She wasn't bad. Geology isn't exactly thrilling, but she tried variety and the work was fairly easy.
Class is easy to get an A in, if you do all work (which is fairly easy). Tests are written answers and she usually grades each one differently. Ex: Two people can write the same exact thing and one may get full credit while the other gets 2 points off).
I had her for intro to oceanography as a telecourse. The class was so easy! I made an A in there. She's very nice and the class was cool.
Had her for oceanography and earth space science. Easy online classes...excellent if u have friends in the class. MUST KEEP UP...dont fall behind. Must buy book.
I had her internet class..earth & envirnmt...really easy...use the book though...work can be kinda tedious but u can take the online quizzes over and over until you get a 100%...she responds to emails fast and is VERY helpful! Sweet lady!
Easy course, a little more work than needed but all easy, and shes really nice
Good class. Learned alot. Sometimes it was time consuming with the group work but she was very helpful and nice.
Easy class as long as you stay on top of things. DOnt get behind and it will be an easy A+.
Pretty easy class, but very tedius. Must do all or most work to do well. Kind of tough grader, but not too bad. Must buy book. Not a bad class, but lots of work.
Geology is dull, and despite all her effort, she is too. She gives odd assignments and her grades don't always make sense, but it's pretty easy to get an A if you do the reading.
class is an easy online class for Oceanography! just do at least 10 ex, and take the tests (you can take them over and over again) oh and the weekly dicussions! and you will get an A guaranteed
She looks crazy, but is extremly nice.Class was a breeze. A-
TAKE THE CLASS ONLINE! It's very easy, just keep up with the work, it's good to have friends in the class to take the quizzes with. You need the book for sure, but trust me, this is your best bet for an easy A science credit.
EASY. class was earth life sci (geology class)? lot of group work/attdnce so expect it but really an easy A if you show up & do HW. tests are not mult choice, but are EASY and graded leniently if you can BS. she's helpful but sucks at emailing u ba
oceanograohy online was easy if you do the work. You have a def A. If you tend to be lazy and put stuff off dont take class, you will never do the work!
I took her Earth, Science and Life course and she is a really horrible teacher in person... plus the class itself puts you to sleep, BUT, her online Oceanography class was by far the easiest A i've gotten at USF. Only take her clases online.
This was a very boring class. She's a fairly easy professor but her lectures are soooo dull. She's obviously well informed and into the subject matter, but she fails to capture the interest of the students.
The online oceanography course would probably be very easy if you had a professor that would return e-mails and set up meeting times. She did nothing to answer any of my questions before the quizes were due.
BORING AS HELL. If you don't like group work, don't take it. That's about 75% of the grade. Busy work, boring lectures, but pretty easy grade. All tests are short essay, but she gives you all the topics ahead of time. Okay class.
I took this class after I took her online to oceanography class. Let me just say this will be two easy A's for me. At the same time the material is definitely interesting. Anytime I email her with a problem she always helps me out. I definitely recommend her online class.
Took online class. Was a breeze. She way nice, helpful and clear. I am taking another online class of hers.
i had her for science, earth, and life and the class kinda sucked. it was all group and busy work. your grade depended on other people. i got a B but wanted an A. HOWEVER, i heard that the online class are sooo easy!
She's an awsome teacher, she is really nice and is always willing to help out. Plus she always extends the due dates for homework and online quizes!
Great teacher and fairly easy class. Covers a lot of good topics and most of the work is group work.
I took her Oceanography course online and it was so easy. You just have to do the work and you get an A.
I took two of her class, Oceanography on line and Science earth and life. Both easy classes and easy As. Just do the work and you will do fine.
Dr. Snow was a very nice teacher. I took her Oceanography class online and didn't have any problems with it. I'd recommend taking it.
Take her class online. She is very easy in grading all you have to do to get a B is take part in the discussions and do the quizzes.......I strongly recommend.
easy class overall. Quizzes are actually harder than expected but can take them as many times as u want. Exercizes are a joke but make sure to do a WHOLE page - thats the only time u'll get full credit.. even though it might say "a few short paragraphs".
