Giovanni Baiocchi
GEOG330 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/05/2024 |
Dr. Baiocchi is a kind person and a pretty good professor. His slides have a moderate amount of detail but he doesn't just read off of them, and much of the important information will be provided in the form of examples. He has a minor accent but he is easy to understand. Your final grade is heavily impacted by the Reflection Activities during weekly discussion, which can take you down a good few percent if you miss even one of them. On the other hand, they are basically graded by participation. Dr. Baiocchi's tests are relatively easy, but make sure to review the videos and external readings that he provides on Canvas, as they are directly referenced in the exams. Half of the test is multiple choice and the other half is short answer, with relatively little requirements for full credit. In my semester, the class emptied out pretty early, with most students just studying from the slides, which he posts. I would say that you can teach yourself the material, but it is helpful to go to class and hear him explain the concepts in more detail. Not all of the slides have words, though, some just have diagrams. Overall, definitely a good class to take for Gen Ed and anyone who is interested in learning more about sustainability. |
