Helpful outside of class, if you're sincere. His class may be difficult with what he expects you to know, but you will never forget! Especially good to take Juster if you plan on continuing in geology. I totally would recommend him!

Very enthusiastic about geology. The course was changed to online and that was even better. We just had to do a few activities that required going to the class. And took quizzes on our own, you can take them as many times as you want! I definatly recommend this course!

Very easy class if you are happy with a 'C' You just have to take the quizzes online, which you can take over until you are satisfied with your grade. Digital Poster does require a lot of research for a 'B'. Must do extra activities for an 'A' I liked the class and would recommend it.

basically alot of work. he has alot of concern for the students but no one bothers to go see him to ask q's or go to class. how the **** are you about to pass a class if u never go? thats not the teachers fault thats yours. SORRY!

This class was very interesting. A lot of notes, but he is very knowledgable in the field. If you go to class and actually take notes, the tests aren't bad at all. The only kids I know that said it was hard were never in class.

Basically, go to recitations and you'll be fine. It's true that his tests are pretty hard. I haven't gotten higher than a C...but he is a great professor. He knows his stuff and tries to help you out the best he can. A lot of extra credit opportunities. Contrary to what others said, he was always in class and will help you any way he can.

Look, the class is NOT easy. But if you read the notes that he types up for you online, go to recitation and be at as many lectures as you can stand, you'll be fine. I got a C on the first test and a B on the second because I knew more his style by the second one. The tests are 25 multiple choice and short answer. You have to work for the grade

GREAT PROFESSOR! Take his class, you will actually learn something.

Great teacher.

BEAST!!! Juster is a good teacher. He puts enthusiasm into the subject and gives plenty of opportunity for extra credit. The tests can be pretty hard, but as long as you consistently show interest or show an improvement he'll leave you with a good grade.

He's a great professor who will actually teach you something and make the class interesting. Tests are pretty tough and studying for them isn't any easier, but he gives a lot of extra credit and as long as you try he'll give you a good grade.

Possibly one of the most intelligent professors I have ever had. His exams are incredibly difficult because of how specific your details need to be but whether you get a D or an A, you will learn more than you ever thought you would. Highly recommended for any engineer. Super helpful professor

I took the class via internet. It was a lot more work than I expected. The class takes a lot more time than expected, especially for an internet class. The professor was actually very helpful when I talked to him. The T.A.'s I could never get a hold of. I have a problem with my grade and it's been over 6 weeks and still have not received an answer.

He is a great professor. You will learn a lot in his class. He get's a bit carried away with the work load though. However, he gives you a study guide for everything. So you can get an A, just how much time you have. However, I took this class, geology for engineers, hoping it would be a break...and it's not. Overall, very helpful and nice

This class isn't easy at all. It's very tough and challenging. The professor is really good, he knows his subject well and he loves what he is doing. His tests are pretty tough and hard. His grading is also hard, due to how specific he wants students to be. Attendance is mandatory due to in-class work worth up to 35% of the grade.

anyone who thinks Dr. Juster is hard is either not interested in Geology at all or does not want to put in any effort or time. Follow the study guides for the tests and there's no way you should get below a 95. MasteringGeology is a little time consuming but not hard. He gives extra credit on tests plus drops a bunch of stuff.

Brilliant geologist, knows a lot of engineering related work too. LOTS of participation needed, too much i.m.o. He requires a good understanding of the subject matter, and there is a bunch of subject matter. I'm a senior and I've never had so many different assignments count towards my grade. Borderline ridiculous. Overall, great teacher.

Dr. J is very passionate about geology. He obviously wants people to have a fair understanding of the material covered in his class (and he covers a lot of material). You'll need to study a good amount for this class (there's no such thing as an easy-A here), but it is a 3000 level course. Don't be afraid. Roll your sleeves up and get to work.

This class if by far the most time consuming class i have ever had to take. It is simple and straightforward, you get out of it what you put in it. It is a lot of work though. Mr Juster is a good teacher and is ready to help when ever it is needed. He wants everyone to have high grades, but no one gets them without working hard and deserving them.

Class was not that bad. As long as you go to every class and take notes you should do well. Attendance is not mandatory, but he gives quizzes randomly so you should go so you can take them and get credit The exams are basically some of the questions off the study guide questions he gives. If you find all the answers and memorize them you will pass.

Doctor Juster is a great professor and very understanding. He does give tons of homework, but his grading criteria is very fair. He wants his students to learn and succeed rather than just giving them a grade.

