ENVS111GEO149 . James A K 5 Years Ago

So kind and values learning over testing. Went over topics again she thought we didn't fully understand. Offers ways to makeup missed exam questions. Super kind, office hours are unique and have a lot of learning activities. Highlights varied speakers who give info about getting into their various careers/fields. Really cares about her students

EEMB3 . James A K 10 Months Ago

James is the goat. Small EEMB3 with James is WAY easier than big. Lectures are participation heavy, but it's worth it. Her lectures are interesting, and her exams are based exactly on what you talk about. Also take this class if you're also taking ochem, because it'll give you more time to study that. James is also easily accessible outside class.

EEMB13 . James A K 10 Months Ago

Such an amazing professor and person all around, she cares so much for her students. This class helped me so much in guiding me as a biology major this first year, and Anna could not have been more supportive in that journey. No homework, and even got donuts at the end of the quarter! Could not recommend more to any first year bio student.
