Nice enough of a professor, but her lectures are a little useless and boring since she reads off the slides. Clears her throat a lot if you have misophonia or are sensitive to noises like that. If you're looking for an easy A and aren't interested in the material, you could skip all the lectures like I did and get by. Nobody showed up by the middle of the semester lol. There are Quizlets with the exam review answers (the questions given in Canvas don't have answers) and if you study those and use common sense, you could get a good grade on the exams. Two exams, just the midterm and the final. Those are usually about 20 multiple choice questions and then 3 or so written explationation for concepts. My midterm was online but then some students complained about the technical difficulties so then the final was moved to in-person at 8am on the very last day of exams. Discussion required attendance and in my opinion was more interesting than the lectures. You'd draw site plans and learn about section cuts. There were a total of nine projects/assignments. Some were drawings, research on existing landscapes, plant species, etc. The last two were weighted more, and I got extra credit on the final project (bumping my grade up to over 100%). If you have the slightest interest in the environment/being creative and want something you can bs through, this is the class for you. |

i believe she is slightly new to teaching. she really just reads of the slides, many of which are solely pictures so it is very difficult to take notes. that being said, the material in the class for me seemed fairly self explanatory and exams were not entirely difficult if you did the readings and reviewed, but the way they graded the short answer's were very specific. discussions were pretty engaging, we would walk to sites and draw different types of diagrams and the final project was proposing a site plan with a lot of diagrams, it just takes time. she posts study guides and its pretty vocab based but showing up to class at least for me was useless (attendance is taken though). |
