pretty 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.

Towards the end of this quarter, this class got a bit difficult because of a lab, final presentation, and final exam all due within a short timeframe but other than that this class was a breeze. Professor Ackert is also just so amazing and so caring. I highly highly encourage everyone to take this course and a class with Professor Ackert in general

Prof Ackert genuinely wants you to succeed and will give you opportunities to do so. Her tests are not easy so make sure you are familiar with the slides and the readings. GO TO OFFICE HOURS and ask for extra credit if you need it. The class material is interesting and she is an extremely organized lecturer. She's also approachable outside of class

Professor Ackert is my favorite professor at UCSB, by far! She gives her lectures in a very logical and organized way that made the information very digestible. She encourages discussions in her classroom and hears out what every student has to say. I learned so much from her. Take her class if you have the chance to.

One of the most caring professors at UCSB! Her class is very informational, and at the beginning might appear like a lot of work but is very duable. The class concists of two weekly quizzes, participation, labs, midterm, final, and three fun and easy presentations. If you go to lecture you will do amazing on everything.

This was the easiest Gen-ed I have taken> She is the most caring and thoughtful professor I had so far. She goes slow and explains thoroughly. For this class, the content was super easy and the answers for the test come straight from the lectures and no surprise topics she has never taught or any ridiculously hard questions. The grading is fair.

(GEOG 108 & 199) She not only guided me in my researcher (e.g. theories, readings) but had also empowered me as a researcher. The latter is harder to find. So if you get to experience her inspiring teaching style, look out for how she goes the extra mile to equip the current, multicultural generation for the urban to global challenges of today.
