Professor is very knowledgable about Geology. It was an interesting class learned a lot. Also took his Lab class. If you attend each class and study, you will pass the class.
Run Away while you still can! He makes you sit there for the whole night while he talks about nothing... He drinks coffee and take vitamins all night... don't take his class, you wont understand what he is saying!
This prof is very hard.He does drink a lot of coffee and water between each sentence. Seem to not know his materials that well. He tents to ask other students to look on thier paper work. Please don't take him if you want to pass, you really work for it.

He is great! The material is not that interesting, not his fault though. If you attend class, study from his notes for the final..You will do fine. He's an awesome teacher, very down to earth but does make you work for your grade. Don't be lazy...I took his lab and class, highly recommend him!!
Run Fast!This prof is very hard.Seem to not know his materials that well.Please don't take him if you want to pass, you really work for it.
This professor to his credit CHALLENGES his students to EARN THEIR GRADE!! If you are serious about learning, then he is highly recommended, if not then why are you attending any class??? Don't whine...Do the work and you will be rewarded!! The school is lucky to have him on the faculty!!
Professor does not prepare his material.Usually rude and does not answer questions.Waiste to much time with videos from internet. If you pay college to learn and pass, get off his class urgent.
pROFESSOR REALLY POOR IN KNOWLEGE. DRINKS COFFEE AND WATER ALL IN EACH COMMA AND SEMICOLON. DO NOT PREPARE MATERIAL AT ALL.DO NOT GIVE MANY ASSIGNMENT TO IMPROVE STUDENTS GRADE. IF YOU ARE A GOOD STUDENT, LOOK FOR ANOTHER PROFESSOR. I DO NOT RECOMEND THIS PROFESSOR AT ALL.
Professor does not prepare his material for class and should not teach on college. He waiste too much time and does not help to improve grades with assignments, because he does not want review homework.I do NOT recomend this professor and you should run away from him or change to another college.
Professor does not prepare his material.He has Notknowledge about material for class. Yes he is a geologyst but obly for his job outside, not for teach on college. He talks about anything just to waiste time that he was suppose to be teaching.You pay for class and books very expensive fees.You deserve learn.I do not recomend this professor.
Professor does not prepare his material material for class. Yes he is a geologyst but only for his job outside, not for teach on college. He waiste time that he was suppose to be teaching. I do not recomend this professor.
HE IS A NICE TEACHER. IF YOU COME TO CLASS TO LEARN, YOU WILL PASS. I HAD HIS CLASS FOR THE FIRST SECTION OF THE SUMMER. CLASS IS NOT HARD. IF YOU STUDY AND DO WHAT HE TELLS YOU TO DO, YOU WILL PASS. I HAD AN "A" IN HIS CLASS JUST BY STUDYING, ATTENDING THE CLASS AND DOING WHAT HE TELLS US TO DO.
Very poor quality. Does not help students. Rude to answer your questions. You have to learn yourself.Does not prepare material before his class, is Geologyst to work out, NOT for teach College' students.
very poor, does not prepare material before class. Not clear. I do not recomend.
Very poor quality. Does not help students. Rude to answer your questions. You have to learn yourself. Why pay college?
This professor will help you to succeed and has high expectations of his class, he is very helpfull and insightful. Show up early for class and pay attention and you will get a good grade.
Easy A. All the info is in the slides very few slides per test and if you read them even once you will get an A. He reviews everything before the test and best of all he is funny he reminds me of the asian guy from the hangover great guy great class!! Dont listen to the whiners that say he is hard they are losers who didn?t even try!!
Soooooo Easy I think he is getting bad remarks on here because he is rough around the edges but overall he is great. If you need and intro class take this one or something he teachs you will learn a lot of cool stuff bout the Earth.
Great Class learned a lot recommend this class to anyone.
Great Professor! Really helps his students learn and relates subject matter to our everyday lives. His study guides are awesome and really helps you to prepare for the tests. Attendance is not mandatory, but you will WANT to go to class! Professor Liauw A Pau really gets to knoe his students and cares about their academic careers.
Great professor. Really enjoyed having him. The questions from the practice exams are the same questions that will be on tests. Study the practice exams and do the review sheets and you should get good grades on the tests. Gives in-class assignments for extra credit points too.
Great professor. He makes the leaning fun by relating it to everyday life. Easy A he gives you study guides before the tests and goes over the answers. A lot of in class extra credit recommend for anyone needing a science.
