Awesome professor
Very good professor, she explains the content easily.
Honestly, just take the class. You will not regret it.
good teacher, very nice and engaging
Very thorough, passionate about what she teaches. She explains herself well and will tell you what you need to do to pass that class. You must attend and pay attention to the lectures. She brings great energy to the class and overall a great professor.
Professor Carol Kaplan is an amazing professor! She is very kind, funny and makes her lectures interesting and fun. The assignments aren't difficult, and there is plenty of time to study and do well on the chapter tests. I would highly recommend taking this professor. She is Great!
Do your work and you will pass.
Would definitely recommend her class to anyone. Just attend her class and do her work and you will pass.
Really good teacher would take again.
She is great! The final project is in groups. And she provides all the information needed to pass the exams. She is very knowledgeable. Wont pass if you dont do the work, but is not a heavy class. The class is actually very interesting.
Very easy class. The exams are cake, just review her classes or pay close attention is her lectures, and you are set. Her homework are fun, nothing out of the extraordinary. You will enjoy her class, she asks questions while lecturing but not knowing is part of the class.
Amazing professor, take her!
Professor Kaplan was awesome. I would definitely take a class with her again. She lectures through well thought out power-points and really has an easy way of explaining things. She is not trying to fail you and I feel she creates assignments that are fair and easy to complete. All her exams are open book, but she does love a good 'Trick Question'
She does a great job of thoroughly explaining the course material. She makes sure her students get their questions answered and encourages question asking. Because it was online for me, this was a very lecture-oriented class and attendance got you good grades and taught you something. Finally, group projects are very frequent so try to get along.
She is very nice also direct the test were not hard everything is recorded so you can always go back to look at old lectures.
She is an excellent professor, explains her classes very well, and always helps her students with whatever they need.
Excellent teacher the content of the class is organized in a clear and easy-to-understand way. She is in charge of making the class interesting, motivating the students
I loved the course and professor Kaplan made sure everyone is in line with her, classes where long enough to get distracted but it is important to make sure you pay attention for the tests.
I loved taking this class with Professor Kaplan. She is very caring and kind and is always making sure her students are on track. Her assignments are time-consuming but very easy to do. Overall a great class, and I learned many new things.
She's really good and there are just like 5 assignments in the whole semester.
Professor Kaplan is a good professor. She knows about the material. The class is interesting and helpful. I will take her again for sure.
My experience in this curse I really enjoy the environmental class and I have been learning excellent thing that I can do and change my behaviors, I enjoy this class because our professor teach us to see what is happen in the word and how we are affecting our earth but at the same time she teach us how to start and making changes. Excellent class.
Professor Kaplan has an exceptional teaching style. She does not assign excessive work and Ive still been able to learn more than in most of my other courses. If you are looking for a professor who engages with her class and respects everyones time, do not look any further. I genuinely recommend you take her course; you wont regret it.
Very clear expectations, and easy to follow. Lectures are fun, and the professor is knowledgeable.
Took this class in the spring. Great professor. Super helpful.
Fun class to take. To get an A in this class you're going to have to put in the effort. Not a hard class but the effort is definitely required to get a good grade.
Professor Kaplan was a real gem. She's sweet, fair, funny, and very informational even on things outside of the lecture. She's a great teacher, is very understanding, makes it easy for everyone to be on the same page, and she's very knowledgeable of this subject. I would absolutely take her class again. Totally recommend her!
She's great!! Loved learning from her. She made the subject interesting and was very informational and knowledgeable even outside of her lecture. Awesome teacher overall.
Professor Kaplan strives to give a good class, she is very organized, her evaluations are made to help the student understand her class. If you take the class with her, you will learn and do her assignments without much effort.
Professor Kaplan makes class fun and interesting. She's very knowledgeable, and delivers the material in easy to understand context. I would definitely take her class again!
Great professor would recommend her to anybody
She is great! Assignments are one presentation on a current event, watching a couple of movies, a couple of easy reports and a final group project. She is an easy grader and is understanding. Easy A. Final Project was a to make a 1min video on an environmental topic but made funny. The idea is to make it shareable in social media. Gives extra credi
What a great professor! Clear and fun lectures. Keeps us interacting. The video final is a little awkward but that's okay. Nothing that can't be done. 10/10 would recommend and take again.
