Nice teacher

She is a nice teacher, and the class is pretty easy. I recommend this course.

Good class and good teacher!

Good class.

She is always very peppy for such an early class... Lectures are pretty boring and power points are online to print off. Tests are tricky, material seems really easy, but the wording can sometimes mess you up on exams. She is always willing to help. Hazard city assigments are annoying. Show up to class because there are always in-class assignments

This class was alright. She's very peppy for class and really wants you to enjoy what you're learning. I slept through a lot of the class and still managed a B. The tests are trickier than what you would think but the notes are always available for print. There is random attendance taken. I thought it was really interesting.

Kind of felt like I was in 2nd grade.

She really dumbs down the material. Most of it is covered in GEO 102. I felt like I was in a 2nd grade class. She's nice and it's a pretty easy class. Some of the questions on the test were tricky, but no big deal. She actually had a baby near the end of the semester and Bill took over. He was SO much better!!!

I took this class last semester. The GoogleEarth labs were pretty fun, and you got a lot of interaction with different TAs. To prepare for her tests, I recommend knowing all vocabulary words and diagrams for the chapters covered in the book. Please show up to class and take notes. You can get an A on her tests as long as you study for a few hours.

Class is fairly easy.She dumbs everything down.Didn't use text at all!!Tests can be tricky cuz she asks things you shouldn't have to know such as numbers or even small things you talked about once only.Ended up with an A cuz she gave everyone an additional 2% boost to their overall course grade. NO JOKE. I had an 88.3 and that put me up to a 90.3.

She does not rush thru PP's. She goes go over blackboard, but so people understand whats going on and whats expected of assignments on BB. Shows current events before classes to relate to the class. makes sense. Tests are MC & VERY easy if you do the HW and go to class. Attendance isnt necessary but needed for "B" or better. great prof. helpful 2

currently sitting in class and i am extremely bored. i feel like i am in the 3rd grade. she is nice lately but really im bored. and just so u know. wildfires are hot!!

She was really great. Though it was a huge lecture, she responded to e-mails really fast and would help you out no matter what.

She is very nice but very repetitive which makes the material not as interesting after I've heard it a few times.The Hazard City assignments are not that hard people are just dumb. The slide shows are online so not many notes are necessary to write down just make sure to come on movie days because her extra question is always on a movie.

Super easy class. Attendance not required, very easy to gain alot of points, homework is not hard. She thinks she's teaching 4th graders, but she's really nice and really understanding. Overall good teacher

She is really sweet! I actually enjoyed going to class and thought it was interesting. But you can afford to miss quite a few classes...

She's very sweet and excited to teach. She's always available for extra help because she wants all of her students to succeed. Although, as many people have stated, she treats you like a little kid when she's teaching, I actually preferred that to teachers who hurry through their lectures and don't care if you understood. She's great!

nice lady but boring lectures. shows some videos. talks to use like we are in 2nd grade. online homework and projects are easy. tests are hard--couldnt get higher than a B and i knew the whole study guide. thought it would be an interesting class but it was not. just annoyed most of the time

The content was interesting, and her lectures and the readings were essential to do well on the exams. She was always available for help outside of class, but the content gets a little dry. I would definitely take this class if you need to fulfill a gen-ed requirement.

Love Dr.Bloom. Very nice lady, always looking to help her students. Has no problem taking time out her day to help her students. If you come to her office hour and she sees you are really trying she will definitely give you extra help (lets you redo poor assignments)But test are very difficult and hard to pass. But great teacher.

Very nice! Very helpful. Clear instructions and expectations, tests can be difficult.

Dr. Amy Bloom is one of the nicest professors at ISU. She is very accomdating. If you need a test date moved just talk with her. She does a good job explaining things but she goes really fast over difficult material. I would go into her office hours for clarity. Her tests are difficut because they go deeper than the material. Sweet professor though

Professor Bloom is very nice, and super passionate about the material. Attendance is not taken, and lecture can be somewhat dry at times so it was hard to my myself go. But overall, everything is posted online, so you can always read it outside of class. Tests were pretty easy if you study. I definitely recommend this class to anyone.

This class is very easy if you put minimal effort. Ms. Bloom is really nice, and her expectations are clear. Take this class. If you want an A, you can reasonably earn it in this class

Very nice and awesome professor. I've had Dr. Bloom for a couple classes and she's super helpful in all of them! Highly recommend her!

