Easy class! Do the assigned hw and you'll pass easily. Very nice woman, very sweet and excited to teach. Helpful and clear.

she drops one exam, one pass fail assignment, and one assignment. There is always a chance to get an A...

Took it over summer.Professor was awesome and on top of her game.Provides every opportunity for your to earn an A.Extra credit in every module assignment.Take advantage and just do the reading and discussion boards along with the other assignments.Communicates with you also.

Take this class for your online science and society credit - Every 2 weeks you post a discussion board and then read 2 postings of other ppl and rate them The second week you do a google map posting on a country you choose, you have to write a short reflection and a quiz. Extra credit each module. Easy if you aren't lazy - drops lowest module score

This has to be one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. The assignments can be like busy work, but it is typically easy to find the information. Provides plenty of opportunity for extra credit...overall, a piece of cake. I would definitely take a class from her again.

Took the class online and got an A. Everything is straightforward and workload requires hardly any reading at all. Make sure to have your book out for the quizzes because everything is related to the pictures and text and is very easy to navigate through if you have a pulse. It was just as easy as MUS354.

Best online professor I have had at ASU. Fun and easy material; the others have accurately described the workload. Very prompt and helpful when responding to emails. Sometimes she's out of town so can't respond, but she lets you know ahead of time. Sets up in-person office hours. I wish she would do the +/- system because it would be an easy A+.

I got to the final as the last person was leaving and Dr. Saffel was nice enough to let me take the final in her office. Dr. Saffell's class is a breeze if you just show up. Labs are very straight forward. Just breifly review your notes and skim the chapters before tests and you should do fine.

There are only 4 tests in this class, but she makes them very difficult...much more difficult than they need to be for a 100 level Geography class. Attendence is not mandatory and book is useless. Gives a little extra credit.

Saffell is a pretty easy teacher. She gives a lot of extra credit each week so do those and there are 4 exams and she drops one, not including the final. The exams are kind of hard, you should do the study guides for them and just study from them!

I only attended this class a handful of times in the semester. Dr. S doesn't use the text book, but her posted lectures are really thorough. She offers a ton of extra credit, and drops one of the first three exams. Her study guides are thorough - fill that out and you'll do fine. (Going to class is recommended - I was taking 21 credits) Grade: A

Take the online course. I never really read any of the sections in the book but it was pretty interesting. A lot of minor facts that you have to remember from the readings and the pictures are always on the tests. I got an A and really enjoyed this class.

Took this class online. Highly recommend the instructor. Any questions I had were answered in a fast manner, and she would email students times that she would not be available. She was helpful and accomodating. Her quizes are straight forward and you know exactly what is expected all hw assignments are very repetative, and go along w/ the chapters.

Awesome teacher. Taught the subject very well and was extremely helpful when you had a question. Knows what she's talking about and would definitely take her again

Really easy class! Class is very repetitive, so there are no surprises. Lots of extra credit and a great choice if you need a science and society class.

Took it online; easy class. You just have to keep track of what's due every week but it really isn't hard. Choose a big country that isn't hard to find information on to make it easier.

I took this class online- she is a nice teacher, pretty helpful. The class is monotonous- the same things every week throughout the entire course. She does grade pretty strictly, but as long as you follow the guidelines you should do well. And as long as you read the chapters, the quizzes should be aced. Also, extra credit is offered every chapter.

As a CLAS major, I had to take science/society to receive my degree. I didn't expect to like this course but I really loved it. You're able to pick the country you do your semester research on, which is awesome. Prof Saffell is very helpful via email for the online course and responds very quickly. Course grades easy; watch details in book.

Take this if you need to get a science done. She is a really good teacher, but make sure you stay the hole time for the lecture cause whatever she says is on the test. And if you stay to the end she gives you a password to do extra credit which really adds up in the end. No need for a book. Got an A, and i would only study for few hours before test

Very fun class, interesting to say the least. Only counts 3 out of 4 tests. 50 points in extra credit. Got an A

I just finished with the accelerated on-line version of this course. I ended up with 103%. There are quite a few assignments, but she drops the lowest module score. The textbook is WAY necessary, and the quizzes are a little tricky, but there are 5 points extra credit on each module. If you need a Science and Society elective TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!

This online class was definitely much harder and more work than I expected. Instructor requires everyone to not only post discussions, but also participate and rate other discussions. Tests are very involved and require knowledge of the reading material beforehand. Do not take and expect to skate by.

