He is an awesome teacher and explained things well. He provides many examples and I enjoyed his class alot.

great teacher

Very easy class. No homework, easy tests. The class can be boring.

He was a really good teacher but sometimes we got off on weird subjects that had nothing to do with oceanography and we would talk about them for days. Other than that he was great!!

I had fun in the class.

You think the class is going to be really easy but he's tests KILL you. But, he lets you do lots of extra credit and stuff, take advantage of it. At first you'll think you don't need to, but you do.

This class is pretty easy. I never went to class except for quizzes. the study guides help but you still have to understand the concept. i got a B+

Amazing teacher. By no means is his class cake walk, but he provides you with everything you need to do well. His study guides are incredible and if you actually use them, you will do well on the test. He is interesting, fun to listen to & very helpful if you need it. I loved this class & would HIGHLY recommend him. Not an easy A, but worth it.

I really liked this teacher. I took the class during the summer and it was great. In order to do well you actually have to LISTEN TO HIS LECTURES, and READ PARTS OF THE BOOK! I hate it when you acutally have to do work in order to pass the class. College really sucks! Please note the sarcasm.

Great teacher. Expects a whole lot but helps out as much as possible. Funny, lectures are easy and enjoyable to sit through. Study like crazy! and do the extra credit! even though you don't think you have to...do it!!

This teacher is a very nice guy but he teaches his students like they are already geo experts. The class is not that hard. You don't have to read much but you have to take lots of lecture notes and the tests are rather difficult. He offers a lot of extra credit though to make up for it.

Dr. Bunds is downright passionate about his subject. He teaches some pretty detailed stuff for an introductory level, but explains himself well and clearly. His tests take some pretty intense study, but it's not unreasonable. And his class is usually enjoyable, though you may need some Skittles to keep you awake. I would recommend him.

People complain about him being unclear but its cuz theyre lazy and didnt read the book. I thought it was clear when I read the book, and confusing when I didnt. Do extra credit he gives and don't be lazy at first like I was. Study guides are pretty thorough, but dont this class without book like I did for the first few weeks. overall good teacher

he was pretty informative for what was on the tests , works with you as much as posible as long as you let him know what is happening he tries to do what he can to work with everyone he like what he is teaching and thats a plus w/ me.i recomend him to everyone.

This teacher explains the concepts well and teaches at a good pace. His tests may be a little tough if you're not good at science, if you are his tests aren't difficult. He says on the syllabus that he expects you to put some effort into the class and if you do you will do good. His moderate difficulty is not a drawback. Highly recommended.

Probably one of the better science teachers I've had. Very specific with lectures and what will be on the tests. However, his tests can be a little confusing/hard. Just study and you should be fine. Writes everything down on the board; therefore it's very easy to take notes. Overall, a good teacher, and very ncie guy.

Wasn't a very good teacher at all. Tests were REALLY hard.

He was a down to earth guy, which makes sense considering he teaches about the earth. Easy to talk to and VERY knowlegable on his subject. Gives plenty of extra credit to make up for any difficulties. It was my second time taking the course so it was a breeze, but you could sweep it on your first try with him.

A good teacher. Pay special attention to his study guides. That is where he draws his test q's from. Says 10's of ... a lot. Simi inconsistent with teaching. No homework required ever. But, you have to do so that you will do well on test.

He is a good teacher. His enthusiasm makes the class exciting. He puts alot of effort into his lectures to make them interesting. As long as you pay close attention to his notes and study guide you can do well on his tests. does require studying and extra credit is an option. great guy!

Awsome teacher, was very entertaining and I thought taught the course material well. Loves what he does, has hilarious facial expressions that kept my attention. (as wierd as that sounds). You must do the homework and read the book. I would highly recommend him.

When I first began taking this class, I thought he was very nice and enthusiastic about the subject. I love going to class every day for the lectures. You really have to apply yourself for the tests, though. Once you learn more about him and his teaching style, the class becomes easier.

If you like the subject you will LOVE his class. Do the homework and study guide for each test and get an automatic 70% if you get lower on the test. Has a quiz once a week. He is boring but knows his stuff. He explains in detail so it sinks in. Good teacher but I wouldent take him again. Helps if asked. For being boring, he's makes it up in looks.

He really is a great teacher with a fun sence of humor. He keeps things interesting and visual. There is a lot of text book use if you want "insurance" on your tests. If not, only randomly given quizes. He wants to help his students succeed and understand the material. He grades on a curve. I like class just because I can stare at him. He's Cute!

Ladies, if you have to take science you might as well take it from Dr. Bunds. He wears truley excellent jeans and is very funny, this makes class fun and interesting. The class is difficult, but he is very helpful and wants his students to succeed. You might as well enjoy the scenery while you're being torchured in science.

Or should we say Dr. Hot Bunds

He is a good teacher and a cool dude. Keeps class interesting. Recommended!

