Comment:

Unclear instruction lead to never receiving full credit. Her grading takes over a week in a 5-week course and feedback was no help at that time. Overall, very unclear teacher with ridiculous expectations.

Comment:

For an online course, this is very assignment heavy. If you take this course during summer/online beware that all assignments are not posted on the calendar right away. The worst part was having the final so close to all the other assignments that require a lot of time. Map assignments are hard to get full points. I barely passed this class.

Comment:

This instructor should not be allowed to teach a summer course. The grading is completely harsh for a five week course. The amount of work was not hard, but no clear understanding of what was expected. Essentially you are told what to read then breakdown map assignments with no other instruction! That is not teaching.

I am taking her online Geography class and it is the hardest class I have taken. She expects us to know how to read a map. She assigns way to much homework. There is something due every Sunday. Quizzes and week posting and a map assignment. The most she's assigned so far is 13 assignments due one day. 11 Quizzes, Week Posting, AND Map Assignment.

Comment:

The sheer volume of work would justify her course as a 5 unit class. The weekly "post" are equal to research papers. Boring delivery and hacked up learning aids that make synthesizing material chaotic. Points are taken for arbitrary reasons even if the question was answered correctly. Boring and confusing.

Comment:

Second class I have taken with this professor and I enjoy her very much. You have a lot of reading to do, two mid-term papers and a final. As long as you read (which is a lot), it's an easy A. She makes you work for it but I like that because you leave with actual knowledge of the course.

Comment:

P Hudelson really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Some may say she isn't clear with assignments but as long as you study, when writing your mid/final papers you won't miss the little details she hoping for. Unlike a lot of professors, I like that she pushes you. She really helped improve the way I learn. Hard but I got an A

I had her at Stan State and she was really nice. She came off as mean but ended up just being how she was. Extremely nice highly recommend coming to class sometime she does a sign in sheet on random days.

I am not a bad student. I show up to class and put in the work as well. I typically get full credit on all assignments for in person and online courses but this teacher is like Thanos and snaps away your grade just like that. I never received full credit on any of the assignments and she failed me on the final paper. BEWARE, DELUSIONAL EXPECTATIONS

This teacher expects you to know everything after reading the book. Also grades super hard i barely got full credit for anything and she is rude. When i asked her questions she would just be rude and just made you seem like an idiot. I would not recommend this professor at all.

Super tough grader!! I rarely got full credit for anything! I took Intro to Geography online course and it was the hardest class I've ever taken!!! She jumps right in and expects you to know what the book is talking about! The final was a 2,000 word essay! Good luck!

Comment:

Would not take this class again. She doesn't really help you learn at all; she draws a lot of pictures in the notes that don't make sense or help with the exams. Belittles you if you get something wrong. She also has a really bad attitude most of the time so if you can deal with all that then this class is perfect for you.

Professor Hudelson Is a great professor. She was flexible with the due dates during midterms and finals, something most professors wouldn't do. Offered extra credit outside of class on some occasions. Really enjoyed the class.

Comment:

She takes forever to grade your work. Does not respond to questions in a reasonable time period and when she does she makes you feel dumb. When she finally does grade the work she will write you an essay on what you did wrong but give no solution or clue on what to fix. Overall, just read the book and dont ask questions, shes a real grump.

Comment:

I felt like throughout the semester I could not figure out what she wanted. Shes a tough grader. It was hard to know exactly what she wanted to see in each discussion. She also takes very long to grade everything and for mid-terms she prefers that you use her lectures instead of the book, but I found the book easier to understand and more helpful.

Comment:

This is a great instructor to have if you are good at mind reading. She absolutely does not care what YOU learn or what YOU know. The work is not hard she just wants you to use the exact "word" that she wants! no telling what that is until she grades. Takes a very long time to grade work so you have no clue until it is too late!

Comment:

I have taken two classes from this professor and she is very passionate about her subject. She wants you to be engaged in her subjects and make a personal connection to what you are learning. Yes you have to read the book (thats why you buy it right?). She teaches you how to write and offers so many opportunities for help if you attend class/care.

She's not lenient at all with her rules and dates. She takes forever to answer emails and she posted the final about 24 hours before it was due. It's a ton of boring work and not worth the credit

Comment:

she started off decent but if she is in a bad mood then shes very annoying. she expects things to be turned in at the beginning of class so dont be late by even five minutes or she counts it as late. she gets upset when students dont care as much as she does
