Camilo is an amazing professor. His lectures are interesting and well organized. He is very clear about what to expect on exams which is amazing! I highly recommend him if you're interested in geology or need a lab credit.

Was a good professor!

I enjoyed Camilo's class a lot! While there were a lot of lectures (usually 2 per week, but occasionally 3 or rarely 1), they were pretty easy to understand and didn't take a long time to do. He also made the "weekly" assignments easy and sporadic, and gave us chances to get easy points. Overall, an interesting, solid class!

Prof. Ponton really cares about his students and about geology, which made his class incredibly enjoyable! He was always very clear about what would be expected for homework, labs, and exams. His lectures are well-organized and he connects his lectures to real-world examples. I would highly recommend GEOL211 with him.

Very understanding professor of life outside the classroom. Show up, take notes, 3 tests. Gives points to people who show up. Tells you everything and I mean everything you need to know for the exams. Easy course. Simple and to the point he does not go on and on, lectures are straight to the point. Highly recommend.

Dude is a class act and always clowns on students who aren't aware or listening with snarky, passive aggressive roasts. He talks as if geology will cure cancer or world hunger one day! Class is super easy, exams are online. Only thing to look out for is the lab for the final project; that's a big one. If you hate robotic profs, Camilo is for you!

Like other 211 reviews, Professor Ponton is clearly overqualified to be teaching an introductory geology course-- which makes him perfect for getting students enthused about geology. He's fantastic and very organized; his lectures clearly outline what he wants you to remember for possible exam questions. Overall a great professor! Highly recommend!

This was an easy class. Unfortunately, it drove me nuts. 

Ponton at one point provided a rubric and then did not grade off of it. He claimed that he expected more than the rubric. 

Ponton also pressed us to work as a group, but then got mad when we all had similar answers.

He is a great teacher and very enthusiastic about learning. He has a slight accent but it wasn't hard to understand him. Definitely would take him again if I needed to take more geology classes.

He was a smart cookie. A little condescending but overall I didn't feel too stupid in his presence. Overall he is a good prof to have just a singular time. Not twice, just once.
