Comment:

Took this class in the summer online. There isn't much discussions. All you have to do is read and take the test of what you read and it only gives you 70 minutes to do a 50 question test. And there is only 1 extra credit which is a crossword that claims that the book has the answers but doesnt. Found all the answers online.

Online class. 4 exams, drops the lowest. You're on your own in this class. Provides all lectures and ahead of time it is up to you to stay on task. Lectures are written, very long, but she gives you enough time to go through them. And the topics are interesting, you will not be bored. Exams are hard, but if you stay on task, easy A

Comment:

In this class, youll have four tests in total. Your whole grade is based on the tests and discussions. Also, Extra credit is 25 points. Each lecture (9 in total) is about 30 pages copied on to Microsoft Word. Quizzes are not clear about what country she is talking about. Overall, this class was very difficult because test questions were trivial.

Wonderful professor. When it comes to small group discussions she will walk by and ask you about your thoughts on the topic youre learning and will give you great feedback. Everything on her PowerPoints and notes will be on the test. Test are really easy as long as you go back and look at the notes and study the vocabulary. She is very respectful.

Took her online class, and it was really easy. Theres no check ins every week just the 4 exams. Shes gives you the notes, so no need to buy the book. Theres really no communication through out the semester. If youre looking for a class that requires no work, then this is the class for you. Easy a

Shes great overall! Im currently taking her online class and yes it is heavy reading. If you take great notes and study them the exams are easy, if you study. My first exam I didnt study as much and got such a low grade but her lecture notes are interesting and fun.

I took the course online for summer session and it was no joke. Be prepared for a lot of heavy reading!! Youre pretty much on your own for which its no interaction or any participation. Class consists of 4 tests and one final; and shell drop one of your lowest test scores. She doesnt give any retest for NO REASON!! And Again.. HEAVY READING!!

I took geography 101 online and all you do is take four tests. I also got an older textbook as noted in the syllabus for $3 so if your looking for a cheap easy class to fulfill your requirements this is it. I got an A in that class. When it comes to the lab got an F. The professor never responded to emails when I asked where I can get help

Professor Mindes is amazing the class is not hard at all but it really depends much on you if you study or not, she gives extra credit opportunities and tries to help you as much as possible. There are 5 total exams including the final the lowest grade of the 5 will be dropped. Just study the maps and the lecture notes and you will be good.

Comment:

This class is graded solely on 4 tests and a final. No interaction with professor for the lecture part of the class. As long as you read all notes and chapters, you will do well. Professor grades on a curve. LAB that accompanies this class is not as easy. Please see rating for lab.

Comment:

Professor not active, nor responds much to class. Materials not reviewed for integrity before given to students. Expect to fly solo and not score well on many labs. You will NOT know what errors you made. Must be resourceful to Pass. Most classmates struggled based by their comments on dicussion board. Professor should be helpful, this one is NOT.

Comment:

Okay, this class was SUPER difficult. The labs make no sense whatsoever, I took regular Geog101 along with this lab and geog101 wasn't bad but the lab is ridiculous. All you have is pretty much a packet of so-called notes that do no explaining. Really bummed out, if you have an option do not take it. She doesn't seem to care much.

Comment:

Took ONLINE class. The lab is a lot harder then the class. Not so straight forward, very complicated. Not all labs but most towards the end lab 7 and on were the hardest. For the actual class make sure you read the notes and lectures. Find the answers at least browse through the book. No, most questions are not online.

Comment:

Took this online class, never even used the textbook and still passed with an A. Weekly discussions are posted, and 4 exams plus the final. Lowest exam gets dropped. 50 multiple choice questions to answer in an hour. One exam per month, plenty of time to study. Extra credit is given which is even more helpful. Grades on a curve. Pretty easy to pass
