Although Cheryl was an outstanding teacher, she seems to be entirely unaware that not every student is a prospective geologist. Along with that, she might as well change the class name to ROCKS. You spend most of your time learning about rocks and identifying them rather than the processes behind their creation.

I am in her on-line summer course right now and this class is like a full time job. All of her assignments are due at 10 pm. She assigns so many assignments that are due the same day a test is. If you have a full-time summer job don't take this class because you won't have time to do it. She is somewhat unorganized and isn't very considerate at all

She acts like alot of her students are geology majors when actually we just need this class for credit and most don't even really care about this stuff. She makes all of the assignments so hard and they are SO LENGHTY. a lab assignment will take me at least 2-3 hours depending on how long the lab is. her tests are insanely difficult as well.

Cheryl is a nice person, but her online class is very unorganized. There will be at least 10 assignments every week, and the quizzes and tests are very hard.

This class is advertised as being for students who are not science majors. This couldnt be further from the truth. EASC 111 is highly demanding. I easily would spend 15-20 hours a week on this class. I would study for hours to receive a D on a test. The teacher assigns so much homework most of it is left ungraded. I do not recommend this class.

Resnick is nice and cares about her students. HOWEVER, easc 111 is SO HARD. I spent SO much time on this class. I feel bad leaving her a "meh" rating because she is really nice and puts in a lot of effort for her students, but I just think this class is way too hard because it is described to be for beginners. Get ready to spend MANY hours a day.

For the online lecture, there was a lot of homework, however, it didn't cost that many points if you had to skip a few assignments. In the lab, she was very helpful and sweet. Fantastic professor.

She is definitely a homework heavy professor. There are many assignments a week, but they are short and easy for the most part. Her tests are not too difficult if you take time to study. If you are interested in science, I recommend her class!

Professor Resnick is very sweet and super nice but lacked her interest in teaching the class. Everything that was not automatically graded still has not been graded and the grades for the end of the semester are due tomorrow. She was not available to contact in a timely manner either and fell very far behind.

Cheryl is a good person I know that. She is definitly passionaate about geology.On the other hand this class has been the hardest class to follow. Homework will be due but you have to go through a savenger hunt to find the online homework. Instead of the homework being posted to canvas and being acsessable right through the dashboard menu.

This class was very hard for me. A ton of work. Sometimes stuff online is not put on canvas so its hard to find the homework. That resulted in me getting lots of 0s because she takes forever to grade work so I did not realize for awhile. Fine professor but too hard. Some people dont care about science and just need the credit and she doesnt get it

She is a very sweet and nice person, however this class is EXTREMELY homework heavy. Much of the hw is busy work, hard to find, or isn't graded for a long time. She acts like we all are majoring in geology. You will have a hard time if you miss any lectures as she doesnt post the notes. The powerpoints she does post will have blanks spaces.

I am a Social Work major, this class was a Gen-Ed for me and I had been told by my advisor that EASC 111 was the easiest option. Cheryl is an extremely nice woman, however she acted the entire semester as if we were all EASC majors. She takes weeks, sometimes months (to grade) and she assigns 4-8 assignments every week. I would not retake.

Professor Resnick tons of experience and is very interesting to listen to. But this class has a LOT of homework and Prof gets very behind on grading. If you try, it isn't a hard class.

EASC111 is a challenging course, but Cheryl is a passionate professor. Use Unstuck study alongside the textbook to stay on top of the heavy workload. The class is rewarding if you're willing to put in the effort.

As others have stated, a very nice person. However, she seems to think that everybody taking the class really wants to be involved in geology. We usually have about 5-8 assignments a week counting lab, and the lectures were very boring when we weren't doing things outside of taking notes. We also had 3 exams the final week of school.

She is a talker! Always has great stories. There is a lot of homework and online quizzes. I have missed a few days and I still have a decent grade in the class. She does a token thing if you miss an assignment or class or whatever. Recommend reading the text book and STUDYING for the exams they are challenging

Professor Resnick is one of the best professors I've had. Her lectures are engaging and informative, homework is manageable, but her exams are challenging. She does posts grades late more towards the end of the semester, but all and all I would gladly take another course with her.
