Rachel Haber GEOG110 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/20/2023	Besides the heavy amount of group work that was at times a little annoying, this class is pretty solid. Dr, Haber is a good lecturer, but, can be boring if you don't enjoy geography. Overall, I would recommend this to students if you like the content. However, it is not a blow-off class like I was led to believe by many peers.
Rachel Haber GEOG110 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/20/2023	Dr. Haber is a kind professor and her TA grades relatively fairly. Overall, it was a good course. I was hoping for an A+ and in part I believe the amount of group work brought my grade down at times. I have no major complaints and found the course pretty interesting. I would recommend it if you are interested in geography.
Rachel Haber GEOG110 Expecting a B Anonymous 08/20/2023	Pay more to suffer more during summer vacation... I hoped to improve my GPA but got the lowest grade of all my courses instead. I wish I could have some ways to drop this GenEd. (The exam was so hard. And you have team assignments, you won't get good grades if your teammates don't do well, even if you do your best for your part)
Rachel Haber GEOG110 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/06/2022	Easy GenEd class with a good professor and exciting topics. Dr. Haber is a great lecturer who helps keep her class engaged. My only complaint is that she does not allow any computers for notes which makes me feel stuck in the past; everything must be handwritten.
Rachel Haber GEOG110 Expecting a B Anonymous 08/29/2022	Geog110 is said to be an easy gen-ed, but not with this professor. The class is claimed to be a global perspective but you only see the discussions from an ONLY typical (in a wrong sense) American perspective on viewing other areas. The part about actual science is totally good stuff since it is simply doing a reference source review (very good review, yes). but when this professor talked about politics in the area and certain politics-related aspects, there exist information that is not accurate (not at all) and obviously biased. If you want a pass and do not mind getting uncomfortable and boring, you can put effort (probably more than you expected) and get decent passing. Scores are not easily earned at all and all those details (exactly boring and uncomfortable). Class content is not hard (seriously not hard at all), but professors are divergent.
Rachel Berndtson GEOG110 Expecting an A ChrisPBacon 01/09/2019	Dr. Berndtson is great! She made the class very engaging and enjoyable. The class was mostly debates and group presentations, with 2 midterms and 1 group final paper + presentation. Attend every lecture! While Dr. Berndtson posts her lecture slides on ELMS, she blocks out a lot of the important information that's only shown in class. Also, she gives the exam layouts and debate/presentation formats only during lecture. Also, there are reading quizzes that are free points since they are participation. Lastly, during finals, if you skip class on days that other groups are presenting, she will knock your grade down hard (happened to one of my group members). Overall the class is easy, but there aren't many assignments, so make sure you and your group puts full effort in every assignment. Also, study well for the exams! They are completely based on what's taught in lecture so review the notes well.
