EARTH4 . Wrobel A J 24 Days Ago

He was great! Made everything straightforward and the class isn't too bad if you have good cheat sheets.

EARTH4 . Wrobel A J 26 Days Ago

Prof. Wrobel is passionate and very funny, but the class can be challenging. There are two midterms, a final, and worksheet labs. Exams are multiple choice with cheat sheets, yet still difficult. He moves quickly, and study guides aren't very helpful. If you are not a science person and seeking an easy GE, this is not the class for you.

EARTH4 . Wrobel A J A Month Ago

I really loved him as a professor, he is clearly very passionate and makes his lectures engaging. However, i attended every single lecture and studied so much and still received a B because 2 midterms and 1 final make up 60% of the grade and there were some gotcha questions. Id still take his class again!

LOVED professor Wrobel and his class. Although it was a lot, it was manageable and my TA was awesome. He's such an engaging lecturer and feels really approachable and accessible outside of class. Attendance isn't mandatory but the info from lectures is so important so definitely show up. Taking his other LD class next quarter and very excited.

He's an amazing professor and super charismatic, but the tests are pretty hard and really based on memorization and concept knowledge

If you want an easy GE this is not the class for you! I wish I would've known before. His lectures are extremely heavy and exams are multiple choice which can mess you up since they don't make much sense.
