Keep it up. I wish all my teachers were like you. Kirby showed a lot of interest in the subject matter and that made it more interesting. His enthusiasm to teach the material is a definite plus. I also appreciate his flexibility of allowing the students to select what they wanted to learn from the course.
Tests are sometimes tricky.
Kent Kirkby is easy to listen to and understand in the context of geology. I would refer any student to take a course he is instructing. Unfortunately I learned halfway through the course that it is very helpful to get to know your profs and this is one I would have really liked to have known. This has been an excellent class and even though only an intro-type course, Kirkby really covered a lot of material with surprising depth making it an excellent quarter. You can tell Mr. Kirkby likes what he does.