If you want an easy science class, take her for sure! The tests aren't difficult if you study a little. You don't need the book at all. There's no homework, only exams and you can drop your lowest exam score. There's also tons of extra credit if you go to class. She's really nice, too.

Such a nice teacher. She responds to all emails, tests are okay if you just study the lectures a little, and the topic is exactly what you expect. Need to attend lab to pass class. Overall, I would definitely recommend her.

She is a very nice teacher. Attendance is not mandatory but go to class to get the extra credit word at the end because those points really add up. Don't buy the book and study the lectures for exams. Pretty easy class. Make sure you attend lab because that grade counts for your overall grade.

A very nice, sweet teacher that tries her hardest to make the class interesting. The class was huge so there was often trouble with hearing her but she tries to interact with students instead of talk at them. She pauses during her 3 hour lecture and asks if we need a break. She gives extra credit at the end of every class. Valuable stuff!

The class itself was not very interesting but the professor did a very good job of making the material as enjoyable as possible. Much work is necessary to succeed in this course but everything is organized into modules which made it much more feasible to keep track. Recommended but not if you are in search of a easy A.

This class is extremely easy. It's online, so make sure you're aware of due dates. Saffell is always available for questions and responds promptly. Quizzes are easy, and some answers can found online. A lot is common sense. Discussions are easy. Extra credit offered every week. Taking this class to boost my GPA. Totally worth it.

Her class is so easy, just do the review before the tests. You can get an A, if you review her PPT before the tests.

Great class, she's a nice person and i found her lectures to be interesting. only thing is her voice is very soothing and in an evening lecture it put me to sleep many times. If you have her for this class consider yourself lucky!!! i regret getting the textbook for this class, you don't use it.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Saffell. This is my second class I have taken with her in the past year, and her teaching style is great. Seven-week accelerated course, with extra credit offered in each module. Assignments are the same each week, making it easy to keep up with. Tests are HEAVILY based from the text. Really interesting course and textbook too

Great professor! She is passionate and knows her stuff! Im not any kind of geography major and i did great in both the lecture and lab portion. She gives extra credit at the end of every lecture. The lab is easy and normally only takes about an hour.

Took this class over the summer to fulfill one on my requirements. She made the class very interesting and I enjoyed taking it. There is a testquiz each week along with a discussion post and a short report. She also gives extra credit in each module! Very easy A!

Loved this class. Wasn't sure what a class called "Extreme Weather" was going to be, but this was great. You can take it Session A or B and it's online. There is a group reflection, then you reply to someones, take a quiz, and report on an extreme weather. There is also extra credit each week. That six times plus a final report and you are done!

Pretty easy class. She holds optional study sessions before exams and if you go to those it's very easy to do well on the tests. She literally tells you whats going to be on them.

Easy "A" class !

Very interesting and easy class !

Super easy class. Take this for your natural science. Attendance for the lecture is not mandatory even if you want to get a good grade on the tests. I missed 2 out of 3 lectures related to a test and I still got 100. Everything that you need to know is on the study guide. Just learn memory tricks because the tests are mostly knowing definitions

Nicest and most caring professor. She gives extra credit at the end of every class. If you show up and study for the test you will get an A. she doesn't give +/-. Lectures are long, but the grade you get is worth it. She drops the lowest test score out of 3, but there is a fourth final that is mandatory. Make sure you get a good lab instructor.

Easy class! Organized class into 7 modules with 5 pt extra credits in each. Tests not hard ( have lectures on tabs and book to look at). 2 chances to take quizzes so you can fix questions if they show up again. Final is from quiz questions. Didn't listen to any lectures or read and got 100% on all modules. I ended up with over a 100% in class.

Easy A class. Only 4 exams, no homework. Extra credits every week. Study guide is very helpful before the exams.

I took this class online. One introductory assignment, a final exam, and 7 modules that run for about 2 weeks ( but she drops your 1 lowest module score). I failed 2 modules because I forgot to finish them, and still earned an A in the class. I didn't buy the book - I just googled it for the glossary since you need the vocabulary words.

I took it in class. She was really well prepared to teach everyday. She speaks her subject endlessly and are not like others who depend on group projects to fulfill their lectures. The subject has a vast area to cover, but planned out good and you get to learn stuff! I would definitely take another one of her classes again! She has a lesson plan!

