GEOG5 . 3 Months Ago

The class was supposed to be easy but I hate online classes cause I never remember they existed. Plus my TA didn't like me. If it was in person and I had a better TA I probably would've gotten a better grade.

I LOVE PROFESSOR ACKERT SOSO MUCH!!!!! SUPER EASY GE CLASS THAT I'VE TAKEN!!! She is very nice professor. It's a online class, have 4 exams with open note. Guarantee A if you watch the videos and take notes, attend the sections, turn in the assignments on time!

I took GEOG 5 in an hybrid format but professor Ackert's lecture is super clear and organized. The class made me more interested in geography.

This was the easiest Gen-ed I have taken> She is the most caring and thoughtful professor I had so far. She goes slow and explains thoroughly. For this class, the content was super easy and the answers for the test come straight from the lectures and no surprise topics she has never taught or any ridiculously hard questions. The grading is fair.

Ackert is an incredible professor! Specifically in GEOG5, she outlines the lectures every week so that you'll know exactly what is expected and exactly what you need to do. There are no curveballs in the course, she gives clear and concise expectations on what is necessary in order to succeed in the course. Good course, but even better instructor.
