He does care a lot about the subject, which is obvious.  It is not worth it to buy the textbook.  He will try to help you, but he won't explain anything well.",

Final is cumulative but the questions for the old material were exact replicas of the first midterm. Discussions don't relate to test material, but still go. HW is easy. Pretty interesting class I thought, not all geology is boring!",
