Topic Outlines

I often ask students if they have any advice for future students who will take Geology. Here are their ideas:

Fall 2018

Read your notes every day after class and rewrite them as needed.

Use the course outlines as a study guide. Don't depend solely on your notes from lecture. Rent the textbook and read it.

Pay attention, take notes, and ask questions. Put the time in!

Make sure you know how to explain in-depth and ike you're explaining to someone who doesn't know anything. I wrote out all explanations before every exam which helped me.

Study. Study. Study.

Relax, take functional notes, ask questions, and be open to studying the subject matter.

Make sure you read everything carefully so you know what the questions want from you.

Even if you are not a science major, open your mind and try learning the material in small chunks.

Take notes on more than what's on the board, and bring pictures to class.

Ask questions.

Notes alone will not help you on the test. Use his website to help you understand the topics well.

Pay attention in class, take all the notes available, show up to class.

Stay on top of studying because there is no outside work. You must make time to remember. Be on time.

Fall 2017

Use the topic outlines, and study after each class. That way you'll retain information better, and won't have to cram the night before the test.

Go through the outline before the test! It's all on there.

Get help with short essays. Talk to the professor about progress. have fun.

Come to class alert and focused. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Before any new topic is started print off the topic outline. It gives you a great study tool.

Attend lecture, pay attention and take good notes and you'll do fine. Along with study outside of class.

Ask questions on what you don't understand and pay attention because what we go over will be on the test.

That professor Wehling is very unpredictable. Be prepared to be confused occasionally.

Take notes that you don't write on board. Stay in tune with the information and try to visualize the info because it makes it more beneficial.

Don't buy the book. Attend all lectures. Take good notes.

Good notes equals good grades.

Study! Make sure you understand the notes and the class will go just fine.

Take really good notes. Don't miss lectures.

Go to all the classes. Follow topic outline.

Ask for help when you don't understand.

Fall 2015

Attentively take notes and follow along very closely in class. Also, try not to miss class, ever.

Do your 'homework'. Study outside of class. This is not an 'easy A'. Just like math or learning an instrument, it is crucial to keep uo outside of lecture and create creative ways for yourself to study at home.

Come to class. Take good, clear notes so when you look back you understand your writing. Study groups with classmates help.

Take detailed notes. If they make sense to you, it will be easier to remember the info for the test. If you're a visual learner, print off the pictures and use them to take notes.

This class is not that hard. if you show up and think occasionally you'll do fine.

Write down the notes then for anything you can, draw out the process of it.

Adjust your way of looking at the course compared to other courses. Take the CSI analogy to heart. The proper way to look at this course material is "Here's the result. What caused it?" versus "Here is what you begin with. What is the result?"

Show up to the lectures and take good notes! Go to lab to get extra points.

Study groups are very helpful.

Show up for class and labs! Take good clear notes. Study the notes and pictures really well.

Take notes. Don't use the textbook--the notes in class should cover everything on exams.

Fall 2014

Study notes at least 1 week ahead of exams.
Go to D2L often and look at pictures.

Study your notes. Write down as much as you can that he says, not just what is on the board.

Pay attention to lectures and really study notes. Combining the two is beneficial for exams and understanding material better.

Come to class, take good notes, and study.

Read your notes after every class.
Ask the teacher if you don't understand the topic.
Come to class, don't skip.

Come to class, ask a lot of questions because it is confusing and visit his office a lot.

Don't buy the book!
Take lots and lots of notes.
Come to class and take the notes!
Come to labs.
Form a study group.
Study your notes the day you get them.

Show up to class even if you don't think you will be doing anything important.

Show up to all labs and lectures.

Study hard.
Don't buy the book.
Come to class.

Don't be afraid to ask questions or start a study group.

Color code your notes and write down everything! even if you think you know it. You may not remember it later.
Don't skip class! You cannot interpret other people's notes as well as your own.
Don't buy the book.

Geology was kind of an interesting subject, but afterthe class I really liked it. Just study and you'll do fine. Ed can be hard at first, but after a while it gets better.

Don't buy the book. Just take really good notes. Write everything he says and go over your notes a few times and you will do well.

Study notes.
Go to class.
Go to lab.
Take notes in class.
Study for test.

Come to the lectures.
Take good notes (even more than he writes on the board)

Show up to all classes.
Take good notes.
Pay attention to class.

Don't skip. Notes are subject to day-to-day happenstance and could be hard to interpret/understand if taken from somebody else without the in-class explanation.

Study your notes very well. Take really good notes as well and be very thorough. Good luck!
