Makes class fun, tests are hard make sure you study

hes hilarious, but his test aren't, listen hard in lectures, highly recomended!

Goofy guy, but very easy class. Extra credit on every test and curve.

Very nice guy, easy class if you hate GEO classes, let you do extra credit

Peter is so cool! Take him! You will learn so much! Expects alot, but GREAT!

Fun Lectures, Hard Tests, Fun Lab, Really cares about Students Learning Geology.

Exams are tough, study guides, prizes, x -credit, funny!

He is such a sweetheart. .Looks kinda like Kevin Spacey.

took in fall of '01...GREAT prof. Do NOT drink before Angus cruise...BAD NEWS

Great teacher, monotone, but if you take notes you will have no problem.good guy

He is a funny teacher and the cookies on the cruise are GREAT!!!

quizes/exams not reflect what should get out of class, fun prof- like a monkey

He's a nice guy, very helpful, tests and exams are really easy!!!!!

Great professor, very helpful! Fun and interesting class. Extra credit.

Fell asleep a few times, read and youll pass, very funny prof, learned alot

interesting guy. plost his mind but knows his geology

didn't touch my book and got an A. just prepare for tests. he will always help

Wants students to do a good job.Very clear on what he wants.Lots of extra credit

Good prof. Kinda strange but humorous and knowledgable.

Very easy as long as you are there and do your work! He's funny...goofy, but funny!

Test sucks they are really hard

Helpful and clear. Really nice guy. But goes way too slow. Explains things like we are stupid. Prob good for the some, but bad for smart students.

The test are hard, but he gives study guides that pretty much walk you through the test, so if you study you will be fine. Very Nice guy, you can tell he really cares about his students

Dry sense of humor but he does deserve a few chuckles. HE can make things that are broing somewhat interesting.

Such a great teacher! He's so funny and provides a lot of points so you can do well. Cares about students even in a big lecture class

He's the man!

Awesome guy, very funny if you have a sense of humor beyond that of a third grader. You need to know your stuff, but a dude that gives extra points for typing up homework can't be bad. Also the Research cruise was awesome.

WOW! he is great. extremely helpful, provides great study guides, do them and you'll be all set. Offers lots of extra credit. Go to class, in class assignments happen unexpectedly.

Incredibly Nice and friendly guy, but so boring. This class will put you to sleep. Tests are right off the study guides, and lots of EC. Bring a pillow or a newspaper and sit in the back. Easy A if you attend class.

THE MAN!!! Please take him, he is one of the best!

Excellent teacher! Funny and helpful.

very funny

By far, my favorite professor at GVSU so far. He cares so much about his students and will go to any length to help you to succeed in his class. I recommend this class, even if you aren't interested in Geology.

The material is boring, but he makes the class so fun! Exams aren't hard if you study and he gives you pretty much everything that is on them. He is so funny and he really wants his students to succeed!

i dont usually rate my professors but he is one of the best! not only is the class easy but he also gives PLENTY of easy extra credit opportunities that are worth a lot of points. first exam was a little too difficult for a level 105 class, but still waiting on next exam. very helpful and funny. gave a course eval after first exam, GREAT GUY!!!!

This guy is so funny. He does have some boring material, but his jokes and terrible humor are worth it all. I recommend this class for the physical science gen ed. It's a good freshman class, and the teacher really goes out of his ways to present information.

this guy is great. he's really funny and tries to make class interesting. i would definitely recommend taking his class!!

kinda cooky...crazy and out there

To his credit, he really tried to make material interesting and learning it fun. He really wanted to help his students and offered a lot of extra credit opportunities in order to do so. There is a major paper and it's a bare! I would reccomend this professor if you have a good interest in geology.

Dry sense of humor, but overall, the class was good. Go to class, take notes, study and you'll definately get above a C.

Peteys a funny guy who tries to keep his classes relaxed. His teaching style is rather boring, turning off the lights and using a powerpoint all the time. He does give a lot of extra credit. Tests are somewhat difficult, you definitely need to do all the readings, and there are a lot of them, to get a decent grade.

