Love him he is so nice and great lecturer and so fair. Front and back cheat full page cheat sheet for multiple choice midterm and final.
I loved Prof Wrobel. He's super sweet and passionate. Lectures are mostly interesting but can get a little dry. Tests are easy with a one-page cheat sheet allowed. Sections have one worksheet due at the end of class (they're all super easy). Highly recommend this class for a GE!!
Attendance to lecture is not mandatory, weekly labs that are pretty easy. Super passionate prof that makes material easy to understand. If you pay attention in section/lectures and prep a bit before exams you will do well. Two midterms and a final.
Professor Alex Wrobel was genuinely one of the nicest and most caring professors I've had the pleasure in taking. He teaches the material in an engaging and interesting way, and is genuinely such a great person who is passionate about what he does, and passionate about his student's success :)
Professor Wrobel is an amazing Earth science professor. His class was a very easy GE. His grading policy is very fair and his lectures are very engaging. His office hours are incredibly helpful if you are confused on anything- I highly recommend going. His midterms and final exams were really easy. Honestly to pass, just memorize terms from lecture
Amazing professor!
Alex is great!! Super nice, shows pictures of his cats when lectures get boring or are super long, is SUPER clear on office hours, provides study guides, and was very communicative. Sections were super fun!! My TA was great and super helpful as well
Amazing professor gave great lectures that were passionate and very interesting. I came into the class not expecting much but came out loving the material and content.
I took Earth 4 with Wrobel and he was great. The tests were kind of difficult since he knows a lot about oceanography; I heard that other classes with him were easier. Very nice and good lecturer
Wrobel is a greattt lecturer. He is easy to understand, good at explaining concepts, open to all questions, and overall really chill. He posted readings every week but I barely read any of them as he explains everything in class well. Earth 10 is a very do-able GE with him.
Professor Alex Wrobel is genuinely one of the nicest and most caring professors. He cares about his job and his student's success, and gives his best effort to guide students and present information in a clear and interesting manner.
He was my absolute favorite professor. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his students and that he is passionate about the ocean. To pass, all you need to do is pay attention and take notes. He is very understanding and even offers extra credit
Alex is a great prof! Lectures are engaging and he is passionate about ocean topics! Easy online quizzes each week, and cheat sheets for every test including final. Watch out for the midterms, they were easy with a cheat sheet but I still wasn't able to get a 100 on any of them, some concepts you have to really engage with to succeed.
Amazing professor but he is a tough grader. I really loved all of his lectures and earth 4 was my favorite class ever. Just disappointed with my grade since he didn't curve it and I was 1% away from a B
Alex is a great professor! Very enthusiastic to teach and knows what he's lecturing on. He assigned weekly mcq quizzes that are probably less than 15 questions. The lecture was easy to understand. He had 2 midterms and one final, all mcq. Workload was light. Also offered extra credit and cheat sheets for the exam.
Really awesome professor! Lectures were very interesting and he was always open to answer student's questions and ensure they understood the material. He allowed a cheat sheet during tests and the exams were multiple choice. Awesome class!
Super chill class, lectures were actually interesting and engaging.
wrobel is one of the best profs i've had here so far. lectures were easy to understand and he takes questions during lecture. the work consisted of a weekly comprehension quiz (8-10 questions) that was take home and worksheets during sec each week, which covered material not included in lecture so it could be difficult at times but still doable
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.
Really good lecturer, he makes an effort to make the content relevant and interesting. Labs were mandatory and worth 10% overall, lectures weren't. Midterm and final are mcqs and make up 75% of total grade, they weren't that hard but you definitely had to study to be getting 90%+. Overall interesting course and can do well without too much effort.
GREAT professor, he does iclicker for lecture, so attendance mandatory, 2 midterms and a final, but multiple choice and he allows a cheat sheet for all three tests. section was alright, but pretty boring and the labs were very tedious. alex is attentive and will always answer questions during lecture and cares about you knowing the material.
Great guy and down to Earth. You can tell he loves his job. Go to every lecture and read the book. Also attend every lab and do good on the quizzes because your grade will drop big time if you dont. Only thing that really annoys me is how important the midterm and final are if you dont do good on those you won't do well. Will curve grades.
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.
Wrobel is a great professor. His lectures are straightforward and easy to understand. In Earth 4, there are random attendance checks, and you get extra credit based on how many lectures you attend. Earth 4 is relatively easy, the labs in each section are not difficult and you can ask for help. Great professor who cares about his students.
