Comment:
Nice person, went out of her way to help myself before I was even involved in the course. Incredibly bright as well, very well spoken and absorbed in even the most theoretical material. Yet she needs to refine her "frame" of communication; to focus teaching & testing the topics that 19 and 20 year old students can be expected to grasp.

Comment:
Incredibly hard to stay focused in this class with her lecture style, and tests didn't always reflect what we had learned in class. Sometimes questions would be from incredibly obscure sources (such as a footnote on page 15 of an internet link she posted on blackboard). Liked to wear brown a lot. There's no way I would take a class with her again.

I dont know if GEOG 205 is supposed to be interesting but I would have rather been sleeping every class...didn't like the use of powerpoints, ESPECIALLY for tests..I failed 2/3 of them but ended up with a C+ because of easy assignments...read text/slides she puts on blackboard and you'll be good to go (class=not necessary)

The most organized prof i've ever had, everything follows the schedule strictly. she is a fair marker on the small written and group assignments and the exams are MC.

Her lectures are quite dule she throws in the odd joke that no one laughs at. She uses a brutal for her quizes she uses this stupid power point method grades no doubt suffer as a result. She seems like a nice person but is not very bright she routinly has gramatical errors in her quiz questions making it very difficult to determine what she wants

Tries to present material in a clear way but sometimes makes it even more confusing. Tests are really hard but if you study tests from previous years you should do fine.

wow. lectures where extremely boring, filled with very unfunny jokes. she seems like a fairly nice person but just can't teach at all. quizzes where really easy but asked the stupidest questions that weren't very clear on wtf she wanted us to answer. textbook is completely crap, don't buy it. she doesn't seem very bright. material was stupidly easy

Comment:
Single most asinine method of quizzes ever. No booklets, it's apowerpoitn presentation. This fact probably dropped most grades by 10% at least. It seems she cares more about trees than students. Avoid this prof, unless you're an academic masochist. That said the material was stupidly easy. background knowledge most of it.

Comment:
She realizes that her teaching is poor as she gives easy quizzes worth 2% of the grade. Said she wanted to save paper, so our quizzes were on powerpoint, hard to concentrate, boring. Final was absolutely brutal as the questions were very unrealistic for the amount of knowledge we had to acquire. Don't buy the text - not worth it.

This prof has the EASIEST tests i have ever taken at the U of C. Seriously, take her course, and don't go AND still get AN A!! She posts her lecture materials online. The only negatie aspect is her lectures, but who the heII goes in the first place. Easy easy tests. These guys are idiots who had previous posts. She is a VERY FAST marker. Much love.

The material might be interesting but her lectures were boring. She doesn't explain some concepts well, her jokes aren't funny. The test were fair though.

Good notes. Pretty good at explaing the concepts. And the test was easy. Though the reading quizes were a bit of a pain. All in all pretty good, but so very very hard to stay awake. Don't take the last class in the day.
