EARTH114 . Rudnick R L 2 Months Ago

Unapproachable. Messy slideshows w/ just pictures so u can't go back to study them for tests. Talks to students as if we already know all the material, so she rambles as if shes talking to PHD students. u cannot follow along with her lectures, leave confused, and piles on work. if u can take someone else, do it.

Genuinely one of the nicest and most approachable teachers at this school. Earth 114 was VERY hard although that is probably due to me being more biology oriented than geology. If you minerals are your passion then you will love her class, if not, try to survive.

I will say that class participation was dry AF but it was a small early morning class. She is nice, responds to emails, and knowledgeable. She had quizzes every day, that were graded on participation and perfect to use for studying. I had taken a similar class to this at CC, but this was a useful class with a good prof.

Her lectures don't go into detail. She is narcissistic, very unapproachable and not enthusiastic about teaching. If you don't need to take a class with her, don't. I never felt comfortable asking questions, answering questions, or going to office hours. She is very off-putting and you can tell she doesn't want to teach, just research.

Lacks empathy and respect for basic life interruptions that college students may experience.

Roberta is very knowledgable in the field and gives informative lectures. I don't know if I'd call her approachable but she is a great resource. Gave in-class quizzes everyday so don't miss class, but they are just participation based and serve as vital study guides for midt/final. Labs pretty much take a whole day to do but help study material.