Gives alot of group work....if you do not like group work then do not take this class...also sometimes the work assigned doesn't match uo completely with the topic...
She is not very helpful at all. Your questions have to be SOOO specific to get a straight answer. Her online class was ridiculous! It was a joke and I learned nothing.
This was one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. I would recommend this class to anyone. The assigmnments are simple and to the point. I had the online oceanograhpy class. Piece of cake!
Easiest class ever. I took it online and it was a complete waste of time. If you don't pass, it is because you died.
No Comments
An extremly easy class...if you don't go to class don't take it. It's a lot of busy work...like worksheets and easy homework. She is extremly helpful. Her study guides are exactly what is on the test. A very nice teacher and fair.
she makes the class really easy. just make sure you go to class she takes roll.
very easy!
Easiest class ever to get a A in, I recommend the online class instead of her actual class.
Take it online. Great class, just do the work and you will be fine. No class meetings, no final. Assignments due each week, but are easy. Just do your work well.
Pretty easy...good idea to start ahead of time..exercises are time consuming
SOOOOOO incredibly easy, you know ahead of time how much work is required for an "A". you could potentially have an "A" by mid-terms. Everyweek a quiz is required ove rthe internet!!! you take it as many times as needed. A 50 word discussion and a page exercise on specific topic. Easy A,def. recomnd
very easy and clear on how to get an A. do the work and easy to get an A. responds to emails and makes class interesting.
quizzes can be taken as often as you like, discussions are easy and assignments are harder but not too bad. Lets just say that I got over a 100 percent and only opened the book to find some answers for the quizzes. It's a bit time consuming but an easy A for a gen.ed. requirement.
Excellent teacher, E-Mail responses were quick and helpful. Genuinely cares for the students she never actually talks to. Advice: "Online course" is not equivalent to "you may slack off and do it all at the end.". You can't. Do the exercises, the quizzes, and the discussions, and earn your A
Very easy, multiple attempts allowed on online quizzes, could be done with the class by midterm!
Class was super easy! She gives you the information on how to earn a certain grade at the beginning of class. The quizzes can be taken over and over and the discussions are easy! Great class for gen. ed requirement!
This class is so easy. You can take the quizzes as many times as you want and the discussions require little to no effort. The papers are detailed but if you go by the information provided you'll get an A on all of them. Take this class if you want an A in a basic gen ed course. Dr. Snow is also very helpful and gets back to you asap.
This class is the easiest A+ I've ever received. You can take the quizes as many times as you'd like until you get an A and the exercises are long but you only have to do 12 out of 16 and you usually get 100 no matter what you put. The discussions you can completely BS I'd take this class again if I could.
Easy A, If you go to USF take this class. Takes no more than 2 hours a week of material. Give extra credit and will to recieve late work.
This was a very easy class. If you stay on top of these assignments then you'll have no problem. You can even finish the majority of the class in about a week or so since it's online. Make sure you cite your papers, she's very tough on plagarizing.
Awesome Teacher!...Probably one, if not the best teacher at USF. Easy A if you do your work and are good at essay exams, and more than enough points to pick up an A+ before class is over. Take her OCE online class too because thats any easy A as well, and she's always there for any questions or help.
she's soo helpful. if you need a science class, take hers online.i've taken three online classes with her and passed with flying colors. she has it so that you know in the beginning of class and by the amount of work you do, what grade you'll get. she's awesome!
I took this course online...You can take tests multiple times which is amazing! The ONLY bad thing about this class is that the exercises were REALLY long, but not hard...I got an A! :)
This online class is super easy. She lets you know exactly what she wants and exactly how to get the grade you want. She responds to your emails, and lets you take the quizzes multiple times. I easily knocked out both of my natural sciences with her. Take this class!
This class is very straight forward and is an easy A. However, you will be doing a lot of writing. We're talking a couple pages every week. If writing is not your thing, then this class isn't for you.
Exams and discussions are easy, but exercises are time consuming. She is fair and responds quick. If you do well, you will complete this class in November (fall semester).