This course requires a lot of work and effort. So, if you work hard, you can easily get an A+.

Great Great teacher, we loved her, she comes to class wanting to teach and enjoys her subject. she has very nice pace not too fast and not too slow but just right. the best teacher at ASU

Very interesting course. The textbook is easy to read and understand. As long as you do the reading and assignments, its easy to get an A in the course

Lectures are so long, but she's a very passionate and sweet person who cares about what she's teaching. The only bad part of this course is the labs, but she has no control over that.

super easy online class. 2 weeks to do every module, so there was 7 modules i believe. Each module contains doing a key term post, an easy quiz that you can find all the answers in the book by looking it up in the index, and one other 300 word post about a country you choose for the entire semester. super easy!

Took GPH 267 with Dr. Saffel and highly recommend her. Assignments are not very difficult and you are given plenty of time to complete them. Even offers extra credit for each module so it is almost impossible to fail.

Very fun class, and overall really easy. Great choice especially for a Science in Society credit.

Erin is very sweet and encouraging. Small group project but rather easy grader. ApprenNet videos were fun and engaging. Look forward to taking a more challenging class with Dr. Erin

This is a great class for fulfilling the CLAS credit. Very easy class, one module that lasts two weeks, it consists of two post, responding to others, and a quiz, and extra credit! The quizzes are easy if you have the book in front of you, and there maybe one or two questions from the lecture but could look up. Very responsive to email. Take Her!

I took Erinanne for GPH 111 and she was a great teacher. The lectures were long, but that was because it was a 3 hour long class. You can tell she's very passionate about her subject and cares about the students. She gives a password out every class for the extra credit. The tests are long, but super easy if you study.

Go to the exam reviews!!!!!! For the first 2 tests I didn't go to the exam review and I got D's. For the third test I went to the exam review and got an A!

Taking this class for my labs science was the best choice I ever made! Saffell is enthusiastic about geography and deeply cares about her students. The material is WAAYYY more interesting and easier than chemistry or biology or physics, and partly because she makes it so interesting. Geography is life-applicable, which i love. Also NO TEXTBOOK!!!

Interesting class - one quiz per week, one DB per week (not required to reply to others,) and she offered extra credit each week (worth 3 points) DO THE EXTRA CREDIT IT IS SO EASY. She said textbook was mandatory to pass but I haven't opened it once, don't waste your money. Overall, workload is average and she is kind and a fair grader.

Hands down the nicest professor I've ever come across (and probably will ever have). Dr. Saffell is one of the sweetest people I've ever met. Before every class, she goes around asking every student how they are, what music they're listening to, if they're understand the material. AND SO MUCH EXTRA CREDIT. You almost have to try and fail this class

Dr. Saffell is one of the nicest professors I have ever had in my 4 years at ASU. Her lectures are long because of the class period but it is definitely worth it. You can tell she really loves her job which is awesome. Study for the exams, go to the review sessions, no hw, lots of extra credit, if you do not get an A you didn't study well.

Great class to take for literacy credit. Every 2 weeks there is one module due. first week is a discussion post, then the next week is you respond to a post, do a weather report, and a quiz. There is a midterm and final report that are due. Class is pretty manageable and is interesting. Take any of her classes if you can!

For this class you only have a few things to do. At the start of the class you pick a country and for each week you'll write a roughly 300 essay on your country and what we're learning about that week (i.e. water quality in your country). Then there is a 20 question quiz each week and extra credit which are really easy points

Dr. Saffell is an incredible professor! Her lectures are long; but, they grab your attention (and she gives a break or two). Attendance isn't mandatory, however, she gives extra credit quiz passwords in them which really help you out in the long run. Tests are easy if you study, attend lectures, and/or go to review sessions! 10/10. TAKE THIS CLASS!

The only reason to show up to the lecture is to get the extra credit password at the end of the lecture. If you study at home with her study guides in lectures, you're bound to pass. I did not want to take another science credit but this class was an easy A. I never got below an 90 on any of her tests. Highly Reccomend.

One of the nicest professors I've had so far. Always friendly and willing to help. The only grades are three tests plus a final. She drops the lowest test score and gives extra credit at the end of each class. The lectures can be kind of boring but are important to go to if you want to do good on the tests and receive extra credit.

