What can I say about Matt Jackson besides how good of a professor he is. He made learning about rocks so interesting, made lectures funny and enjoyable even when it wasn't mandatory to show up. He was always appreciative of student participation during lectures and often invited students to talk to him about literally anything after lectures!

Very sweet guy, his midterm was very specific, I personally did not prepare too well but that is entirely on me. There are 4 homework assignments and a group presentation. His lectures are a bit boring but he tries to engage with the class the best he can, love ya matt jackson.

Great professor, it's clear he likes the subject material and is very willing to answer any questions you may have. Lecture isn't mandatory but it helps a lot with exams if you show up. Exams are heavily based on lectures and some material from labs.

Wendy is absolutely hilarious and class with her is never boring. Be prepared to work a LOT (like every day), but it's so worth it in the end and you feel so proud of yourself for all the work you've accomplished. She also gives you a lot of feedback and is pretty accessible out of class. Honestly one of the coolest people I know.

He's a pretty zany guy, I wish I was able to take more classes with him. I will say though, the problem sets didn't really prepare me for the exams.

Her screenwriting classes are educational entertaining and fun. There are a lot of modules to go through but they are all so worth it if you are passionate about creating content for the screen. You definitely get out what you put in, and it's not hard to create great results because she is so encouraging and wants to see you succeed. No busy work