Best professor
The professor went over the Syllabus at the beginning of the course showing us every single assignment and exam that we were going to do, this was I was able to plan ahead to finish everything on time. She is very organized and you can clearly understand all the material in her class even if you are not good at science. One of the best professors.
The class should be easy to pass if you do all the work its simple. Make sure to attend all of the classes mandatory to pass.
The class is easy if you pay attention and attend class. Easy assignments and lectures. Super understanding and reliable. Other than that very good teacher.
Great Professor! She is a fair grader and gives excellent lecture. Love that she keeps the class very interactive. There is a group project at the end that's a little awkward but it's extremely easy and interesting. Attendance is mandatory, but overall great professor and would 100% take her again!
Professor Kaplan is great! You will for sure learn in this class. It does feel work heavy at the start due to the assignments depending of course on how many classes your taking. There are 3 exams which are open notes. A current events presentation, and 3 papers to turn in. Last, a final project which is group based but its a video recording.
Better than most!
Amazing professor. Very nice an respectfully.
Great Lectures and Passion behind topics
The class is very entertaining and the professor makes it easy for you to get involved, I had a long class of 3+ hours and about every hour we had a break which was very helpful.
Very good professor, tests are based off the power-points and is very fun. Very few assignments and very caring. Would definitely take her again!
She was so patient with questions.
Very good professor, tests are based off the power-points and is very fun. Very few assignments and very caring.
Amazing Professor and very informative class. You pay attention to the PowerPoints and you will pass the class. Plenty of extra credit opportunities and the Professor is swift with email responses. No late work, but she gives you the assignments well ahead of time. Would for sure take again.
I loved her classes.
Lectures are long and boring but she gives breaks (4 hour classes). She doesn't like to reply or repeat her self she'll just say "look at the first class recording."
Great Teacher
SHE is great and very understanding and is reasonable when grading, just do the work and you'll pass for sure.
Easy class. Explain very well, use videos and movies. She is flexible with assignments.
Prof. Kaplan is very understandable and very helpful. I would definitely �� take her again.
The best professor I had took in Miami Dade college, her assignments are not easy but she gives you a lot of time to complete them. I could understand everything from her lectures not like other classes held online where they give you a ton of work and assume that you understand it by yourself and you complete them on time.
The best teacher is inspirational, organized, and cares for the understanding of her students.
Prof. Kaplan was a nice teacher overall. The assignments were relatively simple, we did some movie reviews which were enjoyable. The lectures are long but in-depth, the test answers are in the PowerPoints. Attendance is graded, and she offers extra credit with a make-up class. Final was a group video skit. 2 exams total.
The class is online with few in-person classes. She is a good teacher just be ready to take notes for the quizzes skip class you won't pass just pay attention and you'll be fine.
This class is very tough for an elective but if you need this class for your major it is a solid choice but i would definitely recommend other options as an elective class.
The Professor is very flexible when it comes to deadlines and also very understanding if you're having an issue during your class time, barely any homework but the work she requires needs to be done correctly, when she teaches she actually knows what she is talking about, overall, a good class.
She is very passionate about the enviorment
There aren't too many assignments to stay on top of. As long as you attend lectures and review the PowerPoints you should be fine with the tests. I would say this is an interesting class to take which doesn't overwhelm.
Attendance is mandatory as blackboard records your attendance.
Ms. Kaplan is such an amazing professor! Even though the lectures were around 3 hours due to short semester, she made sure we would get breaks in between and made lectures as engaging as possible with her PowerPoints! Get ready for group projects and be ready to watch movies and review them! She makes sure everything is easy to understand.
Professor Kaplan is really amazing even though the lectures were long she would engage with the class to make it interesting and would give us a 10 minute break, so we wouldn't interest she gives extra credit and her exams were pretty easy and she is very kind and very understand and attendance is important.
Getting in touch with Carol can be difficult from time to time , its best to be on top of tasks for your own sake.
Does not respond well to emails but seems overwhelmed so its understood.
I took an online class with her that was 3.5 hours long but readings are full of memes and funny content to make it easier for us to understand. Attendance is really important for this class, otherwise, you won't catch up.
