Dr. Dutton was a phenomenal teacher in this class, her lectures were definitely heavy in content, but you learn very quickly that she is extremely knowledgeable in this field of study. She is also very accommodating, allowing for late turn in within reason. i would highly suggest taking a class with her.

Very knowledgable, and her lectures were extremely interesting, I would highly recommend this class if it pertains to your degree, since the content can be very useful in many scientific fields. Difficult content, however it was very rewarding to learn. Would take another class with her.

Dr. Dutton is clearly extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her field! She also cares about her students and provides good feedback and assistance. This was a difficult class, but definitely one of the most interesting ones I've ever taken, and Dr. Dutton's lectures were fantastic.

Seemed nice. Only flaws in the class seemed to be because of the other professor. Lectures could be hard to follow at times, but may have just been the subject matter not being something I particularly care for.

I loved her class. Her lectures are really interesting and made me genuinely want to pursue geology as a second major. Workload is super manageable, with no exams or writing assignments, and it's not hard to do well. Definitely a low stress class. Plus, she's really accessible and down to earth. Couldn't recommend more!!

Very nice, accommodated me while I was having a hard time. Quiz and homework assignments every week along with a lab assignment. There were also assignments to reflect on every lecture that week.
