Reviews of professor Peter Stang

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Took this course for lab, and it's great. Weekly lab with a few quizzes throughout the semester. Lab can usually be completed fairly quickly, so you can typically leave 1 hour early. I learned a lot more in this lab than in lecture with another professor. Would definitely recommend.

Pete Stang is very knowledgeable about geology, with simple requests (just read the gd textbook for his sake please), and is pretty cut and dry. However, he can come across as hard-nosed and doesn't explain things very well. His quizzes are mildly difficult and if you are looking to coast by, he is not the professor for you.

I struggled in the lecture I did take, but Stang's explanations in the lab were clear and easy to understand. The labs consist of a brief lecture before he hands out a printout of the lab where we apply the chapter's contents to complete it. If you attend every week, and take notes, you should pass with relatively ease. Good guy, honest feedback.

Tests are heavy if you do not study, or memorize lectures. Take notes from the Professor Slides, study with time, and finish all the lectures at the end of each class (15 total). Peter is direct and patience, ask if you need, but you should STUDY with TEXTBOOK. Pay attention to the lectures, sometimes the profesor say topics from tests.
