excellent instructor! lots of enthusiasm for the subject. does require a bit a work. recommended

Gwynn is the best geology teacher! She is very excited and enthusiastic and teaches very well. she does require quite a bit of work but it's all fun and she makes sure you are learning. explains things well and makes class fun to come to. i totally recommend her class she rocks!

I took GEOL101 online, and it was the best online class I took at BCC. Don't take this class because you want to slack off, because there's lots of work. However, she is very very helpful, and gives opportunities to get feedback on labs before they are turned in, and exra credit too. Recommended!

She's an excellent gifted teacher who's very passionate about her subject and student's success in the class. That being said, she's by no means an easy teacher. She expects a lot but she also gives even more. Excellent kind funny compassionate intelligent instructor. Highly recommended for any science class.

My favorite teacher yet! I definitely reccommend her to anyone. tough class online, but she is extremely helpful.

A lab science class... ONLINE!!! It was an odd concept, but it worked out! It's not too easy as an online class, but she did a good job. Funny, never even saw her once.

She was very helpful.

Great Teacher. She makes class interesting. She makes you work so you get a lot out of it. I loved the class and her as a teacher

The thing to remember that this is an online LAB class. Plan on it taking as much time as two classes, the GEO and the LAB. Gwyn makes very involved information very interesting. I really needed to take my lab science online, I think it would have been a disaster if I did not have a teacher so interested in seeing us succeed.

EXCELLENT teacher! She was so helpful, always posting great information on the discussion board (this was an online class). She does all she can to make the course FUN and as simple as possible. She even lets you presubmit labs and get feedback (even tells you which ones are wrong); SO helpful. You can tell SHE LOVES HER JOB. I loved this class! :)

She's a great teacher, but she's tough. Her tests are hard and some of the homework is really time consuming. We did get to go on a field trip though. This class wasn't an easy 6 science credits, but she's a great teacher and she's passionate about science stuff.

This is an online geology lab class, so be prepared for a lot of work! 20-30 hours a week to do well in the class. that being said, Gwyn was an awesome teacher who is enthusiastic and loves her job! not many instructors out there who still care that much!

Gwyneth is an amazing teacher. She is very passionate about the subject she teaches. Beware-- she assigns A LOT of homework-- she keeps you very busy. But the assignments were very helpful and taught me a lot. Gwyneth also offers a lot of opportunites for extra credit. Overall, I highly recommend taking her class! =)

One of the best instructors I've ever had. I had very little interest in the subject (or in any science, for that matter) and she made it fun and interesting without dumbing down the material. Funny, smart, and inspiring. I highly encourage taking her class even if you have no prior knowledge about or interest in science.

This teacher expects us to do a ridiculous amount of work, 20-25 hours a week!!! How are you supposed to go to work and take other classes with that much work? I am taking this as an online class. This teacher is terribly strict, and unfairly so. She does not care if you have any technical difficulties, you're assignments better be on time or else!

Gwyn is amazing and I learned so much in this class. Her assignments are challenging but fun and she is very helpful! She's really in tune with her students which I found amazing being an online class. I highly recommend this class and would assume that her other classes are amazing as well! Don't expect it to be easy though.

The coolest professor, I still talk to her a year and a half out of her class. Thats the kind of teacher she is, she wants to get to know her students, she's extremely passionate about what she teaches. Her passion makes learning alot easier. It's alot of busy work but not difficult if you do all of it. I Highly recommend her!

gwyneth was a great teacher... she is very nice and very thoughful.... really easy to approach... lovely

Gwyn is a great professor, and teaches this class with a University level of instruction. The class is hard, but accessible to science, and non-science students, largely in part to Gwyn's efforts to be available. Have a question? She'll answer it. If you put the time in, you'll end up learning a ton. One of the best teachers at BCC, hands down.

LOVE Gwyn! She rocks! Very engaging, good at keeping things interesting and always willing to help. Very generous with extra credit opportunities.

Expect to read the chapters and get a head start on labs outside of class. Gwyn is definitly a good teacher, with a fun, laid back mentality. All our quizzes/tests were online, why I recommend the hybrid style. Tests and quizzes generally fairly easy. Class was easy, just keep up on the reading and you'll be good to go.

