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.

Genuinely one the of the best profs! So funny and lectures were NEVER boring. He always made the time to talk after class. 4 Problem Set packets, math was difficult. Easy 8-min group presentation in section. Entire grade based on 2, 70-100 questions exams w/ EXTREMELY SPECIFIC questions. Such an amazing & caring man, but exams were lowkey a joke.

Four problem sets, one presentation, two midterms. Problem sets are relaxed, but grades really depend on TAs. Mine was chill and helped me with questions I was stuck on. The first test was 100 questions, the second 74. No study guide or cheat sheet. Review sessions were not great. Ended the class with a 98% after studying slides for hours.

Loved lectures but your grade is basically two exams that are worth 200 points and are 100 questions long so if you aren't a good test taker like myself you are screwed. Attendance isn't mandatory but you kinda of need to go to lecture to pass so go to lecture.