Great teacher, great class. His lectures suppliment the reading really well, and he explains things very clearly. Quizzes aren't bad, tests aren't either if you study. Offers extra credit for going on field trips, and test "insurance." I didn't have much interest in Geology when I enrolled, but came out with a new appreciation for it.

breath of fresh air to have a 1010 tchr who knows how to balance initiating interest with the realistic understanding that not everyone cares. bunds teaches with enthusiasm through grear lectures, text reading, worksheets, ex crdt and multimedia. make sure to study and take good notes *especially on things he makes sound like an aside.

Loved the class! Highly recommended! Explains material great, and is really fun. I recommend not missing class, a majority of the test is from lectures. He makes it fun, and class is fairly easy if you make a little effort.

Professor Bunds was a great teacher. I wasn't too interested in this class before I took it, but he made it fun. He made really helpful study guides for the 3 exams, and there wasn't any homework all semester. A lot of people got A's from him.

He is funny and gives you study guides for tests. Attendance isn't mandatory, but it helps a lot to go to every class. He keeps things interesting, he seems passionate about what he teaches and really helps you understand the material. Not an easy A, but definitely passable. Offers insurance in case you bomb a test.

I was totally freaked out going into this class, as structure has a reputation for being killer. The subject can be challenging, but he was really helpful and willing to answer repeated questions. Field work awesome. Take good notes- a couple things on tests were only discussed once in class and not in the book. Other than that very straighforward.

He's a pretty good professor. He is really clear and very easy to understand. He doesn't require any book work, though he gives you test insurance if you do do the suggested questions out of the book. He answers any questions and has a pretty good sense of humor.

Mike Bunds is a great professor. He knows what he is talking about and able to answer students questions clearly. His tests were easy as long as you studied the notes you took in class. He makes learning geology fun and exciting. I have never had as much as I did in his class.

Good professor- Go to class and you'll get most of the notes you'll need for the tests. He offers insurance for a C- on the test incase you don't do well. I found it helpful to print off the study guides as well to study for tests. He explains everything really well and tries to make the material easy to understand. Take his class! :)

He's really easy to understand, but I found his tests pretty tough.

I liked him as a professor. He gave the best notes i've had in a science class. He was clear when teaching somewhat difficult concepts. I liked him and i would definitely recommend him.

I really enjoyed his class, he is a nice guy and really funny. He makes things easy to understand if you listen you will pass all his quizzes and tests. His homework is a sinch. kind of off the subject at times, but overall I really liked the class.

He lectured at a good speed. I actually had time to take notes. Lectures were clear. Tests were a bit challenging. (Use the study guides! They told exactly what was on the tests.) I do wish he hadn't been gone so much for research during the semester, esp. right before finals. Not good timing. I appreciated the opportunity to do extra credit.

Gave insurance that guarantees a pass on mid-terms, but it's a lot of work. He's good at answering questions & seemed easy to get an appointment with. Gives extra credit, but tests were detailed and difficult. Pleasant lecturer and funny, wanted to connect with the class. I'd recommend him.

Really hard class, but he is an excellent teacher. Very helpful if you ask for the extra help. Test are really difficult, you have to study the notes. He is awesome, he raced motorcycles and it helps that he's a good looking guy too.

Michael is a pretty good professor, but I promised to myself do not take geology again. It was hard especially for me, because English is not my first language, but Michael is always willing to help. I could "travel" during his lectures. Oh Michael, I miss you a lot!

I actually understood what he was teaching but meteorology is pretty hard so you gotta study to remember things. His tests were hard but I managed to get a B+ in the class. His lectures can be boring but bearable. Insurance is actually a lot of work and I'm sure if I did it, I would've understood the material more fully and would've gotten an A.

I can see how the class would be difficult for students not interested in geology. He's a very nice guy. I did well because I am interested in geology and plan on it being my major. If you read the book (which is optional) you will do just fine. The key to this class is to understand the large scale principles.

I loved Bunds. He actually knew my name and made me feel like he was there to help. Though the subject matter is a little difficult, Bunds did his best to help his students and further understanding.

Provided a lot of good slides and content to learn the material. Was very responsive to students who had questions.

This class still gives me nightmares. The math in this class was far more difficult than in my actual math class. The tests are tough, but he actually prepares you for them. The homework is doable, and actually makes a difference. The quizzes can be taken twice, which saved my bacon. Be prepared to work your butt off!

He really loves geology which makes the lectures enjoyable. Very helpful and cares about the students. The tests can be a little difficult. There are usually some questions about things he never fully covered. However, the tests are usually curved quite a bit. Fieldtrips for extra credit.

Prof. Bunds always made class interesting and always wanted to get everyone involved. Every week there is a quiz so I recommend to go to his class so you can write down some notes to pass the quizzes. He doesn't take attendance but if you want to learn and have fun he's the right teacher to take GEO 1010.
