Have final earlier in the week so there is time to grade essays. I think the essay part of the test is essential. Slides are great, nice break from talking lecture. Tests are way too extensive. Teacher is very educated but goes too fast.
Exams are too difficult.
Labs are worthless, they do not help you understand concepts. I liked the Geo 1001 class so much that I am taking the 1003 course next. I am looking forward to learning about dinosaurs from him. Dr. Kirkby is a very energetic and interesting instructor. He is obviously very knowledgeable of his subject matter and has an enthusiasm for teaching it.