I had Juster for intro to earth and space science and he was great. He teaches all the material for the tests in class via lectures. There are 7 quizzes about textbook material taken out of class. He offers extra credit. Attendance isn't mandatory but there are activities (worth very little of your grade) given each class. He's very passionate!

This class was an easy B. Very much possible to get an A. He lets you know how class will work and sticks to this: lecture for 45 mins, activity/worksheet for 20-25 mins, 5-10 mins for quiz. Only 3 quizzes will be dropped. There are readings to do before each class but they're mostly videos. It's best if you take notes as needed.

Professor Juster is extremely passionate about this course and wanted to make sure that all of his students also left this class with some knowledge they did not have beforehand. If you take good notes in class and study for the exams with the questions he provides you, along taking notes from the book for online quizzes, you will do great.

Doctor Juster was a really good professor. He is very passionate about what he is teaching, and he'll be glad to answer your question. There is a lot of writing in this class, but that is to be expected, since it is a writing capstone class.

Dr. Juster is a super nice guy and works very hard at what he does. This was a writing capstone so of course there was a fair amount of writing, but instructions are clear and explicit and you have an opportunity to meet with him and revise. Attendance is pretty much a must and there are two presentations. Enjoyed the class!

Professor juster is a real gem! Hes so passionate about what he does and he genuinely wants to educate the students. On exams hes very lenient and gives credit whenever possible. He also posts questions to help you study for the weekly online quizzes over material in the textbook that never really corresponds to the topics we learn in class.

Dr. J is a true expert in his field, you can really tell he enjoys what he his teaching. Attendance wasn't mandatory, however, the exams are all based on what he talks about in the lectures so it is in your best interest to attend (plus his lectures are super interesting!)

Dr. J is really smart, but his class is hard (a lot of work)

Dr. J for Earth Science is great. 60% of your grade is online quizzes that he gives the test bank for. The rest is in class tests and activites.

One of the best profs Ive ever had. Passionate about the material and an engaging teacher. Made it so simple to understand, answered questions throughly in and out of class & gave great studying material for exams. If you show up youll pass. Big stickler for phones but thats about it. Its basically impossible to fail this class. Hes amazing.

It's so apparent to everyone how much Dr. J cares about his students learning science. Your grade is half based on online quizzes where you just have to prove "competency" in order to get a 100 which is great, and the other half is on exams. As long as you attend lectures this class is amazing, coming from an English major who hates science.

Was a very good professor. He truly is passionate about Geology which makes it much more interesting to learn. The class does take a lot of work, and skipping class isn't really an option as he gives in-class activities. The exams are also not bad and are not open book. He really tries his best to make sure you learn. I would advise you to take him

Juster is really enthusiastic about Earth Science, but there are two parts to class. Online (textbook use) you answer 70 questions to then take a quiz that you can use your answers on. In-class (lectures, no textbook), you do class assignments and learn about what is going to be on the super-hard exams. In-class and online learning don't crossover

One of my favorite professors this past semester. Very nice and understanding and I found myself genuinely enjoying the material being taught. Dont skip class, theres lots of in-class activities. Ive only ever seen him get mildly upset when someone has their phone out during class, which is fair. Dont underestimate the first exam.

Completing the 80 question study guides for the chapter quizzes are the most time consuming part. But easy because the answers are right in the TB and you can use that study guide when u take the quiz. There is also 4 exams, This is hardest part of the class because you have to study that material, however, theres lots of space for extra credit!

I absolutely LOVED doctor Juster. You can tell how much effort he puts into his classes and he genuinely tries to make his lectures interesting (which they are!). Hands down the most interesting class I've ever taken and best professor I've ever had. He's a super fun guy and cares a lot about you and your grades. 10/10 would reccommend!

Nice professor, work is about average for most classes, material is interesting and his lectures are not boring. Would take again.

Amazing professor! He makes his lectures super interesting. You can tell he is passionate about what he teaches which makes it easy to stay engaged in his material. He wants his students to understand the content so don't be afraid to ask questions. The grade was composed of 3 exams and the labs. 100% would recommend!

This is a flipped class and it is important you do the notes or else you will not be able to complete the in-class activity. There is an in-class activity every class so its important to show up. Exams are fairly easy if you study what he tells you to.

This class is interesting but NOT an easy A like i assumed when i registered. Be prepared for many hours a week dedicated to his online quiz's which is where all your study material comes from. passionate professor who is very willing to work with you, do not miss class if you can avoid it.
