Well, out of three years spent at Auburn University I have never had a worse lecturer. If you want to sit in a class and listen to what could very well be a high-school student reading you slides in no apparent order, then this class is for you. Exams aren't ridiculous, but its quite difficult to take clear notes in lectures that have no structure

The only reason to go to class is that she occasionally gives extra credit opportunities (If you leave class early, usually she will give the rest of the class a test question or extra credit). Lectures suck. Shes very spiteful to those who dont bend to her will. She doesn't really know what she's talking about, tests aren't about geography really.

Dr. Brysch really enjoys geography. It was really easy to pass her tests because she gave study guides & posts notes on Canvas. I'd take her again not because I enjoyed the class but it was an easy grade. Don't buy the book. I opened it once--waste of money. All the tests info is from her notes.

So sweet! Her class is very easy, test questions are pulled directly from her study guide and the textbook self tests. She is absolutely adorable! Her lectures can be a little boring, but you can tell she cares about geog and that she knows her students are there for a credit. Random attendance slips. Extra credit! Get her for geography if you can!

Dr. B is awesome! If you thought her GEOG1010 class was easy, this one was even easier! Take home tests (easy essays) and classwork! She is great. She made the class fun with interactive activities and games. I am taking her again! Go to class because you get the classwork and she takes attendance.

Big lecture class. She gives lots of opportunities for extra credit. Hands out participation sheets almost every class to count as attendance. Tests are super easy to study for too.

Dr. B made this class as easy as she possibly could. She gives you all the questions that will be on the test, you only have four hw assignments, and she grades on attendance, so go to class! Ive never had an easier class, she gets nonmajors are taking this so she goes so easy on us and gives an almost ridiculous amount of extra credit. V easy A!!

Skip class? You won't pass.

Dr. Brysch was a great professor! Her tests were mainly based off of the self tests she posted in Canvas, so if you go over those and understand the information in them, you'll be fine. She does take random attendance activities, and your friends can't sign one for you, she'll know. I never paid attention in class and did just fine.

Dr. B is amazing! My third class with her and I enjoy her every time! Her classes are extremely easy- just go to class, participate, and do the assignments. If you show effort she gives you an A. She is really sweet and she always made class fun. In this class, we had one paper due in pieces throughout the semester with a few smaller assignments.

Took every class possible with Dr. B even though GEO has absolutely nothing to do with my major. TAKE HER CLASSES, ALL OF THEM!!! We need more teachers and people in the world like Dr. B!!! Super clear about what she requires, gives easy and fun activities, extra credit work, etc. She is always open to suggestions and lets us pick how we want clas

This professor has amazing reviews at other institutions. However, in San Jac, her class is like an English class. All assignments and tests are long essays + the bibliography page. Harsh in grammar and formatting. Takes forever to put grades in and does not answer emails. You never use the textbook you got charged for. Do not take her class here!

Tough grader
So many papers
