EVSC 2800

Good class with interesting material. The lectures and readings don't always match, so attendance is necessary. Overall, pretty easy course if you're into the sciences.

Geology is a good class if you're interested in that kind of thing but not so great to just fulfill science requirements. His lectures can be a little hard to follow and unclear, but he's very approachable and it's easy to get questions answered. I'd recommend taking the lab also because it gives hands-on experience to concepts in class and also reinforces what's covered in lecture. Midterms are tricky and long, but there's no cumulative final which is a plus. All in all, Professor Biggs is a funny guy and tries to make lectures about rocks a little easier to bear.

Fun class, enthusiastic professor. Lectures hit important concepts and provide an outline, but tests and quizes cover material in the book, don't skip readings. The lab really helps comprehension, and is also a lot of fun. The material includes new terminology and spatial concepts. Mr. Biggs is very approachable and can break down the concepts and recognizes areas that are difficult. Great class!

The lectures are very interesting, but the tests are very detail oriented. Study hard!! Study groups are the best for studying. Flash cards are a no no.

Professor Biggs goes into more detail than is probably necessary, but the tests are fair if you study well for them. The reading doesn't always correlate with lectures.

Biggs is good at lecturing, and the lectures are definitely helpful, but his tests are so detail oriented you could know everything and still get a C on his tests.

Lectures are interesting, but tests are unnecessarily hard. You can study everything and still get a 70. Take this class with a different professor

Difficult class but you can come back from bad quiz grades by doing well on the final. Watch out for the pop quizzes - being able to drop one can be really useful. If you find it interesting then it's not a bad class but if you are bored then it can drag on.

Biggs gives tough exams and enjoys asking tough short answer and essay questions. Reading the textbook thoroughly helps, as some questions aren't fully covered in lectures.

This is a very interesting class and the readings can be long but they are somewhat interesting. Biggs finds joy in making the tests pretty hard. They are the longest, most intense 50min test I have ever taken at this University. It is really important to attend the lectures because he gives random pop quizes that aren't too easy. He also does not post the lecture slides online. Even if you read all the material, take good notes, and study hard the tests will have something you won't know on them. Like I said he finds joy in making them difficult.
