College50% of the grade is determined by biweekly quizzes that I found way too hard & hard to finish in given time. Your final (30%) is a group project which was easy but randomly assigned group, so it might be the worst final of your life. Mandatory lecture attendance (she took exact iClicker score, no excused) and difficult section readings/grading.
Froehlich is probably the worst professor I've had in the Environmental Studies department. She isn't very flexible and never accepts late assignments. The course is dense with niche material and half of your grade is based on bi-weekly quizzes (which are unnecessarily hard). If you're looking to complete your ES UD Area A, TAKE SOMETHING ELSE!!!!
Prof. Froehlich is very knowledgeable about the material and is a great lecturer. Her slides don't contain many words, so taking good notes is essential. Weekly quizzes are very hard. No final, rather a final group project that was quite straightforward. Attendance is mandatory. Overall a very interesting and straightforward course.
Froelich is really friendly and caring about her students, and always open to answer questions in the middle of lecture. Her slides don't have many words so beware if you're used to copying word for word off of slides. Overall, course was actually kind of easy and chill. Weekly readings, quizzes, and one final presentation at the end.
