Very easy online course. You're graded on quizzes, a roughly 5 question assignment, and that's it. No exams. The quizzes are 20 questions each. There is quite a bit of text to read but I passed with an A not reading it all. Very simple and easy class/prof. She provided lectures and extra reading but I never used either for the class.

Easy class to take. KVB has tons of experience in the field (works at Visitors Bureau of Ypsi/Ann Arbor area currently), supplements the class with tons of outside resources/media, and in general is very passionate about the subject, and especially teaching it. Super friendly/accessible, remembers you. I hugely recommend chatting with her.

Unhelpful professor. Doesn't care about technical problems. I created duplicate account by mistake and lost 2 exams and definitely didn't care and marked them zero after I told her about my problem. Find another teacher.

The knowledge that KVB possesses is immense and remarkable and that clearly shines through in her lectures. I highly recommend her classes, she will absolutely do anything to make sure a student succeeds as long as they themselves are willing to work for it! Oh and her travel stories leave me daydreaming and feeling fantastic. Excellent prof.

It is a pretty easy class. You don't really have to go to class to do well. All of the tests are online and if you just read the textbook, you will do fine. You have very few assignments, but they are super easy. Her lectures can be boring, but she is really passionate about what she is teaching.

KVB is super into what she teaches. Extremely energetic when she teaches and keeps you entertained during a rather boring lecture. All homework is online and super easy, so are the tests. Could treat it like an online class and do perfectly fine, but I would highly recommend going to the lectures.

She don't really teach, but reiterates the textbook back to us. If you don't read and outline, you're screwed. She's nice, but the exams we take cover stuff that we don't even learn about.

Comment:

Do exactly what she asks, do not write more than she asks for, she will mark you down. Class is based out of the test books, with online lectures which are mostly her just reading right out of the Textbook. To get an A, you will have to work hard.

Comment:

Took this class to fill my credit requirements. She expects everyone in the class to be a geography major and devote all your time to studying for her outrageous tests. Grading is all based on tests that ask very specific information. Tests have a very short time limit. Would avoid if your looking to get through the class with your gpa intact.

Very knowledgable teacher. She has traveled all over the world so she speaks from experience and provides up to date information on what's happening in each part of the world in addition to how it will affect us.

One of my favorite professors! Super sweet, fun, and interesting as well. She shows her own pictures from her travels around the world and tells personal stories, making her lessons seem a lot more relevant. I would recommend her to anyone.

Comment:

Her syllabus is ridiculous to follow and understand. She is so petty about minor things: you have to have your student ID/drivers license on you to take her tests or you fail it. She obviously doesn't read the papers because I put in BS and got an A because my formatting was correct. Reads right from the PowerPoint. AVOID!

Comment:

Good instruction and materials. However, be warned, her audio presentations are of the worst audio quality. Between the hacking dog and some serious audio feedback from her voice have your thumb on the volume control. If she remade the presentations this class would be 5/5, however it is distracting and honestly hurts the ears.

Very passionate about Geography. Exams are hard, you have to study for them. Come to class and take notes. Print off the powerpoints that she gives you to write right on them. Go to SI. Not many office hours available. Answers emails promptly. Creates a community in the classroom.

KVB was a fabulous professor. She is a very good professor if you really care about what you're learning. She LOVES sharing her knowledge(she's been EVERYWHERE). I recommend to anyone. The only thing tough is there isn't a lot being graded- five "exams" and webliography. Makes it hard if you're not a good test taker.