Dr Bloom is nice but talks to the class like we're 5 years old. I rarely go to class since the powerpoints are online. I also didn't buy the textbook but I still got an A in the class. As long as you do the activities and writing assignments you'll do fine. Pretty easy A if you ask me.

She teaches like you're in 3rd grade but she does this in order to present complex concepts in easier terms. You will have 10 online activities and 5 reading responses, all very easy! 3 tests with 50 questions each. Final is not cumulative. She posts all resources on ReggieNet. Easy class! Especially if you have taken Earth's Dynamic Weather.

Dr Bloom is a really good teacher and it helps that the class itself is pretty easy. Some of the hazard city assignments are tricky but she always goes over them in class. So if you attend class regularly it will be an easy A

She talks to the class like we're little kids and her tests are actually pretty difficult because her power point never really cover the material. Some of the online assignments are a pain and lecture is incredibly boring.

Dr. Bloom is incredibly nice and willing to help her students. I missed a lot of classes due to travel for athletics but she was great about working around my schedule. She let me take two of the exams five days after they were scheduled. The online assignments are incredibly easy too. Lectures can be boring but how many lectures aren't?

Be ready to study a ton of information. If you study though you can get an easy A. class is not mandtory but it helps to be there because she explains things that are going to be on the tests. Also just make sure to do the written responses and if you do they will save your grade.

Dr. Bloom is a good instructor. She knows what she's talking about and clearly articulates her ideas. She does however tend to talk to the students like a kindergarten class. There are weekly assignments but they are EASY. Tests are challenging so you have to take a look at the notes a lot.

Great instructor and makes everything in the lectures clear and makes time in lecture for people to ask questions. One of the best professors I have had in my college career.

Took Dr. Blooms online class. Was challenging but manageable if you purchase and read the textbooks and refer back to them. Dr. Bloom was easily accessible outside of class and although never meeting her, seemed to have genuine concern for my understanding of the course material. Good professor.

Amy Bloom, is a young, bubbly professor. Her lectures were not the most interesting, but the online homework was easy to get 100% on because the answers are on quizlet and I always did them with a friend. Amy is a nice lady and I never went to my 8am and still passed.

She is a great professor. She really knows the layout of her class very well. In this course, I was able to understand the content if I just worked for it. She also gives no final. There is just a fun project at the end that requires some of your own inquiry. I thought coming into this course would be tough, but she has made the weather very fun fo

Nice professor. Passionate about the subject. Lectures are really boring and she repeats herself a lot. Take the lab online, definitely helps and it's super easy. Go to lectures for graded in class activities. Grade is based on 3 exams and labs.

She is easily accessible and responds to emails fast if you have a question. Through emails, she seems sweet and wants to help you succeed. She puts in grades right away and often gives feedback. She sends out emails to remind you that things are due at the end of the week. There is a lot of assignments but most of them are on quizlet/course hero.

Early morning class not my first choice, but she is great at lecturing and always has a good understanding of the content. I would take her again. Attendance is not necessary but seems to help. Tests are graded heavy (3) consist of 75% of your grade. If you test well easy A. The negative posts on here are just not the case.

Dr. Bloom is amazing! She is a very caring and understanding person who genuinely wants her students to succeed. She is organized and lays out what we're doing each week so you know what to expect. There is a lot of reading but it isn't that hard as long as you pay attention. The online version didn't have a final.

Was an 8am. I stopped going after a few weeks. Study for tests for like a month before. If you study you will pass she posts a lot of study materials and tries to help as much as she can. Sweet lady.

I did the 4 week summer course, and it was really easy! there was an online textbook we used to take reading quizzes, but she gave us the questions ahead of time and the quizzes are not timed! You can also email her and ask if your questions are right and she will help you. Other than that, you post in the forum and do weekly check-ins! EASY!!

She gives assignments every week and if you don't do them you will not pass the class. The journal you have to do she actually reads and grades them. She is very laid back. No final!

I had this class at 8 am and I never went to it except for test days and I got a B from just reading the textbook. I loved her as a teacher and her tests were pretty much just copy and pasted from the book when I took it.