Very nice teacher who is very knowledgeable on the subject. She does alot of research work by sending up weather balloons, etc. which is very interesting to hear about. Very straightforward. Show up and give her the effort and you will love this class and get a good grade. My lab was fun also.

6 quizzes and case studies but lowest score is dropped. Quizzes can be taken twice. No textbook and all lectures have been typed out in PowerPoint format. Final is 50 question test taken once. Extra credit every week. She opens all the weeks so you can work ahead.

Get's back to emails really quickly if you have any questions. She makes her class expectations VERY clear making it easier to make an A in the class. This class has put a lot of things in perspective for me as far as living a sustainable life. I would take all of this professors classes!

Amazing Teacher. Honestly, if you need an easy and informative upper division GPH credit, this is one of the easiest ways to do it. No textbooks. Extra Credit every week, and you can retake a quiz once if you don't like your score. All units are unlocked so you can work ahead (I finished 4 weeks early). I studied minimally and received an A easy.

Set up for success. Follow the directions and the example case studies. Take the lecture PDFs, combine them into one and CTRL Find for key terms and ace all quizzes. I gave minimal effort in this class and got a 105. The stuff was also interesting to me so that helped.

Great professor. Makes expectations very clear from day one. 1 weekly quiz, case study, and extra credit assignment each week. It really only took a couple hours each week to get the work done. The case studies were actually interesting and informative. Easy A.

LOVED this course and professor. She has clear grading criteria and gives you a weekly opportunity for extra credit. Each week has the same template with a DB, lectures and a quiz. Watch her lectures and take great notes and you will do fantastic. She is a true gem. Highly recommend!!!

10/10 highly recommend. You learn a lot without having to try to hard. She's a great lecturer. It's a one-day-a-week class so while she doesn't take attendance, you should still go. You miss a lot if you miss a day, but her lectures are all online and you can make up the info by going to the lab. It's great for an easy lab science.

Great professor! She made her grading very clear and assignments only took about 4 hrs/wk to complete. Very easy to get over 100% due to the extra credit. Doesn't offer A+'s but still a very easy A.

Great online professor I was contemplating taking this class for an elective at first and I don't regret my decision. This class is a great GPA booster!

if you need a CLAS SCIENCE course, take this one, only 8 weeks and super straight forward and easy, and INTERESTING

Super easy class. Extreme event, analysis, quiz, and extra credit each week. I usually knocked it out in a couple hours no problem. Session B course and definitely a GPA booster.

I took this class for a science and society credit for my degree. It was very interesting and I was usually able to get all the assignments due each week in about an hour. The tests were a little difficult but that was because I didn't spend too much time on the lectures. Either way I still got an A. Also no textbook!

+/- system, theres a ws, 500 word essay, and test due every saturday. theres even extra credit. the tests are from lecture and the transcript from the lecture are pretty good notes so you dont even have to take any. great gpa booster class!

This is my second course with Dr. Saffell and I do not regret it. This course is straight forward and interesting to learn about. Each week there is a quiz, a short essay, a worksheet, and extra credit. She drops the lowest score of each assignment and gives a total of 30 extra credit points. She responds to emails and cares about her students.

This course is an easy A if you do all that is asked. Material is interesting as well. Several extra credit points are given out and the lowest assignments are dropped. I got over a 100% in the course, there is no +/- system.

Took this class to fulfill my science and society requirement. I thought it was going to be super boring but I actually learned some interesting things! There are video lectures, youtube videos and articles you can look through to help you write your papers. Nothing too difficult. Instructions are pretty straight forward, and Dr. Saffell is helpful

I really loved this class and the material given. You can work ahead which is a huge help, especially if your an online student. You have a quiz, case study and a extra credit assignment due each module. Lowest grade of each gets dropped. Take good notes and you should be fine. Advice, write more on the case studies to not lose points.

I took this class to fill a "multi-cultural" requirement toward my degree. I couldn't be happier that I did! The class material was interesting, the professor sent out lots of reading material (for pleasure reading outside of class). Weekly quiz, case study and extra credit opportunities. I definitely recommend this instructor!

She helps students understand the material and wants them to pass. There was extra credit every week as well as study sessions leading up to her exams where she explained everything that would be on the exam.