Lectures are long and necessary for attendance however she does a great job in giving breaks to the class and presenting with interesting material. The class was easy and barely any homework. There is one group project and she does provide extra credit. Glad I took this class with her!
Honestly, her power point's are a bit difficult to get through sometimes due to how busy and messy they can be, and when it comes to your exams you're going to need the power points for help. But its not a particularly difficult class, I'd say the power points are my biggest complaint. For the most part though she's pretty good at lecturing!
Emailing her and response time is a bit tough in my experience, but she is great at lecturing and is clear with her grading scale as well. Power points are messy despite being required to help find answers for the tests. Regardless, she's a pretty good professor and you could learn a lot from her lectures.
She is great at lecturing and is clear with her grading scale as well. Class is never boring with her.
She was pretty good and I liked her a lot as a professor. She made environmental science engaging and also made it not too difficult but to the point, it would be a cakewalk. One of the better classes I have taken so far. Definitely prepare for the exams though, they can get rough!
she is very nice but you have to get the assignments done but overall is an easy and enjoyable class
Excellent teacher, class is not boring. Makes it very easy to get an A.
Great teacher, easy to understand.
Very easy professor
Great teacher, amazing class.
Great Professor, amazing lectures.
She's great!
I took this class as a requirement. Not hard as long as you pay attention. The professor made us watch movies touching on the topics we were studying, so that was great way to learn and not be boring.
Very knowledgeable and ethusiastic
Despite only paying minimal attention in class and not putting all my effort forward, I did learn some things, and I think I'm ending off with a good grade. Good professor. So long as you put in some effort in showing up to class and doing the assignments, you should be able to pass and even get an A. It's not that difficult.
Professor Kaplan is a great professor, although there is group projects and it could be made difficult because of your teammates it is still possible to pass the class.
Very nice Professor
PROFESSOR KAPLAN IS AN AMAZIN TEACHER, SHE MAKES THE CLASS FUN.
Professor Kaplan makes class interesting and makes sure you understand everything. Lecture heavy, but as long as you take notes you will pass
Good professor, be ready to do quite a bit of work but easy to understand. And gives opportunities if you miss and assignment or turned it in late.
Best class I've ever taken. The professor truly knows what she is teaching.
The professor was overall a good one, she cares and her lectures all inform you on everything she assigns only thing about this class was that it was a VERY long lecture. Good teacher, would take again.
Awesome professor, passionate about this course/topic. Gives lots of chances to make up assignments and extra credit. Attendance is mandatory, lectures are long but not boring and gives breaks throughout. Exams are based off the lectures & PowerPoint, put in the work and youll have no problem passing
She is a great professor who cares about her teaching, she trys to make it as interactive as possible . Make sure you are paying attention cause the lectures and power points are super important
She is the best
The class was really interesting and the professor excellent. She truly cares and tries her best for her students to understand all the content for the class. If you have any questions or concerns at any point during the semester, you can easily talk to her and she will try to help you. She talks about interesting topics and their applications
Great professor, she puts a lot of efforts into the lectures and the class to make it interesting for the students.
Amazing teacher!
Very nice Professor.
This professor is amazing and is very good to work with. If you have any issues you can always address them with her outside of class and she is willing to help you out as long as its a valid reason. I enjoyed her class and learned a lot in it. She makes the content fun and is interactive with students.
Professor Carol was one of the best I had in this semester. I will take this professor again for other classes. I highly recommend.
Good teacher and would recommended again !
Amazing teacherr!
Great class. Prof. Kaplan is very good at explaining the material and making the class smooth for students.
Amazing teacher would take again!
She is great
You definitely learn a lot in this class - lots of bonus credit opportunities. And the most important thing is that at the end of the class you have a greater awareness of our environment.
Great class and great teacher but I believe the way she promotes participation can be improved. She tends to constantly ask the class basically what did she just say which causes awkward silences that delay the lecture. She should ask questions that promote discussion should time allow and experiment with other forms of participation.
This professor gives lengthy lectures and tries to involve the whole entire class to participate. Not a difficult class but there is a large workload. Would take again ����
Good energy. Cares about it.
I learnt very important information about the environment and evolution. You can tell Professor Kaplan really cares about the environment and her students. You need to show up to class! There is a final group project and some essays as well.
