Reviews of professor Joseph Asante

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Asante was a fine choice for this class. The class mainly focuses on climate change rather than actual Geology which is fine with me but just something to keep in mind. The labs were interesting at time, although a majority are monotonous busy work. When studying for exams, pay very close attention to the review questions he gives you.

I did not really enjoy this class. The lectures were not very engaging and what was actually lectured on did not put the same emphasis on topics that the tests did. The lab section for this course was also the worst lab experience I have ever had.

Dr. Asante is a great guy and an interesting person to talk to. He isn't the best at keeping on track during his lectures. GEO1045 is an extremely easy class in my opinion, very minimal weekly hour requirements to pull an A if you engage in his lectures. This felt like a high school level class in terms of difficulty. Would recommend!

He covers a lot in his lectures, gives tips on how to study for the tests, has plenty of stories and real-world applications to the subject matters, and goes at a nice pace. He really likes it when students answer his questions, so try to do that.

Dr Asante is great!! Online lecture was a little difficult for him I could tell, but he was overall a great professor and he loves his students. If you participate online and let him know youre paying attention (send him emails with questions, respond in discussion) youll get a good grade

Sometimes the "best answer" or double negatives on tests would throw me off, but that's not really on him. Just my 'tism. The course overall was pretty easy and Dr Asante will respond quickly and help you out as long as you put in the effort. Also please go to his lecture and laugh at his dad jokes, sometimes I feel bad when no one is there.

He is a very sweet, caring guy and is very knowledgeable on the topic but to someone who didn't even know geology was a thing, it was hard to comprehend what everything meant so that just meant that I had to teach myself basically. Also, he will walk around and ask questions while holding the microphone in your face lol.
