What students say...

"Nick truly knows his material and instead of expecting us to know as much as he does he spends his time teaching the material and only moving on when students understand what is expected of them."

"I have never met an individual that is so passionate about an area of study and truly wants his students to succeed."

"I will never step outside without looking at a rock, or river, or coastal line without thinking about Nick. I didn't memorize a bunch of terms and dump them on a sheet of paper. I learned Geology. "

"Excellent course, I don't even like science and I really enjoyed it."

"He's approachable, helpful, knowledgeable, and explains everything well."

"Nick uses many different methods to teach the class. Visual aids, drawing, writing, even contests to showcase your knowledge of the material. This course was very fun, VERY informative, and I wish I could take another course taught by Nick. It's amazing to see a young guy with such a great understanding in his area of study."

"Nick was super engaging throughout the entire class and made sure to explain anything that was confusing. The pacing worked really well, especially considering that it was so much information to learn in one semester. While I really enjoyed Dynamic Earth, I enjoyed this class a lot more and it was because I found myself being entertained in class rather than bored. Nick made all the material interesting, even the things that you would never expect to be, and because of this experience, I hope to take as many geology classes as I can without changing my major."
