Prof. Winguth has a very thick accent. While she provides helpful study guides that outlines exactly what will be on the test as well as posting notes via PDF and powerpoint slides i found it very aggravating sitting through a whole class. However, her test material and study guides are of some benefit.

She's very nice and seems to really enjoy the subject. I thought that this class would be more interesting, but it's just nonstop lecture the entire time. She does give reviews on every test, so that helps! Attendance isn't mandatory and most people just show up on test days. She posts hw on BB, and emails you whenever a pwrpt slide is up.

Dr. Winguth tries to make an overview of geology, metrology and oceanography interesting. She gives homework 5 or 6 times through the semester which is not difficult. She also provides review sheets for each chapter, take your notes using these review sheets. Attendance is suggested because she gives random quiz questions during her lecture.

This is probably the worst class i have taken in UTA. I don't get the general objective of her class, especially after the 3rd test. It became a horrid class on memorization of continent broke up to form what continent during what period class with little emphasis on the significances of those events. Names and #s don't teach students science.

This class is an easy A! Attendance was counted as extra credit, and tests were super easy. Reviews were helpful and any questions you didn't know were on quizlet somewhere. There were assignments probably every other week and they were an easy 100 if you put in any effort.

Attendance was extra credit, which could help if you need that. Lectures weren't anything memorable, but everything that would be needed on the tests were covered. You aren't required to buy or read the book, but I think for many people that was the difference between a C or B and a high A, if that matters to you.

She was an overall easy professor to understand. There was an assigned textbook but never used it. The assignments were discussion posts and quizzes every week that was fairly easy. There is a lab component to this class so it can feel like more work but overall an easy A if all the work is turned in.

Dr Winguth is a great prof, she really knows what she's talking about and her lectures are amazing. The tests are almost exactly like the reviews and she covers everything you need to know in lectures. Attendance isn't mandatory but she gives extra credit for questions answered in class. Doesn't require a lot of effort to get an A

The weekly assignments are very easy. The professor also provides valuable feedback when grading assignments. I probably read the book only once or twice. The course ends with a final paper and presentation, which is graded pretty leniently. The professor was always willing to help over email. I definitely recommend this course and the professor!

No need to buy the textbook either, there's pdf's online and I didn't even read it often. About 3 assignments were due a week and at max, they took 2 hours to do. Overall pretty average and easy.

She is very knowledgeable about what she is teaching, you do not have to go to her lectures, but if you want extra credit you need to attend class. For every exam she posts a study guide, study from those and you'll be good, however the exams were 50 question and were a little hard for me, but if you like science take her, she is a good professor.

Extremely knowledgeable about topics covered. Not many assignments, only exams, brief written assignments/discussions on Canvas, and LAB grade. All materials were posted, including a review for every exam. Exams were multiple-choice but challenging.

The only real issue I had with this course was the lectures. The PowerPoints she used were bare of information and the lecture was mostly her droning on and on. Very little to no class participation or engagement. The tests were very difficult and had material that was not discussed in class or in the textbook.

The professor was great, with only 3 to 4 discussions and four exams including the final. You have to study the slides and quizlets that previous students made( search geology 1330 Winguth). However, the TA grades very harshly would recommend staying in the lab and working on it and letting her look at it she takes off for every little thing.

This class is relatively easy because there wasn't much workload or exams. The final is a 3-page minimum about topics she chooses for you. However, the lab portion does require a significant amount of time. But the TA provides resources to make it easier. Overall, a good, easy class to take if you need a science class with a lab section.
