Rhodes is a very funny man who makes his lectures interesting and gives test questions out during his classes that resemble the multiple choice questions that will be on the midterm and final. This is one of my easiest classes which makes it somewhat fun. The readings are a little boring, but since that's the closest thing to homework that you'll ever get assigned in this class, it's worth it. One thing you must study for the midterm is MINERALS! The hardest thing about this class is the labs. While some are easier than others, the labs require you to think like a geologist.

Why are so many of the GE courses so intense? This course was crazy hard, it seems laughable that it would be-but you have to memorize alot of material that is not even gone over in class. The labs are pretty time consuming and regardless if your sick, you will get an F, if you don't show up-no make up offered. Unless you want to major in Earth sciences then I would not advise anyone to take this course.
