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.

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.

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.

great online class. tests were very easy. weekly assignment was easy. you don't need to watch lectures, but he gave great lectures that were recorded so you could watch them on your own time. section was weekly zoom but didn't take attendance.

Open book/note which made things easy. All you have to do is watch the lecture videos and do the associated problem sets (there were only four but you get three attempts at them). Two midterms, no final. There's also a pre-recorded presentation assignment.

I LOVEEEEEED this class. literally so easy and so fun. prof's lectures were very engaging and easy to understand. TAs made reviewing for the final super easy bc of the final exam review slides they sent out. only thing that was slightly challenging was problem sets but TAs were available to help you understand. 100% would take this class again!

hate STEM but need area c completed? perfect choice right here, exams were literally open internet, easiest A I've ever gotten

he is the best. Take this class over Earth 124I. Matt is so kind and funny and makes the class understandable, he wants you to succeed. exams are a little hard but he curves them. problem sets are also diffucult but go to office hours.
