Reviews of professor Matthew Wielicki

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Professor Wielicki made this class super easy, I only attended probably 3 lectures in total. The content is easy to understand, and the exams were all online, including the final. The only grades in the class are the exams though, so definitely try to do well on them.

Prof. Wielicki gets it. He challenges students to think versus accept popular, unfounded opinions. He represents what a college education is all about and we need a lot more like him.

Great professor! Cares about students if you make an effort to get to know him. Very helpful outside of class. Class is optional but I recommend going for extra credit. He will give hints for tests during lectures. The textbook is not needed if attending class.

Super funny professor and can really make rocks interesting. Go to class, he wants participation and always gives out bonus points before the tests. Only reason people might have lower grades is because they skip class a lot. Really funny to talk to and willing to meet outside of class, too.

great guy/professor. Get to know him and let him get to know you and he'll help you throughout the whole semester to try to get a grade you deserve for your effort. Only 4 grades in his class which are 3 exams ( you get 1 drop if you do the quizzes), lab/ and then the final exam. Test are extremely hard so go to office hours to get hints from him.

Dr. Wielicki is not a climate change denier as stated below.  He thoroughly discussed climate change in all aspects and provided data that suggests some, or much, of the alarmism is not warranted and supported by the data.  This was very refreshing to hear and I see this more and more every day. To claim he is a denier is absolutely disingenuous.

He was not nice or understanding and his tests were hard.

Your entire grade is based on four tests throughout the semester. These tests were a lot harder than the reviews we went over in class. He offers extra credit but the way it was put in the grade book made my grade go down. I emailed him about it and he told me to check the syllabus (that has nothing to do with it). He is late to class A LOT.
