CollegeI 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 LOVE Prof Ackert!!!!! The best online courses i have ever taken. Very clear grading policy the mini quiz is very interesting and helpful! will take her class again!
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.
Towards the end of this quarter, this class got a bit difficult because of a lab, final presentation, and final exam all due within a short timeframe but other than that this class was a breeze. Professor Ackert is also just so amazing and so caring. I highly highly encourage everyone to take this course and a class with Professor Ackert in general
Prof Ackert genuinely wants you to succeed and will give you opportunities to do so. Her tests are not easy so make sure you are familiar with the slides and the readings. GO TO OFFICE HOURS and ask for extra credit if you need it. The class material is interesting and she is an extremely organized lecturer. She's also approachable outside of class
Professor Ackert is my favorite professor at UCSB, by far! She gives her lectures in a very logical and organized way that made the information very digestible. She encourages discussions in her classroom and hears out what every student has to say. I learned so much from her. Take her class if you have the chance to.