I took this class for my minor and it was surprisingly really interesting. There is a quiz, a case study, and an extra credit assignment every week for six weeks and one final exam. The quizzes are not hard because you can use the PowerPoint notes (provided as pdf's) and the extra credit is easy. If you do everything, you will get an A. That simple

You have lectures, readings/concepts, case study, quiz and extra credit. In that order, every week! Stable class with not too much work. I could get everything week done in a day if I worked hard enough. Case studies are a lot easier than they seem. If you like the way she does this class, def take another from her.

Erinanne is the kindest professor I have had so far at Arizona State University. She is there for every single one of her students and wants your to succeed no matter how many students are in the lecture. Her class is based off of exams only but she gives a lot of extra credit opportunity. I would take her again in a heartbeat!

This class is wonderful. Every week, there is a quiz, a case study, and extra credit. As long as you watch the lectures and do the case studies, you should have no problem getting an A. The final is cumulative, but you can use notes (which she provides as powerpoints). Sadly, no +/- scale so you still only get an A if you get over 100%. Take it!

She is a really nice professor. Four exams. The final exam is mandatory. The lowest grade can be dropped for the first three exams. You can teach by yourself. No textbook needed. Extra credit will be offered during the class (quiz, but they are easy). 10% of the total grade is the Hazard/Risk, which is pretty easy to get the full grade. No + or -

Professor Saffell was great and I really enjoyed this online class as it was actually very interesting. As long as you complete all the case studies and do the quizzes which are fairly easy, this class is an easy A! Take this class with professor Saffell!

I loved this class. Saffell is very organized and her lectures are perfect. You'll have a case study, quiz and extra credit every week. Do all her lecture and watch the videos and you'll do fine.

Up to four lectures to watch per week but they top out around 11 minutes each MAX. She has lecture notes too so definitely listen to the lectures but control+F is your friend in those lecture notes. Case studies are easy as long as you put thirty minutes into them. Two tries for every quiz but the questions will change from first attempt to second.

Interesting course with a reasonable workload. I recommend speeding up the video lectures and then using the transcript notes for assignments. Great online professor.

Take this class if you need an elective. I learned so much. There is a lot of writing. The class is not hard but you have to put in the time. Both the professor and her TA were very quick to respond. They both want you to succeed and are so willing to help. You just have to ask. I made an A.

Wonderful professor but this class was not as easy as I expected. Exams are a majority of your grade but she does have study sessions and really cares about her students

Literally the easiest upper-division class I've taken. No discussion boards (i hate those) The weekly case studies can be annoying, but they're not difficult and she drops the lowest one if you want to skip a week. Weekly quizzes are a breeze as she gives you transcribes powerpoints. The final exam took my grade from an A- to an A+.

Such an easy class and also interesting! weekly quizzes with two tries each (transcribe the powerpoints and use ctrl+F), weekly simple worksheets about any extreme event. weekly analysis essays were kind of annoying but word count is fairly low (500-600). easy grader so put in a little effort and an A is guaranteed. professor also cares a lot!

Didnt use the textbook so dont buy it! She is really passionate about the subject and I loved how organized her online course was. I wouldnt think there was a way to make the class interesting but she definitely knows how! Really liked course. If you are trying to find a G credit PICK HER CLASS

Im a international student but I made A+!! If you are good at memorizing you definitely get A+ Please attend every session. But you dont need to take seriously. You can learn through canvas lecture videos. Before exam please watch the video carefully so that you can get A+ Easiest class ever I had.

This was such an interesting course! It was basically all about our environment and what we as humans are doing to impact it. The material is very straightforward and the quizzes represent it accurately. Make sure to take THOROUGH notes because it will help so much come test time. Overall a very interesting course and she is a very fair professor!

All late assignments accepted(might've been b/c of Covid-19 Pandemic) and 2 attempts/ quiz. All information can be obtained from lectures. Online session B. I learned a lot in this course about natural resources

Dr. Saffell is incredible. I started off horrible on the first exam and contacted Dr. Saffell immediately. Within 24 hours later she reached out to me, explained how to go about the course and gave me tips and tricks. I ended the semester with an A+. If provide quality effort, work, and time in this class you will have no problems. Take her!!!!

I love Dr. Saffel. I wish i could have her for every class .

Dr. Saffell is amazing! Her lectures can be long, but they are packed with information and the quizzes are pulled straight from the lecture (so take good notes). I highly recommend her to anyone. This course had a weekly lecture set, case study, quiz, and extra credit opportunity. It was probably one of the best classes I have taken!