This professor will help you to succeed. He is very helpful and insightful. Show up for class and study before the test and you will get a good grade. AND he tries to be funny. which is funny. :))) TAKE THE CLASS BEST DECISION EVER MADE!
Great Professor! Really helps his students learn and relates subject matter to our everyday lives. You will WANT to go to class! Professor Liauw A Pau really gets to know his students .
Prof. Henri was amazing! He's very funny and knows about his rocks! If you study with his review & practice exam, You can not fail! The slides also are very helpful! In-class assignments offer extra credit, so show up to class!
He is a very nice professor. Class is pretty difficult. He tries to help. If you do all the work and try you will be ok. It is the best lab i have been in. Only one test (final exam). Lets you out early most of the time. Just dont get on his bad side. Overall he is pretty cool guy
Attendance is crucial to your grade because you are not allowed to make up extra credit. I really suck as sciene but mr. liauw was awesome! He is the best science professor i ever had. Wish i keep take him again. I COMPLETELY RECOMMEND HIM
This professor is extremely hard! I had him for Oceanography 1001. He teaches well but is all over the place. His grading criteria is based on 4 test. So , basically if you fail two test you fail the class. No homework is given. Nothing to help improve your grade. Only the 4 test and mediocre class assignments that are worth only 2%. DON'T TAKE HIM
Most definitely a class you need to be interested in! He was a GREAT professor. Study those powerpoints and come to class for those extra points. I really enjoyed coming to class each day. You will leave with something you didn't know
This class is very difficult. I suggest you don't get it. This professor is nice and knows what he's talking about but cant really teach it. Something that's very IMPORTANT his review sheet for exams suck! big time I had a very hard time studying for this class. JUST TAKE ANOTHER CLASS! DON'T TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!
Please don't take him. He is awful and very rude!This class is very hard and he doesn't make it any easier. He sometimes talks to you like you're a little kid which I find very disrespectful because I am a grown adult. DON'T TAKE HIM!
One of the best professors I have ever had. He is a geologist and has field expertise in the subject. He explains the mechanisms very clearly, and is passionate about teaching. He uses online resources very well. The textbook is important but if you pay attention in class you shouldn't need to read in depth. His tests are very fair, not easy.
Do not take this professor, assigns way to much work for a summer class. If you do prepare to have no life. Takes points off your grade for being late or missing class. Highly no not recommend this guy. This guy should retire.
Mr.L is an AMAZING teacher. He will keep you interested with cool facts, stories and YouTube videos. But his exams are hard, study guides are vague and attendance matters. But he is really helpful and understanding.
Professor Henri was an okay professor. I earned a B in his course, but I really feel like I deserved an A. Unfortunately, due to the fact that he took away a lot of assignments, quizzes, and discussions, I was unable to attain my A. I earned an 85 in his course, which considering all aspects, I am quite pleased with. I just really wanted the A.
I took Professor Henri for lab this semester and passed with a low B. It's imperative to complete all of his online pre-lab assessments and the lab book work. QUIZZES AND TESTS ARE NOT EASY!!!!! Close to impossible!!!!!! That's why the other assignments are important to complete. I don't recommend that you take him for lab.
Had to drop the class. Would've been at a university Fall 15 if he didn't have vague study guides and specific detailed tests, and only 3 all semester. Took him for lab too, class was even less vague and more challenging. Environment was great but teaching style dragged along. Cool guy, but not an exceptional professor.
I read all the negative feedback about prof. Henri Liauw A Pau, but I still decided to take him and it was the right choice. He gave me a second chance when i submitted an assignment wrong. his grading is awesome and super fast. he respond to emails very fast, and he is there for you. I would defiantly take him again.
After reading the comments below I decided to give it a shot and see what happens. This man is a GOD HE WILL SAVE YOU. Tests are fairly simple most of the questions actually come from his practice reviews I was not expecting them to. The hardest things really is the online quizzes everything else is a breeze. Take him you will not regret it!
I was on the fence about taking his class but now I'm very thankful I did. Sometimes he can be hard to understand but he helps you a lot. If you respect him, he'll respect you. I am not a fan of science and I actually ended up really enjoying this subject! He gives you 3 big tests and then a final. IMPORTANT: Study & invest your time in the class!
DO NOT listen to the people that gave him bad reviews. I took him because there were no classes left and I AM GLAD I TOOK HIM!! His tests DO follow the reviews. Three tests and a cumulative final, 3-4 quizzes and some easy homework not much else! TAKE HIM you will not regret it plus he's actually pretty funny!