Reads off the Powerpiont.
Class is pretty easy, but could get boring (she talks a lot). But very educational and very little assignments. Her tests are based off of the PowerPoints which is easy, just time consuming having to go PP by PP to find one answer.
She makes EVR Science fun! The lectures are fun and easy to follow but still insightful!
Well paced class for those who struggle on submitting assignments on weekly bases.
Definitely recommend, it to anyone who has a full-time job ! Overall great Professor !
The professor was really into the topics in class and made sure you gained a lot from the work given. Would take again.
Really goes into the topics in class. Would take again.
Awesome teacher really cares about her work
Professor Kaplan is one of my easier teachers I have taken during my semester at Miami Dade College. She is helpful with grading and is very nice/open with the students, time flies in her lectures and the due dates are very reasonable!
She is one of the best teachers I have ever met because she is accurate with each of the ideas she tries to convey to her class. She is very clear with all the material to work in class and she has a very organized work format.
Great professor, very clear expectations from the beginning of the term. Several group projects and presentations. Would take it again.
Very nice professor. Attendance is very important. In the final project, you have to be a little creative.
Great professor, she is very nice. There is a final project, you have to be creative. She gives extra credit.
Even though the class contents and lectures are quite a lot to grasp, Professor Kaplan's techniques through her assignments and tests helps you to understand the information. She displayed total control over the class discussions although there were more than 30 students in the class. She speaks to everyone with dignity and respect.
Great class. Prof. Kaplan is very good at explaining and is helpful outside of class.
Professor Kaplan talks to everyone with respect. She always have answers to any question you may have pertaining to the class contents. Although, there's a lot of information to remember, the tests and assignments are straight forward. And she maintain class control by through various blackboard features such as chat and polls.
She's super nice, and the homework is pretty easy to do, very clear and simple. She makes her powerpoints entertaining with little memes, and she knows what she's talking about. Often ends class early, and she's always willing to answer questions. Genuinely nice professor, def recommend for this class.
While the lectures were long, the professor was informal about what she taught us and made sure we understood what we were learning. I would recommend this teacher in the future.
The professor is very nice. Her class is an easy A as long as you pay attention to her lectures and do the homework's. Her lectures are explain very clear . She also responds back to emails quickly.
Professor Kaplan made the class interesting, overall easy. There is not much homework and the professor explain the work to be turn in.
Carol M. Kaplan is a solid choice for a professor. Her lectures are intresting and fairly engaging. They are a bit long, but she does program for breakes. I felt like I really learned a lot in her class! She is a little hard to get in touch with and not the most organized. Grading is done by very easy tests and around 4 assignments. Good choice!
One of the best online classes I have taken she is a great teacher willing to help. It has been of great help since I am outside the country for personal reasons. The best is that she has a clear format for the homework or tests. And when they are due. There is a final project fun to do in groups. Since I am an environmentalist I love this.
She's sweet and the class wasn't difficult at all, very understanding, and most importantly inspirational! she turned me much more environmentally friendly.
This class really gets you to think about the environment. It can be a lot of info but if you show up to every class and pay attention the class is a breeze. There are very few assignments & only two non proctored exams that you have over a week to complete. Professor Kaplan is super nice and patient answering questions. Her powerpoints are great!
I would take this class again
Professor Kaplan is an amazing teacher and educator. It is evident she is passionate about what she does, and that can be seen through her insightful commentary and engaging lectures. You have many chances to succeed in this class, and I highly recommend it to any Dual Enrollment or MDC student.
Very easy class, just make sure to review the PowerPoint presentation and you should be good.
CAROL HAS TRULY MADE THIS CLASS A FUN EXPERIENCE AND I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING CLASS. SHE KEEPS THINGS FUN AND INTERESTING AND I FOR SURE LEARNED ALOT IN HER CLASS.
Easy A, just read the PowerPoint presentation before every exam and you should be good.
It is pretty good as long as you attend class and complete your one PowerPoint presentation and the overall homework that is due weekly. The exams are pretty extensive but surely with the book, you'll do OK. It is not too demanding but it's not a walk in the park either.
Not that hard as long as you stay up to date on the reading and take notes on lectures
It is hard to reach her through email, but other than that Professor Kaplan is great. She is understanding. Would recommend.
