• I am going to be completely honest here - this was a course with a ridiculous amount of potential, but it lived up to zero expectations. Foremost, it's a class of 200, and the professor does not know how to use Learn. No, seriously - she expects you to print off paper copies of assignments, hand them in, and leaves them in a stack in front of the class/a cardboard box outside of her office once they're graded. Isn't that ironic, considering this is a geography crosslist? Anyways, aside the point. Building off of her inability to use Learn, she never posts powerpoints before class - in other words, you have to scramble to keep up with her as she goes on pointless tangents, rants, and so…

• Dr. Elliott is extremely unorganized and clearly doesn't seem to know how to even use the LEARN system properly. She doesn't post slides for students to follow on LEARN (which is fine normally), but also doesn't post marks to learn, send messages through LEARN. She is clearly technologically incompetent, and doesn't seem to care much about her students' concerns as she seems rude and unapproachable both in person and through email. It's ironic that this is cross listed with an environment course, yet she wastes so much paper by making sure that everything is done through hardcopy, and even scans and prints copies of scantrons in order to distribute marks. Absolutely ridiculous and a joke of…

• The most unorganized course you will ever take. Slides are not posted before class, you must wait up to 2 weeks for them to appear on LEARN, but by then, what's the point? The lecture is over and you have just a bunch of shitty notes as you try to type like a mad man in class to get everything. You are forced to go to a 3 hour class where about 70% of the time she is talking about irrelevant things, making it impossible to pay attention. Her inability to use technology is outstanding. It takes atleast 10 minutes every class for her to set up her slides on the projector, with the help of IT almost every time. LEARN is her worst enemy, as she doesn't even post marks there. Instead, we have to…

• Dr. Kirkpatrick was very nice and understanding, but your grade is very dependent on the TA.

• I'm sorry but this class was quite boring. After the first week more than half of the class stopped showing up. No assignments, no quizzes or exam. Only a few projects and in class assessments (show up for those!).
