I don't think I've ever had a teacher as passionate about what they teach than Dr. Meyers. He gives out free exam questions during class and quizzes were open note which was nice. I'd for sure recommend geosci 100 with him to anyone looking for a chill science credit or an extra class to fill their schedule.Rate My Professors ↗
I've never had a professor who loves his job more. Professor Meyers is interesting to listen to, has cool lectures, and turns a gen-ed credit (for most) into something fun. Definitely take this class if you need a science credit, you'll really enjoy your time with professor Meyers!Rate My Professors ↗
I'm not into science I found this class very manageable. You can use your notes on the final and he even gives "free exam questions" throughout the year (make sure to write those down). There are some Canvas quizzes that you have ~1.5 days to complete, and those are also open-note. Would recommend if you're looking for an easy science course!Rate My Professors ↗
Meyers LOVE his work and is very passionate about the subject. Good intro course and easy for non-stem majors. Gives lots of free exam questions during class for the online quizzes and final. Labs were pretty easy too. As long as you show up to lecture and take good notes you'll do great.Rate My Professors ↗
LOVE HIM! Easily the best professor I have had at UW so far. He makes his lectures so engaging and interesting. There was never any HW, really. Attendance is based on "gots and nots", which take 2 seconds, and you don't really need to go to the lecture to do them. Final was light, just take notes and get free exam questions from the lectureRate My Professors ↗
Professor Stephen Meyers I one of the best professors I've had so far at UW-Madison. He makes a geology course actually incredibly entertaining and is an overall really funny guy.Rate My Professors ↗
