she was cool but the 1 credit course was way more work than a 1 credit course should be. She is pretty funny and really nice.

A one credit course that was lightly graded. Weekly summaries of short readings, guest speakers, and even panelists on different biological issues. Interesting class. Because of the weekly guest speakers, it's hard to really say much about the professor.

Class was EXTREMELY interesting and she is very interested in the material. Know that this is mainly a graduate student class and, although it is a relaxed environment, the amount of work you are expected to do is not fully explained. 2 credit class that requires as much work as a 4 credit class. Fun and interesting but too much work for 2 credits

Class is a joke. unless your a lazy piece, this class is easy 2 credits. Just listen to guest speakers on environmental issues and just answer questions about it.Then go in groups and answer questions.You dont need to read the book at all. When assigned Q's from the book its like 2 Q's and you just find where it is in the book and answer it. EASY

this class is really different than previous years.Its twice a week and there is in-class work both days to hand in every week, plus a "learning log" and reading questions and article analysis. due EVERY week. This is a 2 credit class that's being taught like a 3-4.She never lectures, we always have guest speakers.Too much work for a 2 cred. awful.

This class is an absolute joke. Once a week two hours (sometimes less). You hand in a bs assignment and play in groups. No tests. I never payed attention, I just brought my laptop and played games. EASY A.