Super easy class. There are three parts to each chapter. A quiz, discussion, and exercise. It sounds like a lot but if you really want to you can get the class done and over with, it will only take a few weeks rather than all semester.
recomend to talk this class to boost up ur GPA coz its an easy A.... well professor is nice and fair... take it, but be prepared for the exercises, they are quite a bit of work... :-D
TAKE HER!!!!!!! When you take her do the assignments ON TIME because and you can't wait till the end on the quizess the last day she opens them all up. but the assignments u have to do on time. EASY A
Just do the quizzes and atleast put some effort into the exercises and you get a B. Put a little more effort into exercises and an easy A.
Online Class, Very easy, and at the beginning of the semester you can decide what grade you want, and then do as much work as it requires from there. If you get 140 points total out of the 22 quizzes, so 220 points total, you get a C. And then on top of that, if you do 10 of 16 simple 250 word discussions, you get a B. Then A is u do assignments 2
A great teacher. Very fair and understanding and easy going. best online teacher i ever had!
Very kind professor and a great on line course; I wish USF offered more on line course like other universities. This course makes many things about the ocean interesting.
Very disappointed with this teacher. Received no feedback regarding exercises until semester was almost over. Grading seemed to be arbitrary at times. Not the hardest class by any means, but I would not take this teacher again.
This course was not difficult but the work was tedious. be prepared to spend allot of time working on the assignments.Dr. Snow had no problem extending due dates for those who where too busy watching a football game but when a real personal emergency arises she didn't care. she also makes up her own plagerising definition.also the grading was unfai
she helps and does answer to emails unlike other online classes....easy class but work is tedious...grading a little unfair offers extra credit...
TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE!! soo easy. just put the time in, dont fall behind on exercises and u will get an A. dont need the book!
I took her online oceanography class, it was easy, she is a hard grader on the written assignments, but the quizes are easy and you can take them over and over. Then if you miss a quiz she lets you make it up at the end of the semester, the only thing you can make up is the assignments, so do those and you will definatly get a B or higher
very difficult to get an A...professor is not clear on what she wants from you, and won't really tell you if you ask. Many of the quiz questions can't be found in book.
I took this class online. There are 15 quizzes and you have to do all of them but u can retake them as many times as you want. There are 16 exercises and u have to do 10 and get at least 90 points. 16 discussions and you have to do 10. If you do all that, you get an A. Its all based on a point system. Def. requires time, but u can do well if u try
Well, 15 quizzes.. not all answers that you think are right from th ebook end up being wrong. She grades hard on the assignments. She says you need to do 10 out of the 16, but to get an A you mine as well do them all. Her grading is confusing.. Read her explaination on her grading a few times, trust me! Over all it's easy.
You do not have to buy the book for her oceanography class. She allows you to retake the tests multiple times however the questions are different some of the time. You have twenty minutes to take the tests so you can look up the answers online. There are discussions (for a B) and written assignments (for an A) every week, but they are easy.
Not an easy A but it is an easy B. This was online and the exerises are 1 to 2 page papers and to get an A you have to do 10 of them. But if you do all the quizzes and discussions you should get a B. You can retake the quizzes as much as you want.
This was an online class, which I probably won't do again because I always forget during the week to keep up with it and spent all day sunday making up for it. She grades the exercises harshly but it's easy enough to get a B.
This class was easy. All that is required is the weekly quizes, which you may as many times as you want to get the best grade, weekly class discussions and you have to view a different website every week and write a 1-2 page paper on it.
Class is easy, but to get an A or A+ you do you have to do your work, this class just requires a little bit of time, not much effort though.
I took Intro to Oceanography online with her and it was the easiest class I've ever taken. You choose your grade. However, based on a series of e-mails that went back and forth, it became evident that she is not all that competent. Still a nice lady though.
Dr. Snow is awesome! She is very helpful and resets a test as many times as you need to pass it. She even resets them all at the end of the semester to try to get a better grade but you can't get any worse than your highest grade so take them a bunch of times! I got an easy B and never opened the book!
She changed the syllabus the day after drop add from 3 papers to 13 papers. That sucks! On top of that she grades very hard on the written assignments. Don't take her unless you like surprises and you like writing papers!