Six modules, each has an quiz (easy, three attempts), a worksheet (easy, fill out info about a weather event) and an essay based on a given prompt (lengthy, more time consuming, but still pretty easy). You have to do every quiz, but for essay and worksheet, you only have to do 3 out of the 6, so very little work overall and very easy A.

Knocked this class out in a week. Pretty simple material and you can use the notes on the quizzes. One of the better science and society courses offered, it was a lot of interesting material and it was a fun class

Dr. Saffell is amazing! This class is extremely well organized. Each module is lectures (with PDF transcripts for download), a case study on Yellowdig, a quiz with 2 attempts, and an extra credit opportunity. She drops the lowest quiz too. There's a lot of extra supplemental readings that aren't required or used on the quiz. Take this class!!

Honestly, this class was super easy! Weekly, there is a quiz, extra credit and case study assignment which can be done quickly. I finished this course in three weeks and was my first time taking an online class. I recommend people who have to take a G course to take this class! Also, the teacher is super chill and posts random articles to read.

I made an account just to talk about how Dr. Saffel saved my GPA by allowing me to turn in the class's final exam late for full credit. While I'm sure this is a special case due to COVID times, if that doesn't speak to her character as a professor than I don't really know what else will. 10/10 would take GPH 210 again

I really enjoyed this class. Every week there is a quiz, case study/discussion, and an extra credit. It may sound like a lot, but everything can be done really quick and the quizzes are taken directly from the lecture slides which are transcribed. I highly highly recommend taking this class if you need to take an upper level elective course.

The course is pretty much just quizzes and discussion posts. The way the discussion board is graded is awesome! It encourages more engagement and actually feels like discussions, not just posts for points. All the quiz material comes directly from the lectures which are laid out extremely well! Would highly recommend this course and professor!!

This teacher is good to take. Her quizzes are good and she drops your worst score and you get to retry each quiz three times however they are timed. Her essays are laid out on how she wants you to do them. Her lectures are interesting and easy to follow. I enjoy this class.

Solid choice, her GPH 267 course is interesting and she doesn't require you to buy a pricey textbook.

Class was very interesting, no textbook, and she offered a lot of extra credit. My only complaint is that her voice is very monotonous, which made the lecture videos hard to get through. Thankfully, I never had to watch any of them because she uploads them in PDF with a transcript. She gets a 5/5 for that reason alone!

I highly recommend taking this for an easy elective. The only assignments are 5 Yellowdig points that are graded strictly on completion and a weekly quiz. The quizzes come straight from the PowerPoint slides and you get 2 attempts. You have time to go back and look up the answers. Lots of extra credit available. Easy A.

This was a very simple class, but in a good way. I ended up learning more than I thought I would going into this course. There were 15-40 minute lectures every week, but there was also a transcript of the entire lecture available for people that prefer to read. 3% of extra credit by watching short youtube videos. All in all a fun and easy class.

Dr. Saffell is a brilliant person and communicates lectures extremely well with multiple examples. All you do is take notes in class, be sure to review what is discussed after each class. Exams are all multiple choice, and she does not believe in Lockdown Browser. She truly wants every student to succeed - take this class for an easy science credit

Professor Saffell was always enthusiastic about the material. Taught it well, and provided extra information for our own benefit. Try your best and you'll pass easily.

If you need a lower level lit, this is the class to take. Every week is a discussion post, a quiz on lectures and a open answer test on a website. Very easy class to grasp onto. Her lectures are short youtube videos. If you need a class to get that credit for, take this! Also, it has a text book listed, but you wont need it. I never even opened it.

This class was an easy A and the professor did a good job at explaining the topics in this course. I like how the course was run, it was very organized. The class if very easy all you do is a discussion post, quiz, and a short answer quiz. The course materials were interesting and I always enjoyed posting and reading about weather on yellowdig.

Professor Saffell is the State Climatologist for Arizona, and is extremely knowledgeable about the subject she teaches. The class is easy, and she doesn't grade harshly. The 4 exams we took in this class were all online and open note, so the class wasn't difficult at all. I didn't even show up to a single class in the last 2 units and got an A.

A very pure teacher who truly wants you to succeed, and will give you any help she can to achieve that. Tests were open note and completed at home. If you are struggling with a topic, she will assist you one on one until you understand. She also knows her stuff, and will answer any question you throw at her.

