Reviews of professor O'Neal Claire

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. O'Neal is a super passionate and funny professor. She makes her recorded lectures relatively interesting, too. It is a lot of work for an intro class, however. Pre-recorded lectures are very long with readings, group projects, and mandatory discussions on top of that. Tests aren't terrible if you know the material

The best option to get your lab requirement out of the way. She's an awesome teacher and the class was much more interesting than I thought it would be--she makes geology as fun as it can be. I didn't use the textbook much and in retrospect, wouldn't buy it. Not exactly an easy A, but if you prepare for the exams well, you can ace the class.

I went into this class with fairly neutral expectations. It was just my lab science requirement. I ended up really enjoying this class, and Prof. O'Neal definitely had a lot to do with that. I took this online over the summer, so there were long lectures each day, but they were interesting enough to keep me interested. Great professor!

She has a great personality, and is very passionate about her topics. There are 3 exams that are all taken at the online testing center, and she curves all of them. Definitely recommend to fulfill a breath requirement!

She is very dedicated and really cares about the class. However, this class has too many assignments for no reason, and everyone I have talked to about has complained. I dropped the class because it was too heavy and difficult, and I will be retaking it with a different professor.

Even tho it's COVID time and it was online I enjoyed most of it. Easy, open note reading assignments and quizzes, plenty of easy extra credit opportunities. Exams are easy if you listen to the lectures and put some effort, they're mostly based on analyzing pictures/graphs so they're quite easy. The only annoying part of the class are group projects

Too much work for an intro class. Not worth it and would not recommend
