Winter 2017 - I would have loved this class, BUT Professor Meng is superrrr boring. It's not an exaggeration. His classes are an absolute DRAG. I always ended up teaching myself what he said in class, because I drifted off al lot. Other than that, this class was pretty cool. The field trip was fun, and Professor Meng has JOKES. I really don't know how someone so funny can give such boring lectures. The labs were super easy. I found the midterm and final really hard but that's probably my fault, for not paying attention.

Winter 2016 - This class has exposed me to surface of geophysics. And that's all. Did I learn how to be a competent geophysicist? No. Did this class get me more excited about geophysics? No. Better yet, this class showed me how to effectively take the excitement out of geophysics, which I personally see as a hard feat. The professor does not have a good rapport with his students. His presentation style is erratic, his expectations are haphazard, and his labs confuse students. This class will likely be the first and last geophysics lab I will take in my life. It is unfortunate that it had to be with this professor.
