Prof. David clearly knows his stuff!!! His class is lecture heavy, but he gives a clear study guide on what's going to be on the test. He gives a lot of extra credit as well!!! I was at a D, but with the extra credit, I passed with an A. He loves to make lots of Starbuck jokes and he's very patient and sweet!!!

Awful
I admit that Professor Oliver is knowledgeable. However, he's a horrible teacher, lectures for like 10 to 15 minutes on something, yet says we don't need to know that information. He also said that he was going to help us out and give us a study guide. Unfortunately, the study guide was 33 pages long, single-spaced font size of 10. He constantly repeats the same jokes too.

Oliver
I am a quick learner and a hard worker with an interest in applying my expertise in the field of geology. I have experience working on both small and regional scale projects
in the lab and in the field
and under all weather conditions. I also have a keen interest in teaching at the college level
and have extensive training and experience teaching and mentoring students from diverse backgrounds and interests. I possess excellent writing and communication skills. I have presented my research in multiple professional conferences
and have guided students both in their research and in their writing. I am eager to engage in the professional world.
