I would defuinitely recommend you to P/NC this class if you decided to take it.

right off the bat, if you're taking this class you're better of P/Ncing it..and then work your ass offf to not FAIL. Bruekner needs to find al ife outside of geology, perhaps he should find a hobby. Geology sucks and his class sucks and his tests are hard--this class was worthless