You may find it difficult to reach her through email. But other than that, Professor Kaplan is great. She is understanding. Would recommend.
The final project was to do a social media project and it was really fun.
Professor Kaplan makes this class fun and entertaining. You will learn a lot from assignments. There's a mid-term exam and a final exam. There's a Final Social Media project that is done in groups. Lots of extra credits. If you do all assignments you shall do well. On top, she's really cute and you will never bore at watching her, 100% Recommended
Great professor, will def take again.
Good professor, but if you don't have time for group projects or watching movies to give descriptions it's not for you.
Professor Kaplan's lectures are fresh and engaging and make you see the importance of our environment. She gave a lot of time for the assignments and also extra credits. You will love to be part of her class.
She is a great teacher. She makes you see the importance of our environment. She gives out homework at the beginning of the first day of class but she gives you a long time to turn it in. She also gives extra credit if you need it. Her presentations and lectures are cute and funny while still having the importance of the environment.
Professor Kaplan was extremely sweet and nice. She was always willing to answer my questions and you learn in a fun way. the work she assigns is tough but definitely manageable! Completely recommend.
Use the textbook and powerpoints for tests or you will not pass
Her lectures are fun and never seem to bore you out! Assignments were pretty easy and simple! Easy A!
Professor Kaplan is doing a great job at teaching EVR1001. Her lectures are informative without being boring, she keeps you engaged, and she does expect you to participate. Personally I'd say take notes during lectures, even though she provides power points. We did have an assigned group project, but were giving plenty of time to put it together.
The class is very straight to the point. You need to show up and you need to be active during the class. Paying attention and asking questions is vital in passing this class along with being responsible, reading the book, and completing your assignments on time.
Carol is organized and assignments are clear and given at the start of the semester. She makes lectures fun and knows how to make it understandable to students. I would take her again.
She is a great teacher. She makes you understand the importance of the environment. She gives out homework, but you will have enough time to turn them in. She also gives extra credit.
She was a wonderful teacher who broke the material down so that you can understand the material. She made the class very easy by having the material in a power point so that you can avoid buying the texts book. Attendance is for a grade so make sure you attend every class. Each class a lot of valuable information was given.
Professor Kaplan is an excellent professor. The assignments are very organized and clear. If you have any question she will be available outside class. I highly recommend her.
This course was definitely an eye-opener for me in reference to environmental conditions and the human contributor to our negative impact. Professor Kaplan was very enthusiastic about the course and was masterful in her lectures. Would definitely take her for another class.
Great, simple, and straightforward class. Would definitely take again!
Great class and professor, would take again any day
What a very good professor, really enjoyed the class and it's very easy to pass. Would take the class again if I could.
Teaches you like you are a third grader. It's insulting that this is a college course. All over the place. Hard to reach. Insanely easy A, but I didn't learn anything. Can't believe I paid for this.
Great Professor,I usually don't like sciences but she makes it interesting would take again!
Lot to learn, tons of info all over, Participation intensive Good class
Awesome class and awesome professor. If you focus on the lectures and read up on the PowerPoints, you are sure to pass. Final project is fun and engaging. Tests are all about the lectures and most of the info is on the PowerPoints. I would definitely take the class again!
Perfect professor, she makes her classes very interesting and easy to understand. If you want to pass her test you just need to read and study the PowerPoints that she gives.
Professor Kaplan is a very patient and respectful professor. If you do all the work and pay attention to details you won't have any problems with her class.
Science isn't my strong suit but she makes it easy to understand. Her lectures are very engaging and entertaining. I would recommend/ take this again.
Professor Kaplan is a great teacher! Very nice and helpful. The class is not difficult at all. Great teacher 10/10
The class is great and professor Kaplan is a wonderful teacher. The class is straightforward and not difficult. Attendance is required, i would take the class again!
Professor Kaplan is a very accessible and respectful professor. If you want an A, do all the work, pay attention to her lectures they are easy and you won't have any problems with her class. I would recommend her! 10/10 great professor.
She is great, make sure you turn in everything on time and follow the directions no way you will receive a grade lower than A
She is a great environmentalist teacher that stays up to date with the currents times as it's relevant to the course.