Class was very organized and due dates were clear. She was able to teach the information without the class becoming overly demanding. Great class, fun topic to learn and inspirational to continue learning this subject.

This class you can learn great information. If you just do the work you can get a good grade.

She's such a warm and fun professor and super supportive of her students! On top of that, her and the TA are so helpful. Definitely watch her lectures and any materials she has on canvas. The topics of this class focus on the physical earth processes such as natural disasters. If you think this focuses on capitals of the world, you're wrong.

Easiest class. Total 6 quizzes and 6 story maps, lowest score is dropped. Each week yellowdig posts. Three attempts for each quiz. You can get feedback on your story map answers before submitting and get easy A+

I've taken GPH 210, 381, and 267 with her. I love her and the classes are super easy. Would recommend! Clear guidelines and she responds very quickly too if you ever need to email her.

I enjoyed her classes. I took her for a summer course and it wasn't stressful like past experiences. She doesn't do homework, she just gave quizzes (they were open notes), drops the lowest quiz grade, and also allows extra credit for each module. The quizzes you may retake up to 3 times. I would take her class again if I have the option.

I am taking it at the moment. I can already tell that I will get an A. I am taking this class to boost my GPA. Lots of extra credits. There are 7 quizzes (lowest is dropped, 2 attempts, open notes, 45 minutes for 20 questions), and a final exam (120 min/50 questions). You can find all the answers either in her lectures or the powerpoint slides.

Easiest class. There's 4 assignments (lowest dropped), 3 exams (lowest dropped), and a final exam. Exam questions are from lectures and, if you take detailed notes, you could easily get full points for every exam. Lectures aren't painful to sit through. If you want to work in this field, she offers a lot of opportunities to get started.

The easiest class I have ever taken, the weekly assignments take probably 1.5 hours to complete. Unlimited attempts on quizzes. The written part of the weekly assignment is 1 sentence answers. Got a 100% in this class. 10/10 recommend. one of each type of assignment is dropped if you do well in the other ones you don't have to do the last module.

Great professor who is clearly passionate about what she teaches. Class is extremely easy, but very lecture heavy, which gets boring at times. There are 4 assignments and 4 tests total and the lowest grade for each gets dropped. Attendance is not mandatory.

Literally the easiest class you will ever take. I didn't even take the third test and still got an A. It is structured like a fifth grade science class .

Prof Saffell is the nicest professor I have ever had and her class is so easy. It's mostly lecture, but she makes it interesting, especially if you already are interested in phys. geo. She is really passionate about the topic and asking questions is easy! Exams are also pretty straightforward if you show up to class, though you don't have to.

This class was 6 weeks and I maybe spent a total of 3 hours on it. Weekly assignments that are an automatic A as long as you do them. I got a 99% in the class.

Half a semester class but very easy. 3 assignments each week for 6 weeks and drops the lowest grade for each type of assignment. She makes the material interesting to learn and is clear about what she wants from each assignment.

Very good prof. lecture heavy, yet all info is found in canvas if you dont feel like showing up. only 4 hw projects and exams. all exams are open book so if u have half decent notes you are chillin'. knocked out quite a few chess matches with friends during lectures and still had my best grade at asu in this course. 10/10

This class only consisted of six quizzes and a final, all of which can be found in the lectures. The questions were a little tough, but word-for-word if you study the lectures. The final is all questions pulled from the quizzes. Extremely easy A. The only minor nuisance if anything was having to wait for the final to unlock further in the semester.

Super sweet woman and very passionate about weather, geography, and science. She will send lots of emails and provides opportunities to get involved outside of class with the field. Very lecture heavy, but there's a note taking guide. Just make sure you write down everything she says. She's very amicable and the lectures can be interesting.

Dr. Saffell is an amazing professor, she is very knowledgeable on the subject she teaches. She clearly cares about her students. For example, I was struggling with a few quizzes and Dr. Saffell reached out to me to ask if I needed any help with anything. She gave me the help I needed and I ended the semester with an A.

Very nice, easy assignments. Spent less than an hour per module for this course. There are 6 modules in the session B. Lowest one is dropped. Quick grading. Storymap and extreme event assignments were 1-2 sentence asnwers per question; around 8 questions for each.

This class was super easy and a great GPA booster. My only minor complaint is that it seems like the TA is overly particular on grading. I would get docked points for minor grammar issues or my answers wouldn't be detailed enough but we are only supposed to answer with 1-2 sentences. But even with that I was still able to get an A.

