Reviews of professor Andrew Hawkins

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Hawkins is so sweet and energetic. He tried so hard to make it an entertaining class, and he is obviously very passionate about geology! He is a gentleman and just seems like an overall good person. He is a bit spontaneous and fast, but he WILL slow down if you ask. Lovely man. Take him! I have a newfound appreciation for rocks bc of him!

Never have I ever had a prof actually care about me as an individual. He can maintain a large class even in the online sections like a pro. If you show up, put in the work, and learn even just a few things, you're getting an A. If you're planning to cheat your way through school DO NOT TAKE this course.

He's a good professor, but just misses a lot of classes, either that or he's late a lot. There are times you can tell he doesn't feel like teaching. He gives good feedback though and responds to emails in a timely manner.

Very nice, funny, and passionate about geology. Lectures so boring. Lab so long and lab quiz every week. However, only 2 exams and final so do good on them and you will be fine. He also works with you to support your grade. He has SO MUCH energy. He jus takes literally forever to grade. The class is difficult itself so be ready to actually work.

I would recomend Dr. Hawkins especially if you don't already have an interest in geology. He is very animated, and his energy was the main thing keeping me awake in a 9am geology class, even on days when I was especially tired.

If doing the absolute most was a professor. Quiz every Friday, like 5 exams and field trips. He sent a reminder email about a Monday quiz on the Saturday before and no one remembers him saying anything about it in the first place. I understand professors are passionate about students learning but I also feel like there is a limit to that passion.

I really enjoyed this class and I haven't learned more from any other professor at Towson. He really knows how to explain material and tells us how its relevant to us and why we should care. The labs were a bit tricky but nothing too hard as long as you give it your best you will pull a good grade in the class, he also genuinely cares for students.

Strong dad vibes. The class was difficut, integrated studio and all. He will come in and say he hates you and everyone will get an F, but im sure its a joke... right? He will push you and encourage you in his own way. We have had many fun conversations as a class. He will be real with you. Great guy.

Great professor. He is very passionate about what he lectures on. Every time a question is asked he will say "GREAT QUESTION!". Take him.

Lecture could be repetitive and boring at times. Lab was dreadful because it was so long. Wasn't easy but also wasn't hard. Professor took so long to grade anything. Took attendance on random days.