Professor Kaplan is charismatic! Every lecture was full of valuable information. She creates awesome PowerPoint Presentations. You can tell she is dedicated and enjoys writing her lectures. I appreciated all of the time she put into her course. You are encouraged to engage. Group projects!
She is understandable and answers students' questions when needed. Gives us an ample amount of time to complete assignments and doesn't assign boring group projects.
professor kaplan was very nice and it was a joy to be in her class.
She respects your time and gives very informational lectures as well as many chances to up your grade
Professor Kaplan is cool. She grades pretty easily, just do what she asked. There's one group project and 3 essay assignments. 2 exams, open book but not too easy. The questions are pretty tricky and the test are long. Overall, good professor.
A great environmental class where you learn a lot of information and also the professor is very understanding and kind. If you ever need to speak with her she always finds time to. I would definitely recommend this professor.
Professor Kaplan really takes her time to make sure you understand the material. Pay attention and read the lectures and youll pass the exams. I really enjoyed the assignments and class overall.
Class was great she explained everything well
Very good class. I learned a lot
Professor Kaplan was very helpful. Always looking for a way to help her students. She did provide extra credit. Attendance is mandatory. All her lectures were fun and always explained the material.
Professor Kaplan is probably one of the best teachers out there. The class is easy and straightforward there are 3 exams, 5 assignments, and a group project.
So far Ms Kaplan is the best teacher I had in Miami-Dade College. The lectures are very interesting and inspiring. She put even complicated material in the way you understand it. She truly cares abut the environment and our future in it. The amount of assignments is perfect and all assignment make you reconsider your impact on world ecology.
Very inspiring and just do your work attend class then you'll be fine.
Really nice professor!! Her content is easy to follow and very complete. She is kind and always welling to clarify any doubt. If you have the chance to take your class with her, just do it!!
I loved this class and the content. Professor Kaplan cares about her students and the environment. The assignments are fun and light. The tests are a bit heavy but everything is in the PowerPoints.
As a relatively new teacher, she does her best to make sure that her students understand the material and have as much help as she can offer. This class should be easy to pass if you pay attention and do the assinments. Just a heads up thou be ready to take a lot of notes.
I enjoy the professor's lectures. It is important that you become a better people, not only for you, but for the environment. Teacher keeps the students on track and simple, clear grading system. I would take this professor again.
The class is very informative, she is very punctual, knows the material, and she is fair and willing to help. Plenty of time is given for assignments and test. If you keep up with her lectures, you will do fine.

Great professor, show up to class. Easy assignments and gives extra credit.
The professor is very knowledgeable, and explain everything.
She's a good professor but its not an easy class and she isn't afraid to fail you if you miss an assignment, cheat or don't show up. It's not difficult but you do need to study and it isnt a breeze.
Shes a great professor but you actually need to do the work in her class
I took her on MDC LIVE class so everything was online with online lectures. There were only 8 assignments in the whole class and two tests, unproctored. She answers emails fairly quick and is willing to help with anything. Attendance is mandatory so make sure you select this class at a time when you are always available. Easy to pass, no reading.
Professor is very organized with the work and explains everything that needs to be done in great detail. Tests were difficult for me but you have a good amount of time to complete them. I would definitely take a class with her again!
Professor Kaplan isn't entirely thorough when it comes to submissions. Be careful and take screenshots of your work. If something happens, contact her immediately; do not wait.
The class is an introduction to environmental science and therefore covers a large amount of information in a short time. Professor Kaplan is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. The majority of the class is PowerPoints that condense and simplify the information. Tests are not proctored but they can be confusing and time-consuming
Has no actual assignment, only essays
Very knowledgeable
Incredible teacher, so far the best i had
I really enjoyed learning in this class. the class itself is not hard. As long as you attend class, listen, and make sure to not miss any assignments, you will pass the class.
She's a good professor, you need to be in every class and pay attention to all of them in order to pass the exams.
Professor Kaplan is one of the best teachers in MDC. Her live classes are very interesting (mandatory), and with tons of information to read prior any exam. She also provides great Power Point Presentations which may be used during the exams. I loved the class and will highly recommend it to anyone who really wants to learn!
