Dr. Brysch is far the best professor I've taken at TAMU. Easiest A ! She cares about you and your grades and will give a lot extra credit because she wants all her students to do really good in her exams!

Relates with the students REALLY well. Seemed like an average prof at the start, but as the semester went on, she knew that we were stressing over other classes, so she made a lot of assignments (and even the FINAL) optional. There were also many opportunities for extra credit, but I didn't need any of them since it was so easy. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!

The class was very easy if you attend lectures. You take 4 exams, lowest exam grade dropped, and they are primarily based off of the lecture slides. A cheat sheet was allowed for each exam. 10 in person pop quizzes that were essentially given as attendance markers, and 8 sub regional quizzes which were very easy and open note.

She's late to class most days, likes to give relationship advice during lecture, and speeds through lecture. That being said, this class is very easy with few assignments and cheat sheets for the tests.

I stopped going to the class after the first exam and only went for the exams and got an A+. Super easy class. Can use a cheat sheet on exams and I just put the vocab words from her slides on the cheat sheet and did good. In class extra credit, but hardly any to make a difference. You probably wont need it.

This class is meant to be more about introductory geography (as was defined in the syllabus), yet she somehow changed this course into a professional development course. As far as I am aware, this class (with mandatory attendance) has been the largest waste of my time, and I would highly recommend avoiding taking her in-person course if possible.

Dont take this class it is way too political. I think I learned more about political topics than geography. If you want to learn about racism, religion, migration, and ethnic culture sure take this class. If you want to learn about the earth then do not take this class. Professor was rude at times and condescending, which got annoying, but not bad.

By far the EASIEST class ever. One quiz due a week with two attempts but it's literally so straightforward. Two exams (midterm and final) untimed, open note, and you have a while to get them done. Like I could not say more good things about this class. Take it.

She is very condescending and shushes people even if they aren't talking. Definitely pay attention because stuff she says is on the test and its not always on the slides. Only had to complete 3/5 assignments. This is one of the most boring classes I have taken and I only took it to fulfill a requirement. Not super easy but not super difficult.

I highly recommend this for an easy online course. There is a quiz each week, and then you can choose to complete 2/3 assignments posted. Didn't take up a lot of time with a busy schedule and a good GPA boost. As long as you submit the open note quizzes on time it should be a guaranteed A.

This was an extremely easy class with 1 quiz each week (usually 10 questions, open note, and you get 2 attempts). Additionally, there are 3 assignments, and you complete 2/3 and they are not too bad. You have 1 midterm and a final, open note and you get 2 attempts. Overall, very light workload.

GEO 301 is EASY! Lectures aren't mandatory but she usually does bonus twice a week and they are super easy participation sheets with like three questions. You have to write a couple essays and do 10 quizzes (on your own time, super easy, online) during the semester but that's it outside of exams. After bonus points my grade went from a 92 to a 98.

She made it very obvious that she did not care about this class. Half the time she came in not knowing what we were supposed to be covering that day. All she does is read straight off the slides and even admits to not knowing what some things on the slides mean. She is also very liberal leaning and she makes it very clear in certain slideshows.

Worst class I've taken at A&M, the professor even more so. "Dr." Brysch is the epitome of credentialism. Reads the slides at an elementary level and goes on tirades about racism and injustice. She ridicules students who ask questions. Maybe 20% of the class was geography, and the rest oppressed people groups. Save your sanity and steer clear.

Easy A because this class has nothing to do with geography. "Geographical sociology" should be the name of this class. I stopped going to class after the first exam because all she does is rant about racism and oppression. Still made an A. There is a time and place to talk about those things, but not on uneducated tirades yelling at students.

She is very organized and a good professor. She provides readings in canvas that can be wordy, but you can reference them during assignments. It is a good class and fun elective to take. Do your assignments well, do the projects ahead of time, and put thought into your answers and you will get that A!