It was a good class, however, the course material for 100-level course is just too much. Get ready to do too much of everything.

I took the geography and the weather course with Professor Bloom and really enjoyed it. Every week the course work is the same- you know what to expect. She has super clear instructions, leaves good feedback, and always does check ins to see where you stand and how you feel in the course. Wish I could've had her in person.

I loooooved this class and Dr. Bloom! Her expectations were clear and easy to follow. Getting an A in this class is not hard as its very interesting and easy to follow if you keep a reminder for assignments and when they are due.

professor bloom was amazing. this class was very easy. weekly quizzes that are straight from the textbook along with investigations. she offered extra credit as well.

I've had this professor for two different classes now, and her asynchronous setup is very easy. It is a chapter each week and 2-3 assignments, so definitely be sure to break it up throughout the week. She provides checklists so you know you're not forgetting anything and is very accessible through email. Responds quickly and gives good feedback.

No tests and little interaction with Professor Bloom. Mostly working in the online textbook and completing small assignments. One of the easiest courses I've ever taken.

Professor Bloom was great. She was easy to get ahold of on this online course and was super helpful. There was no tests or a final just reading and a couple assignments each week as well as some bigger paper/assignments each month. But she was great and it was super easy.

Dr. Bloom is overall a great professor to have. She is always very friendly and she is organized with her teaching style. The class itself is fairly easy but you do have weekly journals to complete, but on the plus side there are no quizzes or tests. I would definitely recommend taking her for GEO 100.

Very easy course, Prof. Bloom let of choose if we wanted to attend class or not (weren't penalized for not coming). All the assignments are extremely easy, you can get a 100 on almost everything just keep up with the journals. No tests or quizzes, just 3 homework assignments a week.

While I took this course online, I loved having Amy as a professor. We used an online textbook and turned in all of our assignments on Pearson. There were a lot of assignments each week, but they weren't too hard. We never had quizzes or tests. If you have to take this course, I would recommend taking it online with Amy!

literally the easiest class ever. class just had short assignments & quizzes on pearson, discussion posts & replies, and a couple current event assignments every couple of weeks. super easy and you can work at your own pace. definitely waitlisted at first but waited a month and they opened it to sm more people, take this class!

Dr. Bloom is an amazing professor. This class was super easy and enjoyable. She gives encouraging feedback and always reminds you to ask her any questions you may have. All you need to do is do the assignments on time which is really easy to do. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Bloom to anyone looking for a science class with a great professor.

I took GEO 211 online with professor Bloom and it was really easy and enjoyable. Never really interacted with the professor at all, but her criteria for grades was very clear. Just get your work done on time and you'll be fine.

Dr. Bloom is a very nice professor and this is actually the second semester in a row I have taken one of her classes. Participation or attendance is not required or necessary, as she put everything you could possibly need online for you. There is a lot of work on the online textbook and some writing assignments, none of which are difficult.

I took this class online. It was easy. Do the work each week and you are fine. No tests or final exam or papers. The current event assignments were the only thing that made me nervous but as long as you fully complete them and show effort you will get a good grade! Nice teacher.

Dr. Bloom is a very smart professor, he lectures are just long and she tends to drag things longer than needed. There are not exam, quizzes or final, just a semester project. She is a pretty easy grader tho

I am taking GEO135 for my AMALI and I'm glad I took it with Bloom. All of the assignments are online, attendance isn't mandatory, and 1 project is due at the end of the semester. I am taking GEO211 with Bloom again next semester to complete my SMT requirement. The writing assignments and the project are the "hardest "part of this class.

I took this for my B.S. requirement online and it was so easy! You have 1 assignment and 1 discussion each week and they are simple to do but can be time consuming some weeks. I honestly always did my assignments right before they were due and I was fine. Easy and she cares about her students! Not a lot of reading or super hard work.

I took natural disasters, an asynchronous course. I've had her before and she is always great. She responds to emails fast and always is kind. I felt like she made this course very simple, but I learned a lot! unfortunately, there was a lot of busy work but it was reasonable.

super nice! there were no tests in this class but there was a lot of hw each week but it was easy stuff

Professor Bloom is a great professor! She is very helpful and caring and if you reach out for help, she will always be there for you. This course was very easy. I recommend the online textbook, but you will 100% need it. The homework load is about two hours per week in my opinion. Very easy GenEd!

