Collegepretty easy class, attendance was mandatory but if you know other people in the class it's easy to fake attendance. very nice but lectures were boring so i barely went
Not online anymore. Attendance is taken in lecture + section. Weekly discussion posts + hw due before section (not hard, just don't procrastinate). 4 exams (all 30 Qs), not super hard, but they are not as easy as I expected. She posts the slides, but they're each long (50–70), so I recommend reviewing them after class, and don't cram for the exams.
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 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.
