“I know that students often say they took geology rather thanbiology or chemistry because they heard it was a great class.

The commitment to teaching makes a huge difference.

Everyone on our faculty teaches 101 at least once or twice a year (we teach 6 classes a year) and a quick skimming of courseevaluations (they're published online) indicate that all of the101 faculty are pretty strongly appreciated by students.

“In the end you are right though, the most important thing is to make the course interesting.  A lot of students (but not all) are looking to get something more positive out of a class than just a check mark on a box towards graduation.  

We want those kind of students in our classes.  From talking to the undergrads in 201 (and the office help etc.) it seems to me that most of the classes students take are taught by people who don't seem to care and who have no passion for the material. 

What gives us the edge over those people (in my opinion) is that as we are all active researchers we have a passion for our field, students pick up on that and will return the passion by paying attention and actually learning something.”

--Chris Measures, Oceanography
