Great teacher tells very interesting stories. Down to earth and her stories help you remember stuff about countries because they are so interesting. Great teacher to do study abroad with.

Easy class. Lots of personal stories to accompany whatever she was talking about that day. Took notes all class, sometimes a movie here and there, but it wasn't that bad. Generally easy tests. Only homework was to color a map of a contenent for each section we did... super easy! Too bad she retired the next semester, would've taken her again.

Comment:

Pretty easy for an honors class. She always goes off tangents with her life stories and tosses random questions on the test, but honestly her tests are not bad at all if you simply attend class, takes notes, and look over the chapter reviews.

she is retired now. Overal, she is pretty easy. BUT she can lose your maps. She lost one of my maps and as a result, i got a B. But Im asking for my score back. Im still waiting for her reply. If I can get my score on that map, I will get A.

Funny teacher, goes off tangent alot and tells random stories about her life. She's pretty nice. Sometimes she does put random questions on her tests, actually every time. But overall pretty easy! She's retiring now so... yeah.

Comment:

I had Tarlos for Geog 100 over the summer and the only reason I took Geog 180 was because of her! She loves what she teaches and is very helpful. Usually has a funny story or two. I'm sad she's retiring, but I know she'll pick an awesome replacement.

She is a very nice teacher with a great sense of humor. Just as long as you attend the class, you should be good, and take lots of note. Though she didn't assign readings some of the stuff for tests came from there. She also has a tendency to go off tangent, but they are sure great stories!

The way her class work is take good note, remember those notes by heart and you will do fine on test. HOWEVER, expected some questions that are not from lecture (maybe from book) 1 Group Project, kind of easy. Interesting lecture. Do all map hw.

Comment:

She is a wonderful lady with a great sense of humor, but one tends to get the feeling that her best teaching days are behind her. She spends more of her lectures on irrelevant tangents. That said, her class isn't difficult and she offers a lot of extra credit, however i wouldn't recommend it to anyone interested in learning anything relevent.

Comment:

She gets sidetracked, but it makes her class so fun! It's incredibly easy, and she loves her honors students. Even though it's easy, you still have to study, but don't sweat it. Sometimes there will be a question on the exams never mentioned in class, if you tell her you're confused, she'll probably help you out. Super fun class.

i was able to enjoy the class because she told such wonderful stories. that's how i remembered all of the information presented, by recalling her stories. She is a vibrant teacher, fair and expects you to do very little work for the course.

Comment:

She's very sweet and entertaining kind of person. Her quizes and tests are very easy, sometimes there might be something never mentioned before in one of them. The only thing is that she very often gives a wrong information, just learn what she said, use it in the test and forget it. Easy A and fun classes.