Gwyn is great!!! You have to take her class. I took this as a hybrid. Read her instructions and follow them word for word and you are bound for success. She is super helpful and answers questions online very fast. She gives a lot of work, but it is all very clear and easy. Be prepared to work, but you will enjoy it!

Gwyn is GREAT!! Her class is not an "easy A" but everything is clear, and she couldn't be nicer!! She's always so helpful and upbeat! I took the online class and as long as you keep up on the work and do your labs you'll do fine.

Kept herself accessable for online students and instilled a passion for the subject in all of her students.

She is an exceptional professor, caring for students and shows interest how much one has learned! She is very profesional and dedicates time outside the class to make sure student understands the subject. I took oceanography class 2 years ago and found a lot of information I learned that it helps in my daily life. Thanks to Ms. Jones!

Mrs. Jones is one of my favorite teachers at BC. If you love getting endless oppertunities for extra credit then you'll love this class. Labs were easy, quizes were average and overall she is an amazing teacher who cares about every one of her students. Enjoy this class!

This is definatly a college course. Lots of work, lots of reading. Gywn was helpful in class, if you ask her questions. However; she may say attendence is not required, but if you want her to like you, then you should go. Overall, it was a pretty hard class. I ended up doing everything twice just to understand. Though, i do recommand her.

This class is so much work. Her teaching style is very rigorous and voluminous. Her assignments require thinking and above and beyond effort. IF you are passionate about the material, you will learn a lot. For that, she is a great teacher, but beware this class can quickly become a GPA wrecker if you aren't inspired by all the stuff you have to do

Gwyn is extremely helpful and always answered my emails. There was a lot of powerpoint material but it takes the place of normal lectures you don't go to. If you do the textbook reading then the quizzes are straightforward and the ppts are easy to follow. For an online class this was really interesting and I actually loved the class. Theres EC too!

At first, I complained about the amount of work in this class. By about week 3, I got the hang of the workload. She is very helpful, she has high expectations but are reasonable for the class. I really enjoyed the structure of this class. She also chat online to help prep for the exam. Only 2 of us took advantage of her help.

Gwyn is an amazing teacher, who really cares about the subjects she teaches. There is a LOT of work, she expects a ton out of you, and the homework is rigorous. That being said, if you show even the slightest interest she is so incredibly helpful, and will spend time meeting with you in person if you ask. It's not easy, but you will learn a lot.

Great teacher, great class. She really has a passion for the topic. No tests or final but a heavy amount of homework every week. It isn't hard just time consuming. Due dates are really consistent, but she really falls behind on grading. Attendance isn't mandatory but it is a good idea to go and participate.

Class was amazing! She totally expects a lot of work from you, but is so much fun. She's incredibly understanding and helpful as long as you show up for class once a week. :) No tests, and she tries to source all of her class materials from places that are FREE for students. I have had her classes before and would love to learn from her again.

This is a great course to really learn what you are paying for since you are writing essays for everything. This class felt like a 6 credit class. I previously took eng101 and geo101, while working full time, but I had a hard time to make time for just this one class. Expect two essay papers & research paper a week & a project thru the quarter!

This teacher is very clear on what needs to be done, and if you follow her instruction, you should be able to get an A. Yes, the class is very time consuming and a lot of work however, it's for good reason. There's so much info to learn and the assignments are set up in such a way that makes you retain the info and actually learn from the class.

I took this class just to fulfill a science requirement, ended up having a lot of fun and learning a ton. It's time consuming, much more so than I expected but worth it and Gwyn provides great feedback and is super helpful.

Very well laid out course, interesting information. You can tell that she is extremely interested in the subject matter. When she grades you get the impression that she has actually taken the time to read all of your work; be prepared to work hard, there are a ton of assignments. Take this class, it's rare to find a teacher that cares.

1. Do the service project-it's a grade worth and she gives great ideas for it. It doesn't have to be complicated. 2. Register for Hazard City (in front of bookonline). A couple of assignments use it and it's fun (you can take the assignment out of the book but everyone is doing the same thing then). 3. Ask for clarification-she'll answer.

