Great teacher! One of the best I've had so far at CSU. Something changes, he'll let you know. You have a question, he'll answer it. I'm not even a geology major and I enjoyed his class very much. Each week there is assigned homework but it is really easy! Great instructor!

I absolutely loved professor Bryan. He is enthusiastic about teaching students and that is important. He is a really cool guy and very willing to help. He is very fair and fun to listen to. The reading assignments are very time consuming, but lectures were awesome. GET THE E-BOOK. I would recommend him to anyone. Favorite professor so far.

I loved Sean. He was very fair and an engaging lecturer. He cares a lot about his subject and tries to make students enjoy it as well. Tests are difficult, but all multiple choice and easy to pass if you study. He assigns weekly online activities, but you can usually skip the reading. Don't buy a textbook, only the eBook. Show up to lectures.

This class was easy for someone like me who hates science. It's all stuff that most of us have learned before in grade school. Go to all the lectures because there are clicker points but they usually aren't too hard. The one horrible part of this class is the connect homework (time-consuming/pain). Other than that the lectures were easy to follow.

Really easy going

I clickers are used in Geol 120. If you don't go to lecture you wont get a good grade.

Sean is super enthusiastic about his classes. But as someone that's not very interested in science I still didn't really enjoy going to his class (which you have to do to get iclicker points). Don't buy the hard copy textbook. Only buy the eBook. Tests are online except for the final.

Attendance is mandatory bc of iClicker questions every day. It's all lecture & tests for the most part but only 3 tests. Doing the online homework will save you if you don't do well on the tests which can be a little tricky. It's not a difficult class if you just do everything but it's also not necessarily an easy A if you don't try.

Very easy class. He puts all his tests online except for the final which is in class. Iclicker points are taken everyday so if you show up you get a good grade.

4 midterms - all online at home. 1 final - in person. Homework every week - online at home. Not a hard class at all, but you have iclicker points so you need to go every day. Midterms are all really easy.

This class can definitely be long and boring, but it's incredibly easy. Sean is super helpful if you need it, but he offers so many dropped grades and the homework and midterms are online. If you need an easy science credit and this counts, take it.

Sean is a very passionate teacher, and awesome for explaining concepts and providing help. The grading for GEO120 is very clear and simple. You just do weekly homework, show up to class or iClicker points, and take an online midterm once in a while. It's an easy A if you put in the time. Its not hard, but you need to actually use brain cells.

Lots of clicker points in class so you have to go. 4 midterms but all online so it's easy. He clearly cares about the students and material he is teaching. He also is very understanding as well as long as you shoot him an email saying you won't get something done in time.

Geology 120 is a very easy class. If you go to class you will get a good grade. Sean Bryan is one of the few professors to give extra credit via these mid semester and end semester surveys. He is always willing to help students and is very caring. I recommend Sean Bryan as a professor to anyone. If you can take Geology 120 take it!

I had a really great time in this class. Sean is a great professor and really seemed to love what he was teaching. 10/10 would take a class from him again, in fact I probably will be. Grading is very explicit and there is no wiggle room, so yes, you have to DO THE ASSIGNMENTS, but they are reasonable. You get 5 free passes for not showing up.

Easiest class ever, with a good professor. 3 exams and a final, he drops one of the exams. Clicker points daily that you should get. You could be working on an art project and he wouldnt say anything, even though he says cell phones away and no other homework. Hes nice though, take this teacher and class for your AUCC science credit!!!

Sean is a great guy actually. He cares a lot about the subject and does a good job explaining questions. He teaches huge lecture classes but genuinely cares about each person passing.

Sean is a great guy and really cares about his students. His lectures can be a little boring sometimes but he posts all of his slides online and there are only 4 tests and he drops the lowest one at the end of the semester.

Professor Bryan loves rocks and the stories they tell. If you show up and do weekly, easy online quizzes you will pass. He is a caring guy and easy to learn from.

Sean Bryan is a really nice guy, you can tell he really does love Geology. The workload is a bit much for an AUCC class, you have to stay on top of your assignments or you will start to see your grade slip. Clickers are used every class so you have to show up. If you do all the right things and put a good amount of effort in you'll do just fine.

Sean is one of the best profs I have had at CSU. He truly cares about everyone in his classes passing, and he LOVES rocks. His passion makes class fun, there are 4 midterms online, a final, 2 weekly quizzes (2 tries per), and clickers account for a big portion. Go to class and you'll pass.

Sean Bryan really cares about his students. If you dont understand something he will always respond to email and be there during office hours. There are 4 midterms online and he drops the lowest one. We do participation on iclicker reef in class which is a huge percentage of grades, same with online quizzes. This is the easiest science class.

This class is a very large lecture so almost everything is online. There's two online quizzes a week, which I thought was kind of a lot, but there's two attempts on each one. Sean is very passionate about geology. As long as you do every quiz, online midterm, and iClicker, you should pass. Lot's of things to do but not horrible

Sean does a great job at making this class as easy as possible, providing tons of resources and clear communication. You get an 8.5x11 sheet of paper on tests for notes (both sides) and quizzes are open note. iClicker is a big part of the grade and really boosts you up. Quiz answers are easily found in the textbook and he gives you two chances.

