The professor, plus the course syllabus, and the way in which they were both presented exceeded all my hopes and expectations for learning as a beginning geology student major.
Bravo! A fascinating course, thank you. Dr. Martin speaks clearly and informatively with humour and insight. So many interesting subjects covered under the umbrella of "extinctions".
Excellent lecturer and selection of articles. Lecturer was very engaging and clearly is very passionate about the subject of this course.
Dr. Martin made this highly informative class a joy to watch. :0)