Instructure Gwyneth was very helpful throughout the quarter,always answered questions ans gives clarifications right away. It is a very interesting class, this class has some information that I belive everyone should know. So if you love nature and want to know more about natural hazards or you just need extra credit ,this class is great.

Professor Jones has put together a curriculum that really helps you learn the material. She is not big on tests and everything is pretty much 100 pt per paper. The class has a great deal of information to learn and if you stay on top of the homework you will do just great. This was a fun class and the Professor is creative and gives you some room!

overall, everyone is right in their answers. It is very demanding, and difficult. Need to know calculations for the first couple of weeks. She is ok, fair, need to be persistent. She has a huge class load.

Very helpful. Tough class overall but very clear expectations and great feedback.

The instructor is great get ready to actually learn the subject matter. This class made me feel very engaged and wanting to learn more. Except a lot of work good thing there are no exams.

Lots of reading in this class!! If you aren't big on textbook reading i would stay clear. Teacher is great, gives great grading criteria and directions are always clear. There's a lot of participation with other students as well.

A lot of homework. Expect two time-consuming assignments and a quiz every week. Class is hard, though she was pretty helpful.

Professor Jones was a joy to be in class with. She is extremely flexible when it comes to the class. I wouldn't say that attendance is necessary, though I took this class as a hybrid so keep that in mind. I plan to take another class with her again in the future. Her grading is honest and she's incredibly helpful. No tests, but lots of homework!

There is a ton of home work, but you learn a ton. She always responded to me and if you have a question you post it on a class wall where she answers questions because sometimes class mates might know the answers or be able to explain the math, yes there is quite a bit of math.

No quizzes or tests. Do the assigned worked with thoughtful responses and its an easy A. Be respectful and don't try to pull one over on her, students in my class got called out on their crap real fast. 6 hours max a week I spent on this class for homework. Only in class 2 hours a week.

It was overall a great class! but i think thats only because i really enjoyed the content. If you are taking this class for fun, then I recommend to take an easier teacher. She gives pretty dense assignements ( write up 600+ Words every week). Howeve , there was no tests! There was a project where you had to volunteer or make a difference somehow.

There was a difficult, yet realistic course load for this online class. It covered a lot of material, but it also taught me many important facts about geology. I found Professor Jones to be fair and prompt with her replies. I would definitely take a class with her again.

She's awesome!!! Lot's of reading but the work isn't so bad. This class is much easier if you're a strong writer as there is writing assignments weekly. Loved this class!

Her class is pretty systematic. However, there is regular homework, week in and week out. I took her oceanography class and got a b+ i am currently taking her geology class and getting an A. If your lazy find another teacher. There is reading, folowed by 2 small assignments each week, about 6-8 hours of work each week. Follow the grading standards

For this class, you have atleast (usually) 3 assignments a week. One is a two part assignment based off of the textbook. These are very reading heavy, but the material is easy to understand. The second assignment is a journal entry, which varies more per week. She also gives extra credit and drops 2 lowest grades.

The class is semi-difficult because there is a lot of memorization. Who likes to memorize rocks? The teacher is nice, helpful, but can be condescending. I'd much rather take this class than other lab sciences. You pretty much need to know everything in the book.

There is a lot of work, but the Professor drops 2 lowest grades for each assignment and there are tons extra credit opportunities. Each week there are 3 different assignments ranging from weekly textbook readings and summarizations and weekly journals that require lots of research. But I learned a lot of practical information from this course.

The teacher was very helpful through 1 on 1 communication, but very homework-heavy, takes a lot of time and reading to understand the material.

Professor Jones was very nice. Each week is very predictable: 1 Q&A Post, 1 Q&A Reply, 1 Journal. No exams/tests. Professor drops 2 lowest Q&As, 2 lowest Journals and 1 "Other" assignment. Assignments require lots of outside research and it is crucial to gather info from credible sources. EC opportunities within a few Journal assignments.

It's been a while but I forgot to rate it earlier Very kind and willing to talk if you have questions or need help