This prof. is ridiculous she makes you write a 2 page SINGLE SPACED essay every other week. It's so dumb. On top of that I emailed her with a problem I was having about something due the next day, and she replied to my email 5 days later and didn't even answer my question. She's 1 of those prof. that expect you to care about the subject bc she does
I thought i would love this class, but i hated it. All you do is read and write. She is a hard grader and doesn't explain why you got points docked. She does let you make up quizes, even though you have a whole week to do em, but if anything serious happens and you miss a writing- you outta luck. I wouldn't reccomend this class
Very generous S/U deadline. Does take a bit to answer emails but with several 500+ student sections conducted online that's to be expected. My only gripe is that I didn't get enough comments back on my writing so that I could improve.
I THOUGHT this would be a fun class to fill my semester and it ended up getting more time then my upper level (3-4000) major courses. A paper due every wk 2 pages not double spaced & she grades so harsh. I get A's on 14 pg major writings but struggle to get b's in this class, makes no sense. 5 hrs per wk spent @ least. Quizes awful! Don't take!
The professor is ok. She lets you take the quiz 2 times & then 1 more time after all the quizes 4m that section is taken. Her writing asgmts r indeed lenghty every 2 weeks but you gotta do them to pass the class. I don't agree wat other people say about grading the assignments. The average on every asgmts was no less than 80% 4 about 500 stds in cl
This class was.... awful. I expected an easy-ish gen ed class, but the professor expects you to care as much as she does. You can't skip the reading for the quizzes. 2-3 page single spaced papers are pointless. I would recommend this class to anyone. sad face.
This class was easy. I ended up with 110%. Scream in every paper that global warming is destroying the earth and you end up with an A. There are also two extra credit assignments, so i think that unless you don't do your work it is impossible to get less than a A. Quizes you can take and just look up the answers while you test.
this class is hard. grades way too hard on the writing assignments...does not give us any feedback on how we should improve!
How to succeed in Snow's class: EXPECT TO SPEND ONE DAY A WEEK DOING HER CLASSWORK and BE AWARE OF ALL DEADLINES SO NOT TO FALL BEHIND. Follow those two things and you're golden.
One quiz and one writing assignment of varying lengths a week. Not at all difficult to keep up with the work. It's easy to forget about an online class, to get an 'a' you just have to dedicate yourself to doing it.
SUCH AN EASY ONLINE CLASS! first one I have ever taken and I thought it was great. The work is not hard. I spent one day a week doing it. Some writting assignments took longer than other but as far as the 2-3 papers? there were only four of those total. I never wrote over 2 pages. EASY grader. and very understanding and would re open quizes.
If you can write, take this class! It all comes down to the writing assignments, if you set aside a day a week you should be fine! She is a so-so grader just make sure you support your details and turn in assignments on time. Easy A
Easy class, but unless you agree with her very liberal politics, you will not score as high as you could. I took her for both oceanography and geology, and all we ever went over was Global Warming. Very dissappointing.
This is one of the most helpful teachers i've ever had. She allows you to retake the quizes a number of times. Before taking this class I though it would be a horrible idea, but now, I am very satisified with it. Once again, she's willing to work with you no matter what...Definitely a good/easy natural science class to take.
This class was very interesting. I am a business major but I like geology! This class was very easy and the teacher is extremely helpful when needed. I would recommend this class to anyone!! Just keep up on your assignments and do good on the quizes. Don't blow off the writing, actually do them good and you'll be fine!!!
The comment right below is mine for another class with this teacher. I love this teacher! The class is extremely easy, just like the other class, do your quizes each week and do the writing assignments, actually try to do them, dont just write random stuff. She is extremely helpful if you do what you are supposed to do!! THIS IS A MUST TAKE
I don't get the boring issue. The class required reading the assigned chapters and doing the quizzes and chatting as a group 1 night a week. If you can keep a schedule you will get an A. Dr. Snow responed to me very well. I knew nothing of the subject, left well informed, but it was my choice to learn something.
This class totally blows! Sure it's easy but if you ask me, a two-page SINGLE SPACED paper once a week plus a quiz is a little too much to ask for this kind of class. If you just stay on top of everything and are a good B.S.-er you should do fine. I personally didn't get anything out of it.
