"This [Fluvial-deltaic Sequence Stratigraphy Course] was the best field trip of my career. Everything I learned can be used in my exploration effort".

"[The Earth Science Week] field trip was an outstanding experience for the students to be in the field with a geologist that does real field work! Your expertise in understanding the depositional structures was very enlightening for both the students and me. I thought that I would learn new things, but I really learned much more than I expected. My students came back to school excited about learning more Geology!"

"I really enjoyed [the Preservation Potential of Modern Clastic Shoreline Processes field trip to Mustang and Padre Islands] and learned a lot! I was a bit apprehensive about attending because I was worried that I might not be able to follow the material that was presented, still being a student... But [Jim Garrison] did a great job teaching and the [color] diagrams [in the field] helped a lot as well. I now go down to the beach and look around a lot differently than I did before, its much more interesting."

"As we visit the outcrops, you come to realize that the sky is your limit for learning. The great outdoors is the ultimate hands-on learning experience. I would definitely recommend [to anyone] the outdoor classroom [approach] over a textbook/traditional classroom style."

"[This Fluvial-deltaic Sequence Stratigraphy Field Course has a] high degree of applicability to the task of identifying and successfully drilling for fluvial sands... I will recommend to management at ... to have this course put on for the rest of the geology department ..."

"I attended the [Salt Lake City AAPG] pre-convention Ferron [Sequence Stratigraphy]field trip and wanted [AAPG] to know how much I enjoyed it. The exposures are extraordinary and Jim Garrison's command of the depositional sequences is exceptional. I would strongly encourage the AAPG to design a Sequence Stratigraphy Field Course around the excellent foundation that Jim Garrison has built from his work on the Ferron [Sandstone]."

"The [Fluvial-deltaic Sequence Stratigraphy Field] course was excellent. [Jim Garrison] is very much an expert on this area and the geology. The material presented was very understandable and applicable to anyone working in this environment. [Jim] brought visual aids, and they were the best I have ever seen in the field".

"I took Jim Garrison's Ferron [Sequence Stratigraphy] field trip prior to the Salt Lake City AAPG convention. I greatly enjoyed the field trip and learned a lot. I was amazed at Jim's thorough understanding of the Ferron [Sandstone]. Jim is great communicator and expressed his ideas very clearly. Jim's visual aids illustrated the geology very well. I highly recommend Jim's course."

"The hands-on experience [of a field-based geology class] is so much more rewarding than the [traditional] classroom experience. The 3-D perspective than one gets in the field is so much more informative than a 2-D photo that one sees in a book or in the [traditional] classroom."

"I just loved this class. I had never camped before and I thought that I would hate it, but after the first field trip, I quit my job so that there would be no chance of missing a single field trip. I told all of my friends to take [Field Introduction to Geology]."
