Ms. K is a very tough grader, but she is doing it for a reason. She is teaching you what you need to know to become a great teacher. She gives very good feedback on labs and homework. Be sure to take notes!! She gives very detailed notes. Can be rude at times, but I never had a problem with her. Pay attention in class, do the work.

I have really enjoyed Ms.K's class. She can be a tough grader but you learn more from it because she gives such good feed back. She really tries to take the time to help you understand. Plus she knows her stuff.

I did not enjoy this class at all. Miss K is a very picky grader, and she is very disrespectful to her students. When you ask her for help, she just makes you feel dumb. She makes the class extremely stressful when it doesn't have to be.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF. It is impossible to get even close to an A on any exams or labs. She does not consider that you know the material it feels more like an English class. If you can chose, chose someone else.

DO NOT take this class. Elaine is the hardest grader I have ever had. When you ask questions she will answer them in a very rude tone and make you feel stupid. If you can't memorize word for word what she writes your answer will be wrong. Terrible teacher, will never take her again.

If you want an easy science credit, I would heavily advise against this teacher and class. She is a very critical grader in labs, she will nitpick at every word to find an error. Very long classes, labs can be difficult and confusing. I would only advise you to take this if you have a passion for geology. No textbook, but lab book is a must.

Wouldn't recommend. If you care about your GPA i'd stay away from this class. Rushes through every lecture, and very picky during the tests. Everyone does horribly on the tests because she expects us to write down everything she wrote on the board. If you do something wrong on the lab she'll raise her voice at you. Not a very good professor.

She has high expectations, but she's ALWAYS there if you have questions. Her labs are fun and usually you get a snack out of it! It's important to attend every class, she will cover a lot of material in a single session - though, I don't see how this is much different from other college courses. She dorky and charming. I really enjoyed GL 101.

DO NOT take this professor if you care about your grades GPA or sanity. Mrs. Kampmueller is THE worst prof I have ever had which is saying a lot. For a lab we did we got all of our answers wrong because they were not in her words. Therefore the next lab we completed we wrote our answers DIRECTLY from the notes and still got them wrong.

Very knowledgeable and loves what she does! However, she is a very hard grader. She is very willing to help and answer questions. It is much easier to pass if you ask for help and take advantage of extra credit opportunities.

Elaine was a great teacher. She 100% knows her material top to bottom. Her lectures are VERY detailed be sure to take thorough notes otherwise you may be led astray. Be very detailed in your answers on every assignment and test. Take advantage of the study guides and reviews and be sure to ask questions if you don't understand. Good luck!

Elaine was a difficult teacher, you have to study for her tests. You cannot simply walk into a test and believe you receive a good grade. However, she gives you a full review for every test! STUDY IT. Work hard and you will get a good grade.

Elaine was Awesome! She gives you exactly what you need during lecture to get 100. She will help you if you are willing to put in some effort. The comment about it being impossible to get a 100 is not true because she will give you word for word answers for the essays. That student must have just been lazy.

Do NOT take this course if you don't have hours to devote to outside class work. lectures were very long, leaving little time to get help with labs.Its impossible to get 100% on any of the tests b/c she is very picky on how detailed your answers must be on both the labs and tests. She's a Horrible professor and won't bend at all on her grading.

Comment:

This teacher is crazy along with the class itself. Elaine refuses to slow down if something is confusing, & if she is running out of time teaching she rushes thru it & still assigns the lab anyways. She takes off points if your essay doesn't read word for word what she wrote on the board, so you will spend countless hours of useless memorization.

I would not recommend this class/prof to anyone! She has more lecture time than labs. NOT A HANDS ON CLASS. During her lectures she seems to go way off topic. It is impossible to get 100% on any of the tests. She is very anal on how detailed your answers are on both the labs and tests. Forgot to grade labs.. Awful professor.

Very helpful and is thorough in her lectures. She makes geology fun and has a great sense of humor! Every resource is given in this class to succeed yet some people still fail (blame yourself, not the professor). Miss K goes above and beyond: extra credit, fun activities, etc. Pay attention, ask questions, study and you're guaranteed an A.

I thought Elaine was a very good professor overall. She was always telling people to ask questions if they needed help. She was even willing to look over essays and labs before handing them in. People saying she is a difficult professor are just too dumb to ask for help when they need it. I am a geology-chemistry dual major, and I would recommend.

Her lectures were long, confusing, and did not connect to the tests at all. Tests are hard and almost impossible to pass. She did nothing to improve students understanding, I do NOT recommend.

Good teacher. The notes you take in class are exactly what you need to know for all exams. Pretty straight forward, just study the material and you will be fine. She is also very helpful.