Funny guy. Willing to help. Tests are challenging so study, read, and take good notes. Angus cruise field trip wasn't the greatest but still entertaining. Can be a tough grader. Interesting class.

Funny man, yet for geo100 you will be bored completely and he makes you do a group presentation that is a waste of time and dependent on other group members. Overall an easy class but irritating.

This is my favorite professor by far. He made a class that could easily put me to sleep interesting. If you pay attention in class, you will pass, and he slips in so much humor. He posted review questions before the exams, so if you reviewed these the night before, you could ace the exam. I highly recomend him. He cares alot. very helpful.

LOVED HIM! BEST PROF EVERRR! made me want to be a geology teacher. hilarious! go on the gypsum mine trip. good times. ride with him in his car there too, you'll really get to know him. go to class every day, its not a must but it helps and there's surprise in class homeworks. loved his sweaters. labs were fun. really awesome teacher

BEEEST TEACHER EVER! so awesome. love his sweaters. make sure you make friends with him in discussion, you'll love every minute you talk with him. TAKE HIM!

Prog Reimersma was a great guy. He knows and LOVES what he is talking about. I really have to interest in geology but he made it fun. Test van be a challenge. I am a straight A student andgot B's on the tests but got an A in the class. He offers lots of extra credit. Attendance not madatory but he has pop assignments which help raise grades so go!

Awesome prof! his lectures are boring, but he has a very unorthodox sense of humor. He's rather funny and it's an overall fun class. Get to know him out of class. Hilarious! also gives EXTRA CREDIT out of this world

Hes a really nice funny guy. his tests are kinda tricky some times but i have recieved over 40 points of extra credit so far. i suggest taking this prof if u take geo.

i only took geology as a gen ed to dodge chemistry. but he made it SO SO SO much fun...it was hands on and easy. easier than a high school course. learn a lot and lots of opportunities for extra credit. take him or else take chemistry....

Taking this as a gen ed, but I'm actually really interested. Peter is hilarious and his tests really aren't difficult if you study. GO TO LECTUREpay attention and you'll be fine. He gives great feedback as well; he emailed me congratulating me on an A for the first exam. A few pointless group activities, but they're easy points. Take this class!

Peter is a legend! Greatest professor here at GV by far, wish I could give him a higher ranking than a 5. He makes classes super fun, he might seem weird at first but give him and chance and you'll find him hilarious

He might seem a little weird but he's very interested in what he does and makes it more enjoyable for everyone. He takes his 112 class on a 4 day field trip to Missouri which was super fun. He can be a little boring at times during lecture but it's not too bad. Probably could get away without getting the text book

Peter is a good professor, and he is really knowledgeable of the subjects he taught. He may seem a little weird at first, but turns out to be a cool guy. He offers extra credit during the semester which is always a plus. We read a book throughout the semester and he split the book into two quizzes which were easy if you read the material.

I loved him!! The class was pretty straight forward, just watch all the lectures and you'll be fine. But, the questions on the tests and quizzes are very specific to the lectures, you must watch them. Quizzes every week and three exams.

Peter was a great Prof probably my favorite one this semester. He is funny and has occasional goofy moments in class. I thought the class was easy, but only if you put in the time and do the work. Do the readings, read the book, do the weekly questions, etc. If you do the work you will be fine.

Very lecture heavy class. Go to class to get the information because many answers to weekly objective questions are not on the slides. Several extra credit opportunities. Have to go on a 3 hour cruise, read a book that you take 2 quizzes on in class, and do a creative project on the book. If you put in good effort you will do fine.

Professor Reimersma makes this class fun and engaging, despite the lecture-heavy format. Doing the readings, attending class, and utilizing tools like unstuck study for study prep can help you succeed. The workload is manageable if you stay on top of it.

Hard to stay awake during lectures and LOTS of weekly assignments but it's not too hard. quizzes and exams always fell on the same week which sucked. He's a great guy if you get to know him, monotone but hilarious. Ask to see his sea lamprey lol.