He's a cool guy, just STUDY and take NOTES. Easy assignments, easy tests and he thinks he's funny. dropped because his class was not a neccessity for me.
I went into this class thinking it was going to be hard bc the reviews but I ended up enjoying it in its hardness. Prof H is a great professor!! Gives you study guides that holds all test info. All you have to do is study and you're good. If you're lazy and looking for an easy A, he's not for you. If you don't mind studying, take. Love him!
I took him for Lab and I thought he would of been difficult however attendance matter please be there on time, It counts especially when you are in need of a few points, oh and we used D2L for assignments which we were able to have two chances on, its not easy but not difficult. Just keep in mind, 2 test 2 quizzes the rest is on D2L. GOOD LUCK
Excellent professor, he is an easy grader and not picky with grades. He gives TONS of extra credit. I would recommend him to anyone. I took the lab with him and got an A and took GLY1010 and got an A too.
Very nice and funny professor. He's more down to earth. My class only had 4 tests, quizzes (on D2L), a few discussions (on D2L), and maybe 2-3 HW assignments. I didn't think it was a hard class. It's definitely not an easy A though. He also gives helpful study guides.
He's a great professor, and makes the content relatable to the world around us. The study guides are great to pass the tests. He makes you work for your grade. Online quizzes, 4 tests, and some easy discussions. Easy classwork grades that help boost grade. He's great, take him!
Nice guy, interesting class, easy A - highly recommended!
This professor is honestly super nice, his class is just tough. The tests are super hard, no matter how hard you study. His study guides are not the best and his tests also have fill-in-the-blank, making it harder. For the most part, his lectures are interesting. He gives no extra credit opportunities.
Professor Henry had excellent communication and responded to emails in a timely manner. He attempts to make his classes entertaining and understandable.
It was a lot of work but I passed the class with an A. He will help you out if you behave and participate. Study guides help out a lot. If you do everything you should pass with an A or B.
Although Prof. Henri makes the class fun, he makes you work for your grade! His test are hard, so you will definitely have to study. THIS CLASS IS NOT AN EASY A! But he has a sense of humor and his lectures are fun and interesting which makes this class enjoyable. (btw he does not give any extra credit opportunities)
I took Prof. Liauw A Pau's Geology class and honestly it was very enjoyable. He does get a little side tracked with stories he has about a certain topic but it usually ends with a joke or a funny remark. I learned a lot in his class and he provides the tools necessary to pass your tests (study guides, hand outs, etc). I highly recommend him.
sarcastic at times. alot of studying. ok class if you study and understand the material.
This is a class I definitely had to work hard in. I had to teach myself most of the material because he would get sidetracked in class with stories or spend the entire time talking about just one point. He's pretty funny, but don't take the class unless you have the time to study hard for it.
Professor Henri is a great teacher. His lectures are really interesting and the homework and tests aren't too hard. He is a really nice guy
I wish I would have followed my gut the first day and dropped the class when I had the chance. Hes a very nice man his class is just difficult especially if youre not good at science. Tests are weighted heavily and worth a large portion of your grade but extremely difficult because its not based on memorization but actually UNDERSTANDING.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! tests are very difficult. Theres fill in the blanks and you have to know the words for it in the exams. He teaches well but you have to study to actually learn. You will not pass this class from memorization. Exams are worth pretty much your whole grade. If you fail 2 of them youre most likely to not pass. BOTTOM LINE DONT
He makes the class fun by doing group activities & is totally straight forward. He literally tells you if you dont study, you will fail his tests. Also, automatically give you extra credit at the end of the course
I have only ever rated one other prof on here for being amazing. This will be my first time writing a not so good rating. He is not great at lectures. VERY test heavy, they are difficult and confusing. If you are not good at test taking BEWARE. DO NOT TAKE HIM. p.s he was not my orig choice. MY orig prof got sick. Talk about bad luck.
For this being a science class it was so hard. His test are at least 50 questions long and 15 of them are fill in the blank. He does provide you with the information you need for the test but you have no time to slack off. I got lucky because this term was moved to online because of COVID. If you take him get ready to work every week no matter what
He is a wonderful teacher. He really knows what hes talking about and enjoys teaching it. His class is mainly lectures and some hands on activities. He wants and expects you to understand the material. There are several tests that are a large portion of your grade. However, if you study and try your best you should do well, I would take him again
Advice for the class is to do all your homework, do the study guides and practice quizzes he gives you. Participate in class because that helps also. After doing that youll be fine.
