Comment:

To start be ready to receive over 30 emails a month about things she finds interesting not related to the class. As soon as the class starts she will give you a quiz on the things she has not explained yet, so be ready to know everything before class. Exams are not hard but she tries to make this class an upper division course. choose another proff

Comment:

She is the WORST proffesor I have ever taken. She is sooooo mean and loves to fail students. Exams are long and she is a very very though grader. If you miss the smallest thing you get the whole thing wrong. Never explains labs and be careful if you get an answer similar to her labs key, you will be acused of plagirism. She is no joke, stay away

Comment:

Too bad I was really excited about taking this class until I took it with her. She issues way too much hw for a 3 unit class. She forces you to participate in the class & harasses you if you don't. She made fun of me the last class I went to so I dropped. Thanks for getting me a W on my transcript! Not cool! And the sound effects gotta go! Hated it

Comment:

Soooooooo mean. I had a 68% and she didn't even help me to pass the class. She didn't even respond to me when I emailed her. She doesn't care about the student. She cares more about oceanography then making sure the student is satisfied. What kind of a teacher ignores a student?

she is so mean and so boring! It was like hell in her class. She always made this annoying sound like a swish sound. One time, I recorded her swish sound 37 times in four hours. I was so annoyed that I dropped the class

Comment:

This class is not eeeeasy! A lot of hard work. I was a 4.0 student until I took her class! Many of her tests require a THROUGH reading of the text material.Much of lecture does not equal study guide or test prep. Got questions for class? E-mail her problems. Do not recommend her! Unless you want to add stress in you life!

Comment:

The teacher knows her stuff, but you have to REALLY read the chapters and often fine print in each chapter to get any of the study guide for future tests. Only tests are graded. So if you don't do well on tests- get another instructor.I did not think this class was easy at all! I was glad to pass with a B and I am a 4.0 student

Very nice teacher. Brutally hard tests, but easy labs, and cool field trips. Lots of work to do for 1 unit class, but at least she is good.

She seemed to be a good teacher. Field trip was fun. She had a stress out during one of the classes, took her for the telecourse. She didn't really have a focus when teaching. Final was easy, it was copy and paste off the mini take home test.