I really liked her class. My class was online so there were no quizzes, tests, or final, instead we had project type assignments and they were not too difficult. The homework was very easy. She is very good at explaining what needs to be done in order to get a good grade.

Prof.Bloom is a caring professor who is very passionate about the whole "tour of the world" theme. Lectures were kinda dull and rehashed the most important notes from the $100 textbook which is required to access the hmrk. Assigned things across two sites which made things confusing and there's an overall project you work on the whole semester.

This was the easiest class I have taken in college. No tests. Just a 200 point project at the end. which is very easy. There is homework every week but it is so easy. Professor is really nice and passionate about the course and responds to emails fast. TAKE THIS CLASS

Good for an online course! reading questions, a reading assignment, a discussion post, and a journal entry on a news article due every Sunday night. Workload was initially overwhelming, but the routine made tasks quicker. Spreading out work helped. Clear instructions and lenient grading made scoring full points easy. No exams!

This course was really easy if you do not fall behind and do the work. There is a discussion post one week, and then the following week you have to reply to two posts, and that cycle repeats. There are no exams, but there are 3 'bigger' assignments spread out through the course that are also easy.

If you need an SMT credit class this is the one to take. Class was fairly easy as all the HW is online and due at midnight every sunday night. Professor Bloom cared for her students deeply as she has check in assignments and responds to everyone. No exams or final either.

Prof. Bloom's GEO135 class is a fairly easy Gen Ed that covers a lot of ground. The workload is manageable, with weekly assignments and a semester-long project instead of exams. Unstuck ai was a helpful study tool alongside the textbook. Overall, a good option for fulfilling requirements.

Professor Bloom has been an awesome professor, and she seems very passionate about the classes and subjects she teaches, very knowledgeable. As long as you show up to class and keep up with what's going on throughout the semester, it's definitely a more than manageable class.

Dr. Bloom was a great professor. Her lectures were kinda boring but she tried to make them fun. It is an easy class though if you just stay on top of work and Dr. Bloom is super kind and tries very hard to make class interesting!

She is so sweet and really cares for her students. Although there is lots of homework its very straightforward. All assignments have a 1 week grace period to turn in.

Her class is based off lecture, but she made it very interesting with videos and visuals. She always posted announcements and expectations for the week. She often posted a little too much on Canvas, but the homework was helpful and the exams were not hard, but challenging enough. I thought she did a great job at teaching the course

I completed this class in less than two weeks, while also taking 3 other courses. It consists mostly of readings, reading questions, content questions, and current event assignments. The textbook has a 14-day free trial, so I didn't even pay for the textbook. Bloom's expectations are clear, and she gives good feedback!

She is so sweet and really holds you accountable to your own things. She made the lectures tolerable

Honestly this class is very easy, there are assignments online that usually take an hour to complete but that is all. It has a one-week grace period to complete the assignment, she does ramble a lot so I find myself daydreaming a lot during her lectures but overall, she is so sweet. If you want an easy A, take this class its honestly so worth it.

She's super nice and you can tell She's passionate about what she's teaching. The homework is just a lot of busy work but I personally like it

Dr. Bloom is a great professor. She is caring and funny and knows how to keep the class entertained. The class is lecture-heavy, but the quizzes are easy. The final is optional, and there are in-class activities to encourage going to class. Easy A.

Dr. Bloom is overall a good professor. The class is super easy and should be an easy A if you just put in some work. The exams are a breeze but you do need to study lots of terms for the exams. She gives out weekly assignments that honestly seem like a lot at first but truly aren't. She is also super nice and you could go to her about anything.

This was a great course! We had weekly assignments that did take a while to complete (~3 hours), but all of the information was interesting and easy to understand. I learned a lot about weather and the Earth in this course and Dr. Bloom is a great professor! I would definitely take this class if you are able!

Dr. Bloom is very caring towards her students and obviously very passionate about the subject. While the weekly assignments are very time consuming, they are not difficult. Study the terms and maps and you will be set for good grades on the exams.

Amazing professor who cares about her students. You do not need to attend class. Study the maps and key terms and you are set for the tests. Make sure to complete homework and the tests, and that's all you need. Final is optional. Project at the end of the semester.
