Alex is an AMAZING professor who truly cares about his students. He is passionate about what he teaches and it shows through the level of care and detail that he puts into his lectures. He is genuinely kind and tries to make himself available to his students and is open to criticism and suggestions/

Very passionate about what he teaches and is able to convey what material needs to be learned well. Not a harsh grading criteria and tests are decently easy if you pay attention.

Easy GE if you're looking to knock out an Area C. Alex's tests were very fair and he also graded on a curve. He posts recorded lectures online. All the test questions came from material on the lecture, so textbook isn't really mandatory.

Alex is always super engaging and funny. He gave us study guides, cheat sheets, recorded lectures for if you miss a day. The lab content isn't on the midterms/finals. Didn't use the textbook - everything is on his slides. There are 2 midterms + final. Overall highly recommend this class. Curved at the end of the quarter.

It feels like Alex is one of us, like he's on our side. Great lectures, and if you pay attention you will be fine on the exams. Cheat sheets encourage you to prepare for the exam cuz there's no excuse to do very badly. Ended with a 92.86 as someone who doesn't love science and am hoping the curve takes me to an A. Make sure you take one of his GE's

Cannot ask for a better prof than Alex for a class like this. He is clearly very passionate about the material he teaches and puts a lot of work into preparing the classes for us. The class has a lot of info in it, but cheat sheets are allowed in exams. Quizzes and labs help understanding. Overall a great prof and a great intro into Oceanography.

Absolutely goated. Favorite professor I've ever had, he is very into what he is teaching and overall has an amazing vibe. Don't skip lectures though if you take this class because he goes over a lot.

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.

He is passionate about the topics and is easy to follow.

Alex is great! He seems very enthusiastic about what he's teaching and I enjoyed the lectures.

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.

Professor Alex is very engaging and explains all the oceanography concepts in ways I can comprehend.

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.

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!

alex is a great professor! i had him for both oceanography and antartica and i overall really enjoyed his teaching. his classes are lecture/slide heavy so just be sure to keep up. labs and weekly quizzes are easy!

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
