“Fantastic learning opportunity for someone who took Soil (Intro Soils, Soil Fertility, and Soil Microbiology) courses in the past, but had never taken a Soil Classification course. In this course, the instructor covered a LOT of material in two days. More information than I had ever received during grad school on Soil Classification. Konstantin is a fantastic instructor, and he went through the course material at a good pace. He was easy to listen to and the material was easy to follow”.
“I loved the class, thank you for a great learning experience. The field trip was fantastic!”
“Thank you for your dedicated instruction and taking the time to share your knowledge in such a committed way. I really enjoyed the course and look forward to working with you in the future or taking other courses.”
“Absolutely great course provided by a knowledgeable, respected and passionate Soil Scientist and nice guy. Respectful of time and ensuring all students have ample opportunity to interact and ask questions. Approached subject like true science - always gracefully accepting criticism of concept and was able to smoothly transition the question into a discussion to challenge both sides respectfully. Great course for new and old.”
“I enjoyed every minute of your lecture, meeting with you and other classmates during the field trip, as well as your marvelous sense of humor.”
