EARTH4 . Wrobel A J 1 Year, 9 Months Ago

Prof is a very engaging lecturer and prepares his students well with his very in depth lectures. Weekly quizzes and lab sections are the main assignements. 2 Midterms and a Final are manageable if you do the readings and attend the lectures. You are allowed a cheat sheet which is very useful. Good GE overall, a little more dense than other classes.

EARTH4 . Wrobel A J 1 Year, 10 Months Ago

He's AMAZING. Super passionate about the subject & enthusiastic in lectures. Content can be a bit confusing but he is accessible in office hours & always takes questions in class to help explain. Readings are not mandatory, everything on the midterms/final (which you're allowed to bring a cheat sheet into) are covered in his lectures.

EARTH4 . Wrobel A J 1 Year, 11 Months Ago

I took EARTH4 as a non-stem major and enjoyed it! His lectures go over a lot of material but he explains things in detail so it isnt hard to follow. There are 2 midterms and a final, as well as weekly labs and quizzes. All quizzes are open note and the labs are fairly simple. He is very good at answering specific questions if you have any.

EARTH4 . Wrobel A J 2 Years Ago

He has such a good teaching style and is very enthusiastic about what he's teaching. He's young which helps him stay in tune with what students are going through and need these days. I'm not a stem major but he made science class fun and not as boring as it could be, and I learned a lot. Definitely recommend for a GE.

I have taken two classes with Alex, Oceanography and Antarctica, and I have absolutely love him! If you pay attention in lecture he explains everything in a very engaging way. He is very passionate, and his love for all things earth science makes the learning environment very encouraging. If you are confused just talk to him!

EARTH 4, Oceanography: I love this guy. He's adorable and really cares about student success. Midterms can be rough if you're not sure what to expect, he asks pretty specific qs.

Literally so nice and an easy GE to take. He doesn't give many assignments it's mostly just lab worksheets, weekly quizzes, two midterms, and the final. He's really nice and as a non-stem major, this was good to take,

Professor Wrobel was a really easy-going guy and made lecturers really funny and engaging. He made the material really easy to understand and grasp and was always available to answer questions. Highly recommend him for future classes in the Earth Science Department

EARTH10 . Wrobel A J 4 Months Ago

I loved this class. One of my favs yet. Professor Wrobel is clearly so passionate about the topics he teaches and it really makes a difference in the class environment. The powerpoints were posted and the exam questions were all taken from the powerpoints. Labs were easy. Overall such an easy class but also so interesting I learned so much.

Alex is an incredible professor who genuinely cares about his students and is passionate about what he teaches. He encourages students to interrupt him during lecture to ask questions and is very clear when explaining the material. You get two front and back sheets for the final and he provides a study guide as an outline for the cheat sheets.

EARTH10 . Wrobel A J 9 Months Ago

Alex is such a kind and funny guy and makes his lectures very interesting. Sections are a little more difficult than lecture content since they dive into more specifics, but not too difficult. The weekly quizzes are very easy and the cheat sheets he allows for the midterm and final are very helpful. Overall an easy and interesting class!

Wrobel is an amazing professor. Super caring and knowledgeable. There are weekly labs in addition to class and they take attendance with a QR code. You have to turn in assignments during labs to help grasp the information during lecture. Midterm and final were pretty difficult, but you get a one page front and back cheat sheet