Easy class, 3 exams (including final) all test are open book. Class may be boring because of the lectures but the tests are based off the powerpoints and recorded lectures. Final project is a group project that is a video about environmental problems where you post on social media and the grade depends on engagement.

Professor takes her lectures very seriously and is passionate about the topic. Assignments are relatively easy and if you complete all of them, it's an easy A for the class. I recommend this class
Very knowledgeable professor. Because of her, I learned a lot about the environment
Class is very straightforward do everything in a timely manner and you will pass.
Very knowledgeable professor.
Is not a bad professor, very straightfoward and clear with the assignments.
Tests are open notes and lectures but are long with no time limit. One group project has to be a video 5 min or less with 4 others. Movie assignments which sometimes you have to pay for unless it's free online. Lectures and powerpoints are a must study guide, the exams are based on them. As well as having a current events PowerPoint presentation.
She put maximum effort to teach and cares a lot. Great professor!
Carol is great professor, she treats her students right, she understands students needs and satisfies them, and she knows her material.
Ms. Kaplan is a good teacher. Knowledgable on course material and is engaging with students. Her lectures are not a snooze fest. Most of the assignments were simple. The exams were a bit more challenging than expected but if you pay attention during the lectures and read the chapters you shouldn't have a problem.
Prof. Kaplan is great. Show up to class and study and you'll be fine. I would highly recommend. Great communication and clear syllabus.
The Professor knows how to manage the class well and she helps you understand the curriculum by teaching step by step in the most simple way. I would love to have her as my teacher again.
Nice professor who makes the topic interesting. Watched a couple of movies, which were used to write papers. Powerpoint lectures can be used on exams. Would take again!
Powerpoint lectures can be used on exams. Nice professor who makes the class interesting. Watched a couple of movies that were used to write short essays. Would take again
She made her lectures entertaining and easy to understand. She was not a tough grader, and if you meet her requirements on an assignment, you will probably get full credit. Her tests can be a little difficult though.
The professor does a good job, and she does very good PowerPoints to help you understand the lectures better, also those PowerPoints help you with the exams. I would take her again.
She was a very good professor, who was not a tough grader, and made her lectures easy to understand.
She was a very good professor with easy to understand lectures.
Professor is extremely serious about her lectures and is highly enthusiastic about the subject. The assignments are simple, and if you finish them all, you'll get an easy A in the class. This course comes highly recommended by me.
covers interning problems going on in our environment. defiantly recommend for someone that's actually interested in learning.
would takes this class again, great professor. Attendance mandatory
Take this class! 3 exams open book (you will find the answers on the powerpoints) and a final video instead of a final exam, attendance is important dont skip the class or join late because you will get 0. Professor Kaplan is helpful and she will respond your emails
The class honestly isnt that hard. The work may seem difficult but its really not that hard because shes not a harsh grader. You just have to attend, do the work, pass the exams.
Really nice professor. Her lectures were engaging and her assignments were fairly easy.
I took this class for one of my credits and it wasn't that it was a bad class, the hours were just long and late so it was hard to stay on task. But, the content of the course was great.
She was really helpful with our assignments. Always knew what she was talking about, I would take her again.
Professor Kaplan is very committed in the teaching and makes you change your mind about the Environment, Definitely take!!
I really enjoyed to be in her class! Professor is very organized with the work and explains everything that needs to be done in great detail.
She is an amazing teacher, I strongly suggest if you need to take Environmental Science she should be your first choice. You wont regret it!!!
She's very big on group projects, but she's chill. Normal teacher!
I took this class based on the reviews, and most of the reviews were for extra credit that she does. The classes and tests were very long (about 3 hours long). She would miss class a lot. She grades presentations hard and some of the homework are simple questions that can answer in short sentences. But wanted 3 paragraphs for each question.
Let me start off by saying this: my class for my MAJOR doesn’t even give HALF the amount of work that this lady does. There’s a quiz for EVERY chapter, however you can find about 95% of the answers are online. When it comes to midterms, god awful. ONE MINUTE per question and there are TONS of questions, with no notes whatsoever
Ms. Kaplan is cool, is was a easy class for me. You must to read a lot, but in overall everything is easy.