If you are reading this right now there is a 90% chance that you are trying to decide between taking GEOL120 or another AUCC science class and lab. TAKE GEOL120 YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. The class is really easy because Sean did such an amazing job designing the curriculum to the point that even when you're not learning, you are somehow learning.

Dr. Bryan is very passionate about what he teaches, and he honestly does a good job lecturing to about 300 students at once. The material, however, is extremely dry and doesn't latch on to a lot of people. Most students take this class for the AUCC credit, with that said, a study group would have helped me a lot more.

Sean is super passionate about geology and teaches a pretty easy class. You have to go to lecture because there are a ton of iclicker questions. The book is free and online which is a huge plus, I never really used it. There are a ton of cushion points so if you don't do super well on the tests (where you get a cheat sheet) you'll still be fine.

I loved this dude. He wants you to succeed, there are no stupid questions, and he's very available. My only complaint is at the beginning it was reading heavy, but it mellowed out. Now I don't even read the book, his lectures are enough

Overall I really liked the structure of Professor Bryan's class but sometimes felt like the lectures were a little boring. There are a lot of small quizzes, 4 tests, and then a final which were all fairly easy. I felt like I learned a little bit in this class and it was a good class to fulfill my AUCC credit.

Professor Bryan is a super good professor for an AUCC class. He makes the material accessible and the textbook is free. There's a weekly quiz/RPA that counts for participation, a weekly survey, and 4 summative assessments. If you pay attention to his lectures then you really don't need to read the book for anything other than if you have questions.

Great teacher!

Anyone that hates on Sean for Geol 120 is my enemy. He is extremely passionate and it shows in his lectures. He has a quiz system that ensures you understand it, that I didn't take advantage of (take them as many times as you want). If you attend all the lectures, do I-clickers, get 100s on the RPA quizzes, you should get an A, or a very easy B.

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant human.

tests are hard and content is boring. he is very caring and friendly!

Awesome guy, mid class.

Easiest A you'll get for a science class, don't go to class just sign into the iClicker and chose a random answer. Four exams and all the answers are online, but don't take the lab because the TA's make you stay the whole time and it just sucks.

GEOL121 is a lab, my TA was amazing- fun, inspirational, and most importantly I enjoyed coming to class. Ive taken sean's lecture and loved it and loved the lab even more. Didn't love the two field trips as it was messy and annoying. Labs can be difficult to understand without help from TA.

Sean is awesome! You can tell he really loves geology. He puts a lot of effort into lectures and activities. If you are taking geo120, MAKE SURE you have Sean!!!

Sean Bryan was a descent professor for this required class to graduate. While you are technically required to do readings, I never did it and ended up just fine. However, lectures are a big deal, but I managed to end with a B while only going to half the classes. Also, lectures are very boring.

Sean Bryan was a great instructor! This class was a little challenging if you do not pay attention to the lectures and take notes. I did not bother reading the textbook. Lots of iclicker but he drops 6 absences. Most of the tests are online including the final which is nice. I think that the course material is just hard because science is hard!

A lot of lecture time but really fun topics

Sean is genuinely a great professor who values the material he teaches. The only thing is the difficulty is made to sound easier than it is by advisors. Attendance is mandatory because of iclicker; however, he drops 6 of them throughout the semester. He is also very accommodating to disabled individuals (at least in my personal experience).

He cared and actually new what he was talking about. I wouldve loved this class if i was actually interested in geology

I actually had him for NR-140. I think his rating should be way higher. I didn't take geology with him so idk maybe hes different in a harder class but dr bryan was so sweet. he actually responds to my emails and he really did care about his students. he was super lenient with attendance and late assignments.

Sean was actually a great professor, if you pay attention in class and actually go most of the time this class is not difficult. He also gives lots of practice quizzes to prepare for the final which I'm assuming most of the people who left bad reviews did not do.

I really liked Sean. All of the exams are online except for the final. He does an iClicker but it didn't count for part of my grade and he doesn't have the location setting on so did it from home. Assignments are extremely easy but the final was very challenging. I had a 96% all semester but the final dropped me 10% Ended with B+, very manageable

I took this for my AUCC and liked everything I learned about. A student passed in our section & he was really kind abt it. If you just do all the busy work and do a quizlet for exams ur fine. Idk what the drama on here is abt tbh. It's a science class that's for everyone ofc it's gonna be hard to cater to everyone. He's a good professor.

I never met Sean, only the TA who taught my lab, but this lab is very well organized and very easy to do well in if you try. I actually learned a lot and had fun. Would recommend!

Never met him as he was my lab professor, but communication with him was incredibly easy, allowed me to make up a final due to a family issue. He also really cared about my accommodations.

I would recommend that if you decide to take geology attend office hours when you're stuck. Professor Sean is extremely professional and always answers emails. Use quizlets and study with friends.He is more than willing to explain concepts during his office hours and making sure you feel confident in his class!
