She puts all of the course notes online and doesnt really elaborate in class. Though going to class is helpful, it isnt a must in order to pass. Study thoroughly for the tests though bc they get increasingly harder as the semester goes on. No final.

This teacher gives you every bit of information you could need. She gives you very detailed notes online and then explains each one carefully. A wonderful lady!!

This lady is very boring, but it is geology so it can't be very interesting. Pretty easy class, only 3 tests and I learned all the material the day before the class. All notes are posted online.

Sit in the front row of her class. You're less likely to fall asleep during her lectures. Lectures are very entertaining. Her tests are mildly hard, but just study her print-out notes and the Geode disk she provides with the book. I never read the book and I got an A. She drops the first test if it hurts your final average. Overall great professor!

She's a good teacher, sometimes boring, so sit up front. I barelly went to class, made an A. Easy testing, just study online stuff and notes.

she is ok.. just go by the notes and youll do good

She is fine... i got an A and im dumb

she is really easy.i didn't go to class but just read the power points posted. dnt waste ur money on the geodisc

Phenomenally easy. Tests require about an hour of study the night before, don't know how you can not get an A in this class. My easiest by far. Capuano is nice and intelligent, a very welcome class to my hectic day.

SUPER easy. I almost never went to class, just studied the power-points that she posted online and made a B in the class. You don't need the book. Her lectures are very boring.

I do not know why people complain about her. Yes, she is boring and you will most likely fall asleep. But this class was SUPER EASY. Just study hard for the tests which is all pretty much notes from the powerpoints which is online for you to see!Grading is just your average from 3 tests. 78 and up is an A. No way you can fail or do badly. MUST TAKE

This professor is really not that bad, yes you need the textbook, yes you need to read the power point presentations but no you do not need to attend class. the exams are really straight forward and she drops the first exam and yes 78 is an A you can miss like 20 questions!! and still get a b! MUST TAKE!!!

GREAT!

I do not think she is boring, in fact I find her very interesting, but make sure you sit up front because she has a soft voice and its easier to stay engaged when you are closer to her. She relates the topics to real life examples which makes learning easier. She is also a hydrogeologist and water is important to know about. generous curver.

Do not buy the book you don't need it. Just study the power points starting two days before the test(for me at least) and you'll end up with a pretty good grade. Going to class is not mandatory but it does give you a pretty good idea about what's on the tests. If you want a science class that doesn't require hours of studying this would be it.

Can be a boring teacher but best way to stay engaged is to sit in the front. If you sit in the back you will either fall asleep or not pay attention. But class attendance is not required. Class is very easy because there is a big curve and all you have to do is study from the online power points. Easy A or B with little effort.

Really good teacher and simple class...study power points and you'll do well on the test..3 tests drop first one and curves generously

Seems a little boring, but she is really sweet and passionate about the subject matter. I often felt bad about ho students ignored her or the lack of participation during lectures. Don't buy the book. Study slides before test; EASY A. Only grades are 3 tests, curve about 15 pts, drops first test if helps. Easy A for required science core. No class!

Very nice lady tests are pretty hard but i never attended lectures but with dropping the first test and the heavy curves it a very easy A

Wonderful lady. Nice teacher. Attendance is pretty necessary for a good grade. Textbook is useful as it is applied.

Easy if you go to her lectures and study study study the powerpoint slides. If you do this then you will get an A on the tests.

I find geology somewhat interesting (Not a total snooze topic) so I had fun in this class. Just read the power points and you'll most likely get an A. IMO, most of it is common sense so if you have half of brain you should get at minimum a B. Capuano was fairly interesting too. I enjoyed her class, would take it again.

2011, class was surprisingly tough. Study hard, pay attention. He is kinda confusing on what will be on the test. Read the book and study the ppt.

So long as you at least read the power points provided you should do decent in this class. Going to class makes getting an A easier. Expectations were very clear and she is willing to answer questions you have.

This class isn't difficult at all and i barely went to class. All you have to do is study the power points. The only grades in the class are 3 exams. But forewarning, study for the exams over time. Don't try to do it all in one week.

Grade is made up of three exams only. No homework or final. I only attended class on exam days, attendance was not mandatory. Professor reads from the powerpoint, which was available on blackboard for review. I studied a week before the exam and made As on all three. She does drop the first exam only if it helps your grade. Take her, super easy.

I'm a non-science major, so I thought geology would be hard for me but it's whatever. This professor will only ask you what's on her powerpoint slides, don't buy the book! However, you do need to study because it's hard to guess rocks lol

She's a real sweet lady, would recommend for an easy A. Just show up to class, take notes, review notes day before test, get A. The only grades you get are the 3 tests, she curves it anyways. Super easy, not a lot of work really. Would definitely recommend.

I had Dr. Capuano for Hydrogeology and Geochemistry. By far the most concise and clear professor I've had. She really makes sure everyone understands what it takes to get an A in her class. The class is homework heavy, but if you complete and understand the homeworks given, you will be beyond prepared for the exams (which are curved generously).

If you pay attention in her class, do the homeworks, and study for the exams, easy A. The negative reviews must be people who expect A's to be handed to them. She is always willing to answer questions in class and curves GREATLY. One thing she is strict over is cheating. You cannot do homework or projects or anything really with anyone else.

Dr. Capuano knows her stuff. Get a seat up front so you can engage and hear clearly as her voice is pretty soft. If you pay attention in lectures you'll already have an advantage during tests, as she is pretty clear when she hits on test material. Actually learn what's in the homework and you'll score high.

3 tests and no final. I took the class online synchronous, great professor and gives test reviews the lecture before the test. Wasn't a lot of homework.

Wouldn't suggest this course for bad testers. The only thing you're graded on is the 2-3 tests you take based on the (long) chapter powerpoints. The tests are pretty straightforward though, some questions are word-for-word from the lectures. Not hard to pass the class but if you want an A, be ready to study.

Extremely easy classes. Only graded on 3 exams which are also really easy. All the study material you need are on the slide. She records all her lectures.

2 tests and a couple homeworks, pay attention in class and make the most out of cheat sheet! Visit the GLC if homework is confusing, the TAs help most of the time.

Capuano is hilarious. Her lectures are heavy but engaging, she's very particular but still fun. She allows a note card for her exam (just 1 exam) & if you're a grad student you have a semester project. She explains concepts well & the HWs aren't too difficult but can be tricky because of the program you're using. She's very forgiving & curves too.

Attendance was not mandatory and lectures were recorded. Lectures were extremely content heavy and could get boring quickly. Exams were very difficult and were based directly off the slides, so commit your knowledge to that. You were allowed a cheat sheet and exams were curved very generously. Capuano is a very kind and deliberate professor.
