Next year my general petrology course will morph into Igneous Petrology and Volcanology. I intend to make far greater use of this site for that course since volcanology will be a major section. I will prepare my own question sets that will require students to use the site.

This was the best resource I have ever worked with as a student. The information was presented in a clear and functional manner. There were great pictures and explanations not only about volcanic processes but also general information about volcanoes around the world.