Supereasy online class. BUT I had issues, 2 of my papers didn't upload right, didn't know til I got the grades 3 wks later, 1/100 and 1/70. She did NOT respond to any emails and "office" hrs is webchat 1 hr once/wk when I work. Would do extra credit but no description! HUGE pain. Really easy A so long as you don't need to talk to her about ANYTHING
Great teacher. Tries hard to make sure everyone does good in her class. If you get anything below an B it is your own fault.
This class is useless. You get points taken off your writing assignments without knowing why. She makes it hard to get a decent grade. I would not recommend her.
The quiz questions are unclear and oftentimes are not covered in the textbook. Her grades on the writing assignments are arbitrary. She does not respond to emails. I would say more about her abilities but she doesn't have any and my comment would be deleted for defaming her. Waste of time and money. Take Survey of Jazz or Issues in Sports instead.
Really easy class. Do all the work and you should get an A. Hit or miss with getting help. Sometimes she is really good at responding to email quickly, and at other times it took a month or more to get a response from her.
THis class was so easy and she doesn't care if you work ahead, so work ahead and you'll have lots of time to do your other course work...quiz and writing pretty easy. No EXAM. Work ahead and you'll get an easy A. Don't wait til the day its due its just a pain if you do so work ahead if you can.
I like this class and it was very easy! easy A!! I recommend!
WOW! This class is probably the best intro oceanograghy class I have ever taken or heard of. This is by far one the easiest A's I have obtained thus far in college and I am a junior, plus the material was interesting, as well as, the papers! Take this class!
I loved this class, but I love writing. If you do not like to write A LOT, or do not write fairly well, I would advise against taking this class. Dr. Snow is great; always responded to emails & to offer help. I enjoyed the weekly online "office hours." I missed a set of quizzes, but even with that, I got an A+ and learned a lot in the process!
I took this class online. Expect 1-2 writing assignments per week (summer C) She takes forever (weeks) to answer emails and then doesn't actually address your question. Her quizzes are horrible. Lots of true/false that are very vague. Some completely contradict the text. You can take them twice, though, and she offers extra credit.
The material of this class is not an issue in the slightest. It's a simple class to earn an A in as long as you complete the work. The teacher however is horrible!!! She won't answer emails which is the only way to communicate with her, if by some slim change she does respond weeks later it's short and rude.
Super easy class. Each week, there is only 1 paper due + a 10 point quiz. 4 of the papers have to be 2 pages single spaced but the other ones are only 3/4-1 page. The writing assignments are very easy. Extra credit is so generous that it made up for all of the points I missed on quizzes and I only did half the EC. No final exam. Easy, easy, easy A.
Like the review below. Easy A+. Extra credit is amazing. You can fin. all of the work ahead of time. I recommend looking over all the assignments to see if you have any problems with them. I say this now because of the time it takes for her to respond. I would ask her questions about papers due months from now so I would get a sure answer.
Class was fairly easy. Basically a quiz a week (8-10 questions, usually straight from the text), and one writing assignment a week. If you just read the material or follow along with the class, the writing assignment is actually really simple. Teacher is not terribly involved as far as communication goes, but does explain work clearly.
On-Line Class, Quiz Every Week. You HAVE to read the book prior to taking the Quiz or you'll fail. 8-10 questions per quiz, but you get 2-3 try's. Papers due every week that are short and easy. Teacher grades very well and is easy to contact. You'll read the whole textbook and learn more than you could have ever though possible about the ocean
Took this class online; it's an EASY A. Weekly quizzes are pretty easy. You can take them up to 3x. Papers are boring but easy to write. She offers extra credit that will definitely guarantee your A. She's HORRIBLE with responding to emails, so basically dont email her if its not life threatening. I recommend taking her.
The class was pretty easy. The quizzes are not too bad. I made a B and I never studied.
Online class. Amazing professor. Rarely read chapters for quizzes and did good. Hard to fail. Lets you redo quizzed 3 times and takes best grade. I got an A with little work!
Good class
