GEOG110 . 11 Months Ago

Good course but kind of boring. Some materials were covered in my GEOG119 course so this made the course easier. Easy assignments. The exams were a little bit difficult but we were allowed to bring cheatsheet. Also, there was extra credits.

GEOG3B . 10 Years Ago

Her accent did make it hard to understand at first, but you can get used to it. Attendance was completely unnecessary since all the powerpoints were online. It's easy to skip reading altogether and still get an A. Boring material, kind of a review of high school bioenvironmental science. Overall, very easy GE.

The power point slides are pretty much straight from the book and even so they aren't that specific. Dr Carvahlo is very nice, but there were a few times where the lecture was completely unnecessary to attend. For example, there were a couple of times where we just talked about the day's weather. Overall, it's a pretty easy class and the book helps

Lectures are long and unnecessary to attend. She uploaded all the lecture notes onto guachospace. The assignments were extremely easy (with the book). Her tests were fairly simple, based mostly off definitions.

Dr. Carvalho usually only teaches upper-division classes, so I understand why her teaching 3B was a little awkward. Her accent isn't nearly as bad as some other professors at UCSB and it's actually pretty adorable. She can also be really funny and she genuinely loves teaching. She does tend to read right off of the slides, which isn't the best.

I was completely overwhelmed by her chaotic lectures. She always uploaded power points and lecture notes late, which is at the second day of that lecture. I had a hard time with her accent, and her power points are abstract and unorganized. Most importantly she copies her lecture from the book, which makes attending lecture completely a waste.
