Reviews of professor Menso de Jong

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The course was challenging, but Menso explained the context pretty well. He was able to provide lots of useful information about earth science careers. Would also recommend his EARTH194GC.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Took this class as a GE. Super easy and clear tests, multiple choice. The professor kind of just reads off the slides in class. Teaching quality wasn't amazing, but the difficulty and tests were very easy.

Don't let his low-ish rating scare you from taking his class. Earth 4 was a really easy class as long as you pay attention in lecture (albeit he was not the most lively lecturer) and/or look at the lecture slides he posts online. Exams were all MC. Gave a vocab sheet for both midterm and final, which made them really easy to study for.

He is a very fair professor in the sense that he looks out for his students. If he writes a tough question he will own up to it and give students credit. Very interesting material and he is just overall a very nice guy. Slightly easy to zone out during lectures, but he posts them on gs so you can always catch up.

Class was easy, tests and quizzes were straight forward. Passion for subject was there, but the teaching quality, not so much
