Reviews of professor Demian Nelson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This field trip was stellar! I really appreciated his unwavering enthusiasm and he's always thrilled to answer any questions you may have. Just talk to him! He's like a Swiss Army knife; he's a great resource if you know how to utilize him. Ask him about Gondwana and you're in for a good time. Best camping buddy ever!!!

I took this class because it was a requirement. When I started I really wasn't interested in anything other than passing the class, but this instructor's enthusiasm and love of what he does made me more interested in Geology. His classes are lecture heavy and you have to be in class to pass, but it's worth it!

He's a solid 10/5 but unfortunately rate my professor does not provide a good enough platform to express my enthusiasm. I guess a 5 will do. You rock Dr D. (get it. like geology? because we deal with rocks?) He's chill (like his studies in Antartica)

Dr. D is absolutely inspirational. The way he talks about rocks and minerals is very information dense but still easy to follow. He is incredibly passionate about what he does and you can't help but have that enthusiasm rub off on you. Around him no question is dumb and curiosity is encouraged. I can't recommend taking his classes or trips enough.

This field trip was awesome and we saw so much stuff! We went through Yosemite and the east Sierra and Dr. D showed us everything. There was a lot of driving but it was an awesome adventure and I can't wait to go to Death Valley!! Dr. D loves rocks and his passion made each stop fun.

Dr. D is a rockstar.��His lectures are very informative but he takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, and he makes sure everyone is onboard before continuing. He hardly gives homework but when he does, make sure to do it. Always remember, they're not packets, they're assessments, and it will always be on the test.

pretty dope teacher. He's young enough that he looks like he could be a student, but I think that makes him more relatable. Very enthusiastic about rocks and could go on and on about them. Lectures could get pretty boring but over all a great teacher and easy to talk to/ask questions.
