Good lecture style, you can tell she cares about the content. One of the nicest professors I've ever had the privilege of speaking with

Jane was the nicest professor I've ever had. Lectures were interesting most times and exams were based purely off the slides which covered all the readings. The only downfall to the class was the amount of short essays you had to write that were graded bad by the TA Laura. It was nice to have such a kind professor.

Dr. Collins is sooo nice! She grades easily too. Only 3 2-page papers, 2 exams & a book review of your choice, attendance is not mandatory but I'd recommend going for content for your papers. Great course in general, the content overlapped with many of my environmental & sociology courses.

Jane is great, very nice lady. Exams are 100% on lectures which are posted online so you don't have to go really. And you can figure out the reading questions easily without reading. Super easy A. Biggest issue, class skips over the meat industry/consumption as driving global warming and skips current/future solutions to our environment.

She was a fantastic and passionate professor. Sometimes lectures were boring, but material is easy. Study all of the terms in the review guides, BS the papers, and you get an A. Discussion really helped too. I did everything 2-3 hours before it was due. Super easy A. Don't even need the book.

Great professor. Very passionate about her topic and the course is extremely easy. The exams can be compared to quizzes in other classes. They're easy cause the material is all embedded into your brain by the professor. She's very sweet and nice too!
