Comment:
This class could have been an online course without any Zoom meetings. The lectures were kind of pointless because she just spends the hour talking going about the homework which is already written in her modules. She wants to see engagement so discussion boards, personal reflections and quizzes are weekly assignments.

Participation is the hardest part of the class, given how often you don't meet on Fridays, and how pointless the actual classes are. Every class she'll go over a PowerPoint you can just download from D2L. 'Quizzes' are online via D2L. Bring your laptop and settle in for the easiest course I've ever taken; show up and it's an easy A.

She might be the worst professor I've ever had. She seems nice at first and acts like there will be an open line of communication but I sent her several urgent e-mails throughout the semester and she didn't answer one of them. I also tried to go to her listed office hours since I couldn't get in touch with her via e-mail and she wasn't there!

I love this class and this teacher. Allthe lecture notes are on-line. There is one book that you have to buy. Tests are on-line too. I definately recommend it. She is really helpful. Try to get to know her outside of class. She helped me get an internship.

Comment:
Class is really easy, but you won't learn anything. At all. If you want to get an easy A, i guess take this class, but you will have to go through unorganized teaching style which makes you rethink her credibility as a professor with a doctorate. If you like being bored, then what are you waiting for? take this class.

Extremely easy class. All powerpoints for class are posted online. Her lectures are boring. She's a really soft spoken person, her voice can put you to sleep. Everything is online, tests, quizzes, final. The only thing is that I sent her 3 or 4 emails over the course of the semester, and she never answered one of them.

Easy class, all quizzes, exams, and final online open book open note. 1 group project but most other small papers (3pgs) can be done with a partner. Attendance not directly mandatory but maybe used as extra credit at the end of the semester. Deadlines can be confusing at times and she never responds to emails.

Her World Region Geography class was a breeze. As long as you have a basic idea of how the world works you should easily pass her class. Make sure to look over the slide and you should be fine. I highly recommend her!

Professor Dewey is a great teacher. Her class is always interesting and enjoyable. The workload is not too bad. She puts all the notes on blackboard. If you go to class you will do fine.
