Reviews of professor Nicolas Sitar

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Lectures can be hard to follow as there is few useful information on the presentation. But overall he makes geology interesting.

Fun class. Labs were relatively easy and tests were mostly multiple choice. He also records all of the lectures himself, so you don't have to addend and can go back for reference - really nice in my opinion. Course is kind of memory heavy, but has some pretty interesting content.

He is the best professor I have had this semester. If you try in his class you will succeed. During the GSI strike he was very accommodating, teaching the labs himself, and even ended up making the final optional. He responds to emails very fast and is very understanding. He has let me correct lab assignments and post lectures on courses.

Lectures are long and interesting, though the key points may be hard to follow until the end. Sitar is very good at connecting real world applications of civE-Field trip is enjoyable and the labs are straightforward. Exams are MC and based on definitions (80% of the class is memorizing all the terms and diagrams).

He spends a lot of time showing real world examples. The exams are multiple choice and not too difficult. The labs are pretty easy and can be finished in half time. The class makes me hate geology less. The field trip is kind of a slog (all Saturday). He is a very serious person.

Sitar is an OG, he loves teaching Geology and I recommend the class to all my CivE's. He is a pro in the field, gives clear feedback, and his lectures are the best. He gives story tells of engineering related problems which I think are cool.
