Most Helpful Review
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.

Professor Rhodes is very adept at teaching and explaining concepts. This class is not very difficult if you apply yourself and do maybe do a few readings and pay attention in lectures. However, it is not an easy-peasy class, so don't just take it because it's a GE, take it because you're interested in the material and want to learn it. The field trips are very helpful in actually understanding the concepts discussed in lectures, and he almost gives you the answers to all of his questions for his little write-up. His (1) midterm and final are all multiple choice, and he gives review questions in class. Overall, he's a good professor.