The professor is prepared for each course. His exams are straight forward and not hard if you pay attention to the material given to study. He gives you hands on class activities to help you understand the material.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I am warning you do not take this course unless you are ready to work. The requirements to take this class are not worth it for the credit. This professor requires you to download a system that monitors you while you take the exam it feels very big brotherish and it's like your giving up your privacy. Take at your own risk.
Professor Pau is a nice guy. I would never recommend anyone to take an online lab class with him. He has way too much material, makes us use this textbook that he published himself, his assignments were way too confusing. I missed 1 class and needed to drop due to the amount of busy work he expects. He talks way too much. Class was awful.
Taking this class after not being in school for 2 years was a piece of cake. I thought it would be hard because it's science. However, Professor Pau really made me enjoy it. He gives so much help, and practice tests that you just can't fail unless you really don't try.
Do not take this professor if your looking for a simple science credit. ESC1000 is a beginner class and an introduction to science. This guy makes it the HARDEST CLASS EVER. Super long lectures and so much homework. He talks really fast and is hard to understand. WORST SCIENCE PROFESSOR. I made a huge mistake taking this class.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS its the hardest class Ive ever taken in my life I hate online classes personally but he makes the class so unnecessarily hard plus theres so much math which I did not sign up for at all, I overall didnt like his teaching and his tests are extremely hard and proctored, def gonna fail this class so thanks for nothing prof.
Amazing professor. It's a lot of work but it's easy. I had him for labs and we had a lot of group work. If you're lazy, a procrastinator, or looking for an easy A. I recommend him for labs.
Do not take this professor!! I never wrote anything on here to rate my professors but this one I just had too. He is not clear, talks way to fast, and Does not care at all if you fail. I had to drop this class in the middle of the semester because he doesnt explain tests well and is unclear about most of the things he says, just Horrible.
I personally liked his lectures, one thing I will say is to make sure you go to ALL OF THEM if you miss one you will be confused
My best semester! You must take his class if you want to learn while having fun and nourishing your brain. Prof. Henri guided and supported all of us all the way. I took both courses, and it was the best decision ever! Too bad I did not take the environmental class and all my science classes with him. He is simply the best! A+ 5stars.
No need to buy books; everything is in the Pearson lab. On top of that, he takes his time to explain with videos, life examples, group games, class movies, and all in exquisite detail to get an A or B. His knowledge and experience make him the best, most caring, and most supportive professor. If you follow his directions, you will get an A.
Professor Henri was a remarkable teacher who speak clearly and made the class very easy to learn. There are four exams that are heavily graded but one is not counted which is your lowest grade. My class and I learn the importance of Minerals, Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and the Ocean World. The lab's activities were amazing to do. Best of Luck to All.
Homework assignment was before the lesson was discussed in class. Which made it hard to do.
This professor will nitpick your entire assignment apart to find something wrong with it. I dont get why we are encouraged to be on top of our work early to then be graded on the day work is due, with no chance to resubmit anything. I usually do great with strict teachers that have a clear rubric and instructions. Now i have my first failed lab.
The professor is very professional, and he always makes us laugh. Show up to class everyday never miss homework assignments, complete and engage in activities and you will pass this course. Many students already had passing grades before the final exam. They were satisfied with A's and B's. I took the final test just to challenge myself.
Honestly, the bad reviews are students that didn't even try. He literally helps you with everything, the work is not overwhelming at all. Plus there is extra credit! It's really not difficult, he was very nice and honest. He actually cares and is very understanding. Don't believe the negative reviews. It's really not difficult unless you're lazy.
Best science teacher ever! I am horrible at science so I was nervous. He is so nice! I did have to do some studying so I can pass the exams but it really wasn't hard to do. We all have to put in work if we want to succeed. There's no reason to fail especially with the opportunities of extra credit and he guides you through the course.
Professor Henri is kind of strict but is very nice if you are committed with the class, a little bit of homework and very picky with the assignments and assistance to class.
I took this professor in fall 2025 and majority of your grade will be from exams. If you're not good at tests I wouldn't recommend you to take this class. His tests have absolutely nothing to do with the study guide so you're better off just studying without it and no matter how good you think you did you'll most likely not do good. Shit professor.
I'm not sure why his rating is so low. I really enjoyed taking this professor. His labs were hands on and fun. Professor Henri is very passionate and knowledgeable about environmental science. His lectures were always lively and his grading was straightforward. He really loves what he teaches and it shows. Definitely take!!
