Reviews of professor Erik Haroldson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
His short answers on tests are very important. If you do not answer these correct you will not get higher then a C. He is a lecture heavy class. Quizzes each week in class and also online.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures are really boring, if you are into geology then maybe not. Hes very monotone and very lecture heavy. He posts the PowerPoints he uses after the lecture. His tests are pretty tough, especially the short answer ones. Make sure you study. he does iclicker questions during class that you will be graded on for participation. Pop quizes too.

His class overall isn't hard but you definitely need to study. Your grade is your grade in this class that means even if you need one point you're not going to get it with him. VERY BORING LECTURES.

Prof. Haroldson wasn't a great teacher but he wasn't bad one either. He was in the middle. The class wasn't too tricky. As long as you show up to class and take notes you should do okay. I would rate him 5/10.

Overall, a decent professor. Lecture heavy, straight from the powerpoints, and daily iClicker questions that you will be graded on (participation). Pop quizzes every couple of weeks, only about 5 questions each. These could hurt your grade. READ THE TEXTBOOK. Tests a little long but not too bad if you make sure to study. Homework on D2L weekly.

WORST PROFESSOR ANYONE CAN EVER HAVE AND IS VERY PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class is pretty straightforward, he has very long lectures that can be interesting at times, but as long as you do the lecture tutorials and homework you will do great on his tests. Attendance is also part of your grade. He is very passionate about geology and humorous at times, I enjoyed this class and hope you consider taking it.

He really isnt that hard, though he can be picky. His wording in instructions can be tricky, just ask him to clarify. Hes always willing to help. His lectures can get a bit boring, stay engaged by taking notes and trying to answer when he asks questions. Make yourself some cheat sheets for mineral ID, descriptions, etc.

Boring and is hard to understand, dances around actually giving you what you need to know.

If you are willing to put in the work, you will learn a ton from Dr. Haroldson. It isn't an easy class, but his lectures were great and made all the material available online. He has an understanding of how people learn and tries to reinforce lessons through a variety of teaching methods. He always makes himself available via office hours.
