Reviews of professor Stephen Benoist

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This professor is really passionate about what he teaches. You have to take good note because that will answer your homework and also the test. He writes down note but makes them into an outline. recording the lecture will defiantly be helpful but not required. Read the book and will pass with an A

I took Professor Benoist last semester and slacked on writing a review; I switched my major today because his class really inspired and resonated with me. He is a fantastic professor! He truly knows what he is talking about and has an answer for everything and he wants you to succeed. He is kind, knowledgeable, and interesting.

Very kind and cares about the subject he teaches. He will answer any questions you have and help you to be successful in the course if you ask

He is a chill professor but there only a few things your being graded on. so, there's little to no room to mess up. He didn't give out a study guide until half of the class emailed him saying they were lost and needed a guide to help them study for the test. Most of us were lost to the point where we didn't even know what to ask him.

All lecture. No study guide. Be prepared to struggle each test since your study guide are your not but test is worded weird so you will struggle. I'm an Honors student and no matter all the studying and sessions I do this class was hard due to lack of enthusiasm and no clear study guide. He is a sweet man but I truly wish he gave us an actual study

He's very nice and passionate about geology but his teaching style didn't work for me. If you sign up for his class, be ready for him to just read off of the PowerPoints and not explain what you're learning. Your also only graded on 3 tests,4 pop quizzes, 4 HW assignments, and 1 final. There's no extra credit but a curve for the test.