Loved this professor! Loved this class! Light workload, which seems appropriate for a class that many people likely take for general studies credit. The information was very interesting, which included weekly assignments of watching a few short lectures, taking a quiz, and completing a short answer report on an extreme weather event.

Saffell is 100% your best choice for GPH 111. She is a concise, knowledgeable, and wholesome professor. She does easy quizzes weekly, and if you attend her lectures and take notes the quizzes will be a breeze. For this class, she is by far your best option. Saffell has been teaching this class for years and her slides are well-done.

It's a very easy class. Quizzes are not monitored, and essay quizzes almost always get a full grade. One of each of the three types of assignments is dropped ( one quiz, one short news report, and one essay quiz a week). I finished the whole course in about 3-4 days and I didn't do the last section because I had a 100.

I really enjoyed this class! the professor and TA were great! I was able to contact Dr Saffell outside of class, and she was very helpful, and easy to tell that she is very knowledgeable and passionate about her subject matter. Super easy A, and I learned a lot along the way! I finished the class in a matter of 2.5 weeks! I would take her again!

She makes geography way more easier than it is. She's very lenient and there's VERY little assignments given. She's good at giving lectures as well, and you can tell she cares about what she's teaching about.

Very easy course, attendance is not mandatory but going to class makes the test a lot easier. Never studied for a test the questions are literally straight forward. Very sweet and caring 100% recommend.

Super sweet prof. amazing lectures, and she definitely knows what she's doing. always enthusiastic about each lecture. offers extra credits and exams are manageable. if you want credit, take it. if you genuinely wanna learn something, take it.

Super nice and sweet, she really explains things well in class. Write down her notes and you're guaranteed an A+.

This class is the easiest A+ ever. You could probably skip all the lectures and still pass; however, she sometimes adds answers to her exams in her in person lectures.

An easy A+ class with a super sweet prof. Just attend lectures, take notes, and you're guaranteed an A. unstuck study was also helpful for quick study prep!

An easy A+ class with a sweet, engaging professor. Attendance is a must, but her lectures are worthwhile. Unstuck ai was a game-changer for acing the quizzes.

This professor started my love for weather! Her lectures are outstanding and information-rich for being a short class. All quizzes are open-notes. Lowest of each category is dropped, it's an easy A. There's a very short report each week about a recent weather event from the past year--you only need to describe a few things and back up with sources.

She is a great instructor and caring, weekly she has three short videos and a quiz, a quiz about finding information on a website she gives you, extreme event guided quiz (i really liked these). Follow the instructions on it and put a little bit of energy into it and you could finish the class in 2 weeks if wanted. I wish I could take her again

One word “Best” She will make sure you at least get an A No attendance Easy online exams on canvas Extra credits I took it to complete my Science class credit along with gph 112 laboratory

Overall easy upper elective. You had to write about a natural disaster every week which was super easy (just google any recent natural disasters and write about it). I would 100% take this class again, in fact I'm taking GPH 381 with her this semester.

Really enjoyed this class. She really cares about the world and how different natural events affect us. Interesting & educational. Lots of cool resources provided to succeed in this class. If you fail this class, it means you simply didn't care to try. Fun elective with resources that I will be using in the future. Active and awesome professor.

Easiest SCIT credit ever. Saffell is obviously very passionate about geography and she is very good at making large amounts of info easily digestible. Super easy exams, only 3 easy assignments and 3 extra credit assignments. Attendance is mandatory but she never takes it, and her lectures are pretty interesting and well taught.

If you need a non-major related credit, highly recommend taking this class. Took this class over the summer, the 6-week class can be done within the first week. The workload only consists of 1 quiz and 1 extra credit quiz per week. 20-question quiz and 3-question extra credit (Both not using Lockdown).

Professor Saffell is very pleasant and shows a lot of care about the subject. The class overall is extremely easy, just 2 weekly quizzes and a report on a natural disaster that takes 30 minutes to do.

Probably the easiest class you could take to fulfill the SUST requirement. There were three assignments every week, basically just 2 quizzes and a 6 question report. Professor Saffell definitely made the course content understandable and easy to digest. Could easily finish all the work in a week if you wanted to. Would highly recommend taking.

Very easy class and she seems super cool. She does give students a lot of articles to read, but you don't really need to use them. The class does allow open notes during tests, and there was no final.
