Reviews of professor Nicholas DiFrancesco

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Took for a Gen ed, not a fan of science. Lectures were boring. Iclicker quizzes during each class, does not drop the lowest grade (so if you have to miss class it'll hurt your grade). My friends who took Geo100 with Rachel Lee seemed to have an easier time.

There are weekly quizzes, as well as random pop quizzes in class.

Really great prof. not an insanely hard class, but the exams can be very hard and will sometimes not go over everything. If you have him for lab, you will be best friends with him and helps you out a lot.

By far the most passionate professor in his field, he enjoys teaching geology, He is so smart and very enthusiastic about his subject. His lectures are interesting but contain many slides. He takes attendance by giving quizzes, which are not hard at all. The exams can be tricky but if you study you'r going to be fine. Def take his class.

Professor Nick is an outstanding professor and a caring and understanding person. His lessons are fascinating and beneficial. If you are a geology or Earthy Science major, you should definitely take this class with his,

It seemed he was out to get me, and didnt understand that because of corona virus not everyone is on top of their work! Just piles on the work, he made me take a test I wasnt prepared for because I was in the hospital for a week. He just seems to love the lecture part but not the understanding teacher part

There were a lot of notes to be taken, but he always made sure to post them online. There was no homework during the semester. In class he is very passionate of what he teaches, and it shows. The class was very interesting, and not hard at all. HE is a very nice man, who wants you to do your best.

The class is interesting, and he's very passionate of what he teaches, I wish my other professors were like him. His lectures can have lots of slides but they are interesting, watch out for exams as they are somewhat challenging. Overall a great class. to take

Took this because it was supposed to be an easy class but never got over a 60 on a test. He is not very helpful and this class is very hard for it being a 100 level. Would NOT recommend
