Comment:
You will always have a ton of reading for this class. It was tough because the class is discussion based and no one ever did the reading so you won't learn much unless you do the readings yourself. She also always kept us past time which was annoying. She's really knowledgeable though so if you like Latin America and lots of reading, take the class

She's extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the material which makes the lectures easy to pay attention to. There is a substantial amount of work but it isn't bad and her instructions are very easy to follow. Her office hours aren't that helpful but if you pay attention to class and take notes on the homework you will do fine. Recommend!

Comment:
She made me a bit miserable, not gonna lie. She was super helpful in office hours and then guilted me for not loving Geography with all of my heart. She clearly thinks it is the most important subject that ever existed, to a point that really irked me. And she whispers, always kept us late-- sometimes by like 10 minutes, which is ridiculous.

She's super sweet, funny and quirky, which makes class enjoyable. Although sometimes her rubrics are confusing, ("oh, the answer to your question is in the rubric!"), it doesn't seem to affect your grade much. She's a fair grader and tells you basically exactly what will be on the test. Great prof!

Comment:
Prof HM is really nice, and clearly cares about her students both academically and overall. Class was unfocused, with mostly student-led discussions. The readings were interesting though; most learning was done outside of class, with some greater understanding achieved through peer discussions. Writing and presentations were a major focus.

Comment:
While she definitely does not lack passion for her studies, she certainly lacks focus. We'd often spend fifteen minutes of class discussing the weather. While this might be what some students like, I was just constantly frustrated. The readings were interesting, but I don't feel like I learned much in class. I wish I'd taken a different class...

THe class is amazing good material and interesting but the professor is not so great... she talks a lot and keeps us after class time sometimes... she also assigns tedious assignments like focus essays or progress reports... i guess it makes up because the class material is just so interesting!!

Comment:
This class was somewhat disappointing. Hays-Mitchell is a brilliant woman and tries hard to connect with students, but the class just didn't come together. H-M demands a lot and is very caught up in academic jargon. The materials we were assigned were great, though, generally. The class had a lot of potential; it may just be too broadly designed.

Comment:
Nice woman, will talk to you forever if you go to office hours. Classes seem to drag a bit but the material is very interesting. Sometimes a pain to have to copy down the copious amounts of info in powerpoint slides and pay attention to her explaations at the same time. I think she'd be more suited for a discussion-based course, not an intro one

this class really made me decide to pursue geography - the material is very interesting and worthwhile. she uses a lot of powerpoint, but really knows her stuff and love to explain things. overall I thought it was an awesome class, but people who don't like to work won't do well.

so...everyone says that she is horrible...but to be honest she's not all that bad except having too much info in class. after taking it i've decided to be geog major...she has toned down the reading amount considerably, which she will tell you. You know exactly what to expect on tests, b/c she gives you study essays...she's extremely nice i swear

I hate this woman. Readings are long, torturous, and boring. Classes are repetive, and she makes you come to tons of outside movies and lectures. Horrible class, made me decide not to be a geog major.
