Classes are boring!!

Professor Spratt is an excellent lecturer. She is very understanding of her students and knowledgeable about the topics that she teaches. I would highly recommend her classes because they are both enjoyable and academically enriching. Overall, I would say that my experience in her class has been my best experience in the entire geology dep. at UCSB

One of my favorite classes at UCSB. Rachel takes a topic that is very complicated and heavy on material and makes it interesting and understandable to students. She is always there to help people that are struggling and everything you need to know are in her lectures and labs. She also adds guest lecturers and speakers to tie it all together.

Very caring and passionate about the material. She makes herself readily available to students that need help and have questions and even though some of the content can get tough she supplements with guest lecturers and speakers to make it more relatable to students. It is very clear she cares about her students and is an overall great teacher.

I think it's a good class, I have learned a lot.

her ppts are hard to read and contain a lot of irrelevant information, besides, she repeats most of her slides in different ppts, which makes her lectures even more confusing. She relies heavily on guest speakers and teaches very little actual content. her exams are confusing and grading scheme is also unclear. im running outta space. DONT TAKE IT.
