Comment:
DO NOT TAKE HER. She has the hardest tests and not a thing on study is on her test. Her way of explaining stuff is so confusing which makes it so hard for us to understand even the simplest stuff. I took her class as one of the gen ed and its one of the biggest mistake I made. Be ready to self study everything and almost fail tests.

questions on tests didn't have one thing that the study guides had. All her tests were just another blindsided failure for everyone because *surprise* we were studying information that didnt matter.. can't keep your test to study your mistakes afterwards so hopefully you have photographic memory. been at u of m 5 years, she's the rudest I've met

Comment:
The fact that the university of Memphis allows a person like this to "teach" is scary. She just sucks at teaching, is COMPLETELY scatter brained, and genuinely just doesnt lift a finger to help anyone succeed. U of m needs to look into this and do something about her. DO NOT TAKE HER

Comment:
This has been the most inneffective and careless teacher i have had to date. There is absolutely no relationship between her lectures and her tests so be prepared to fail regardless of perfect attendance and hours of studying. Discussing concerns with her led to an uproar in class with her yelling at everybody. Avoid at all costs

Comment:
Horrible teacher. Went to every class and was still struggling at the end. She is so scatter brained that it is hard to take notes and she doesn't use the board often. So much information to know and she gets off topic very easily. Quizzes and test are on the same day so it is hard to study because they don't go together well. Overall Horrible!!!

This class is okay. If you go to class, take notes, and study what's on the syllabus, you'll pass. The hard part is going to class. Attendance isn't mandatory, but the class is very boring and not interesting. If you can take another class, I would.

Comment:
Awful teacher. Her lectures were so scattered that it was difficult to take notes. She rambles on and on about nothing important and doesn't use the book at all. I knew that weather and climate would be boring, but I hated this class even more than I thought I would. She is energetic, but not in a good wayShe was bouncing off the walls all the time

Comment:
Nice person, and a relatively good instructor. The map quizzes can be difficult if you have not studied hard enough. Lectures and course material are somewhat generic, but on they're easy to the point of being common sense. I took Cultural Geography as a three-week class in Pre-Summer session, and thus we met three hours a day. Somewhat tedious.

Professor does not use Power Point or the board much so you have to be able to take good notes. Tests and quizzes come directly from her lectures vice the book.

Comment:
She gives lectures and writes nothing on the board. It is extremely difficult to take notes because her lectures are all over the place. Told us buying the book was optional and when I asked for help told me I should have bought the book. DO NOT TAKE HER!! I have not ever in all my schooling failed a class until I took her.

People who complain about this class are just lazy. Go to class, pay attention, take good notes and you'll get an A. She's corny but very enthusiastic and helpful. I got a D on the first test because I would sit in the back and fall asleep. Make yourself pay attention, sit front row center if you have to. Don't be the dunce who failed WEATHER.

She is not a good teacher. It is hard to take notes in her class. She does give study guides for each test but she makes the questions on the test confusing. No extra credit or anything. Good Luck if you take her.

This instructor is not helpful at all she offered not additional assignments to help aid in passing the exams...I totally Bombed my first two exams and I studied extremely hard for them...I do not like her teaching strategies, maybe if she gave extra credit opportunities that would help a lot of her students get better grades! TOTAL THUMBS DOWN!!!

GO TO CLASS! If you want to pass this test you need to go to class, take notes, and bring a recorder for the notes you miss while she's talking. She is a wonderful professor and will help you if you ask. Tests are multiple choice, easy if you study. Did I mention you need to attend class?

If you go to class, take notes, and study a bit you can do well. No trick questions or excessive assignments from this professor-pretty straight forward.

Lectures are useless since much of the info on tests are from the book. Maps for geopgraphy quizes are unclear. The day before Thanksgiving she said we better show up or we would miss important lecture...She lectured for 5 minutes then showed pictures of famous world icons on flashcards that belong to her 8 year old son. Total waste of time!

Comment:
Prof Rid**** may have lame jokes, but you will learn something if you listen. I made an A so just go to class and listen. There are maps, but if you pre-map before the test you'll do fine.