Genuinely enjoyed this class! The lectures are filled with everything for the exam. The professor is attentive to her students and provides great feedback. Professor Kaplan, takes her time explaining the assignments that way we fully comprehend them. Would highly recommend professor Kaplan to anyone planning on taking this course.
To start off, professor Kaplan is beyond kind to her students. She ensures we have all the materials necessary to pass the class.

The material is easy as long as you pay attention.

Very easy class and straight forward. Take her, you won't regret it.
She is a decent teacher, papers are always due, the fill in the blanks on exams are a bit tough but she's a good teacher, she cares about her job and her students and that's rare.
She's cool, cares about the environment, wish tests weren't based on lectures but on the book material instead. The book is available online. You won't regret the class, is a fun class overall, I'm still waiting on my grade so fingers crossed.
She is great. Knows a lot.

Very straight forward. Quite a few writing assignments. My only critique is the Exams are not worded well, making it tricky. Overall decent Professor.
Overall good professor. The exams are worded weirdly, making it unnecessarily difficult. Quite a few writing assignments, and a group project.
Assignments were easy, she is lecture & PowerPoint heavy and the exams for the class are worded differently than in the txt which make them a hassle to find the answers. Other than that class is a breeze.
i think this professor is very patient and understanding to her students. she knows she give a-lot of lectures, but be careful the exams are kinda tricky. i just wish she organize the exams better. finding the answers like finding a needle in the hay stack. also be aware of group project.
She's very intelligent and knowledgeable on the subject she's teaching. Plenty of Documentaries and film clips during lectures. Injects cultural references to liven things up. Tests are quite difficult despite being multiple choice and open book. Assignments are fairly simple but quite enjoyable and educational.
The professor started off with a detailed syllabus that we stuck to throughout the entire semester. She was very straightforward and made her expectations clear from the start. She has entertaining power points and makes the lectures inclusive and interesting. There is about one simple assignment every two weeks. Overall it was a great class.
She is very nice and I learned a lot in her class, I would really recommend to take her class.
Professor Kaplan is one of those rare teachers that actually gives a damn. She's a gem, a bit tough but well worth it.
Good teacher, enjoys talking about what she teaches, and her homework assignments are enjoyable.
Excellent teacher. Not only knows a lot about the topic but is very passionate about it. Congratulations.
The professor is very knowledgeable about the material and gives assignments that are trouble-free.
Mrs. Kaplan is an excellent and professional professor. She knows her teaching material very well. She is unequivocal and precise in her instructions and tasks. She is very respectful and organized in all aspects of the course. Respond quickly to student emails.
She's easy and the best.
Great professor! She is very caring and willing to help her students. Very interesting and informative lectures. I have learned a lot about the environment by taking this class.
Learned a lot and Super easy. Could pass the class with my eyes closed.
Great teacher!
Professor Kaplan is very passionate and has a lot of knowledge, overall she is an amazing teacher. All your assignments will be a 2-page essays. The test are really time consuming and questions are tricky due to the way she writes them. Make sure to pay attention to the lectures, all the answers will be based on the lectures and PowerPoint.
Good professor!
Open book exams, group projects, and a few papers - read the PowerPoint and the assigned text in the book to pass the open book exams.
Good teacher, open-book exam, a few papers.
Good Professor. She knows her material and gives good feedback. Very good in communicating and answering emails.
The class is pretty easy. Tests are open book and there are a few writing assignments.
It may seem like a lot in the beginning but the assignments, essays, and the group project is easy. Professor Kaplan lectures are great and the exams are open book on BB. I highly recommend!

Very informative and pretty easy professor/class.
A very interactive class with many interesting lectures. Only downside was the. many presentations
Professor Kaplan is a great teacher, you can tell she loves teaching science and is very passionate. Work isn't hard but you do have at least one assignment per week, 2 exams overall. Only thing is that she doesn't get back to you with emails. I recommend her
Three Exams, zero quizzes, and a few reports. As long as you keep up with the lectures you'll be fine.

Big on group projects
Please take her she is an amazing professor! As long as you do the work you will pass !
Please take her she is easy going and will do her best to help you out. Just do the work and you will pass.
Professor Kaplan was a good professor, but I didn't like a lot of things about the class.
If group projects aren't your thing, this class isn't for you.
