I absolutely love brother lovell!!! I hated geology and still do hate geology, but he made it somewhat bearable. He is the most humble and caring man a person could be, and it's such an honor to be taught by a person like that. It's not an easy class, but an A is doable.

This class is a waste of time and money. He is not organized and has tons of useless busy work. Sure, he's nice, but what am I learning-not very much because I never know what topic will be covered in class. There is no organization and I have no clue as how to pass this class. Interesting fact and that's it.

He's a good teacher and I learned alot about energy. The only problem with the class is that there are not many test or quizes and other opportunities for points and he can be somewhat critical with the grading. However he lets you know what he wants so as long as you follow what he says its a fairly easy class.

Brother Lovell is AWESOME. He wants everyone to succeed and enjoy his class. However, the class set up was a hard to follow (no real semester schedule, assignments & such added randomly). As long as you came to class, did all of the assignments, etc. the class is fine. You just can't know what to expect; it changes each class (only downside really)

Great person. Just read the chapters and participate in class discussions to learn what you need to for the tests. Good pretest reviews. The class is really simple yet provides great opportunity to learn. You have to participate to get the most out of it. Your grade will be fine if you follow the reading schedule. Hardly any HW. Good class.

I really like Brother Lovell. He is concerned about his students, but he expects you to act like college students. Make sure you read and study things to talk about in class because he doesn't like to plan too much. The whole class depends on how much you, as a student, want to learn. If you don't come prepared, I gaurantee you won't learn much.

Not very organized, we don't really know what is going to be on the test because class is usually just discussions about things and not much homework to apply it but the tests end up being pretty easy anyway. Out of class work was mostly just group meetings to do worksheets or prepare presentations about energy solutions.

He is the nicest guy, but I have a hard time being motivated in his class because I never know what to expect and I rarely can tell what my grade will be on an assignment because his TA's (who we've never met) do all the grading. He is a great guy, but the class needs organization.

Super great guy. Just read the book, participate in class, and do the weekly current events and you have it made. Not a lot of accountability so you need to do the little that is required to pass, but its not hard at all. If you will read the book you won't have problems. You get out of the class what you put into it. He is a great person.

The class was pretty much how I expected it to be. Limited structure, kind of laid back. But I do think that the curriculum for the class is alittle hard to spread over an entire semester. Lovell did the best he could with a class that really wasnt his cup of tea anyways. You could just tell he was dying to go teach his passion, geology, instead.

He's a pretty easy teacher and is always willing to help students out. He knows his information well but I don't like the class he teaches. If your taking FdSci 200, take it from him.

He's a very spiritual. He is very passionate about the subject. Class sometimes started a little late. It wasn't always clear what we were covering and when since he just gives a list of chapters to read for that week, not for a particular class period. Overall a good and easy class.

Very kind and nice man. Almost always daily group assignments and daily readings and homework. Some tests harder than others--overall not too bad. He dropped our lowest test score, out of five tests. I would take it from him again.

Great teacher, cares about his students. Not the easiest, but wants you to learn. I recommend it, but do not expect to slack off

I loved his enthusiasm about the subject. He is super fun and, even though the material wasn't the easiest, he helped inspire you with the desire to learn so it was easier to work.

The material for GPS is stupid, but if you're willing to speak up and ask for help from the TA or Lovell they'll help you one on one and walk you through everything - Easy A. Lovell's old and kind and thoughtful so just be nice to him. A smile and hello in the hall or thank you at the end of class means a lot to him.

Brother Lovell is such an amazing guy. He loves his students and he knows what he's talking about and he is very passionate. The class wasn't the greatest though. The lectures were kind of hard to follow and he didn't spend enough time on some subjects. Also most of the learning was to be done from the online textbook which is such a pain to use.

Brother Lovell is a good professor that really knows his stuff. He can be a bit scattered and it affects the lecture content. the problem is the class itself, there is way too much information packed into one semester and the only learning you do is from the online book. To get a good grade in this class expect to memorize every line.

Nice guy but class is literally PowerPoints of the reading. The course itself is EXTREMELY heavy and the exams are super hard and nit-picky. *I wouldn't recommend this course unless you absolutely HAVE to take it I fell behind and stopped working in the course, and never once did he or his TA reach out to check-in, which would have been nice.

He is a great professor for geology! I only had him for the lab but his enthusiasm and friendly personality made the often rigorous labs a good experience. He likes to make geology jokes and is very caring towards his students. Him and his TAs will help you get done the work that you need to if you show up for lab times.
