Class isn't terribly difficult. All notes posted on blackboard and exercises are simple and straightforward.Exercises do not have relevance to tests though. Not familiar with Michigan area, which leads to questions she asks you. Watch the attendance though, she gets unruly if you leave early!

Easy class. Notes and study guide are easy to follow to make an easy test. Attendance does suck. Hard as hell to keep your interest. Bring a book to read during her class.

Not a bad class, just take good notes (dosen't use book). Be sure to show up, do the assignments and you'll do fine. She give out study guides for tests and notes are on blackboard.

Take good notes and review them well before the test andyou will do just fine. Her powerpoints are over 75% of what is on the test. Good prof.

I had over 100% going into the final and didnt study hard for it and still managed a 4.0 in the class. Anyone who has problems, didnt attend class,didnt use the powerpoint notes,didn't use the study guide.It is very easy if you follow how she set up the class. Exams were extremely easy.

she has a lot of holes in her notes that she fills in with lecture. she does not ditinguich between what is important information and a tangent. she only offers 345 points in the class so it is easy to lose your grade very quickly. i mean lose 24 points and you're at an a-. take grolle.

The tests are about 85% over the powerpoint, other than that, she only assigns around 5 pages to read to study for the tests. Tests are very easy. She always ends up adding a few points afterwards to raise everyones grades. You have to be really stupid not to pass the class.

Puts all the notes on powerpoint. Easy 10 point quizes if you read what she tells you. Do study sheet for tests and they will be easy. One paper that you can turn in more than once. Pretty easy class.

Just do your work, show up and don't sleep. All the complants are from the people that skip or don't take notes. Write whats in the powerpoint then fill in what in the lecture. I enjoyed the class and I would take another class with her if I could.

Easy class, just read the powerpoints and do the study guides for the tests and you'll get an A. You only have to read a few pages from the book for each test. Easy class.

great prof, just study from the book and powerpoints and the study guide you will do fine, also study for the map quizes and quiz and discussion they will help you out in the long run .. take her if you can

hardly study for tests, still did good. go to class, easy grade

I generally enjoyed going to class. The class was not difficult but it wasn't easy either. At last a prof. that doesn't give long assignments that take up 75% of your time! I appreciate that because most of us have other things to do! She is an asset to the SVSU Staff.

I don't care for geography, but the teacher was always there if you had a question. There were 3 exams including the final, 1 (somewhat long) paper and a 5 minute presentation. I managed an A, but I worked hard for it. Out of other geo teachers I recommend her - she was very helpful.

She's an alright teacher. Class is pretty boring and she talks a little funny. The first test was really straight forward but things got a little squirrely from there. It's not too bad for a CI course though. It's pretty practical material too.

Interesting and somewhat easy class...as long as you study for the map quizes and tests you should be alright....I would take another class taught by her..

Dr. Ravuri is a great teacher. She explains everything in detail and test are easy if you study.

She is an excellent professor. Very helpful. She travels and knows what she's about. An A is very possible, but you will have to work for it! Keys to success: Attend classes, study PowerPoints and lecture notes, participate in class and did I say STUDY? .... (not passively)--note card level. You must put forth effort for an A. Really Nice Lady!!

Waste of time class. i was bored the whole time, but made it through with a B+. she does all the powerpoints and if you print them off BB and take notes it is not hard. WARNING: the woman has a speech issue. she can not keep a pace, she pauses odd and freezes it is really difficult to follow.

Uses powerpoints during lecture,and puts them on on blackboard. Take notes, study the powerpoints, and do the review to study for the exams. The class was not horribly interesting.

If you do a half-assed job paying attention in class and do a quick review before tests and quizzes you could probably ace this class without too much trouble. Tests are exactly what she tells you they're going to be. Go to class, she randomly takes attendance.

She's very nice. Easy class, not too much homework, considering it's a CI course. Considering how dull Geography was, she did a decent job teaching it. She takes attendence and gives you an according grade, so you pretty much have to be there.

Class was very boring!!! I had a really hard time making it through the 4-7 time frame. It was pretty easy..just make sure you plenty of caffeine in you before class so you can stay awake!

Class was not that difficult as long as you attend. Take notes on what she says and use your slides for studying and you should be ok. Helps to know real-world examples for everything -- that is the majority of the tests. Papers/presentation was no big deal. Boring, but easy.

She is a great teacher. She hardly ever assigns homework. There are reading assignments that are very easy (3-7 pages tops). She gives quite a few quizzes, but has extra credit assignments. She gives you everything you need to do well in her class.

Good teacher and a really easy class. Just do the work and take notes and you'll do fine. The only ones who fail the class are those who don't want to work for a grade.

This class is not hard. You do have to attend because you do work out of workbook in class and its like 20% of your grade. You do have to write a research paper and give a presentation on it. You also Have to read articles every week and take a quiz. Not an easy class by any means. But it isnt terribly hard either

Prof. Ravuri gives great lectures that show that she knows what she's talking about. The only problem I had with her were the quizzes out of the text. There would be questions that were based off of one little sentence that really hold no significance over the whole chapter.

Lectures can get a little boring, but it's the subject really not her so much. She gives out extra credit throughout the semester and gives a reading quiz from the book once in awhile. Gives points for attendence- would recommend her, she's pretty cool.

Great professor! Lectures are kind of boring sometimes but she tries to keep it interesting and use 'regular' language so you're not lost. Study for the quizzes and tests and you should do fine.

She loves geography, but the course is not easy by any means. She's tough but she tries to help as uch s possible. Bad at emailing back, and a little scatter-brained sometimes. Quizzes are ridiculous:based off of 1 sentence. Tests:study adn you'll do alright.

Her lectures are very easy to listen to and follow, and some parts are very interesting. She really knows what she is talking about. She makes study guides for all the tests which are extremely helpful, and gives 10 point quizzes on easy reading in the book.

Really easy to follow, the work is easy if you just do it. Going to class is easy points. She posts her power points online but I never used them and still got an A. She also gives study guides for all of her exams which makes the exams really easy. She tries to make the material interesting with her personal experiences

Not bad. She's boring, but she loves what she teaches. Willing to help and not a bad person. It was just hard to keep my eyes open during her lectures.

AWESOME teacher, she loves her subject and makes it interesting. Study lectures, quizzes are easy as long as you read what she tells you. Would take this instructor for more classes.

Took for 201 and one of my favorite classes, made me switch my minor to geography! Def need the text book, there are alot of EASY reading quizzes but she'll give you the exact pages to read, usually only 2 or 3. gives extra credit, no essays, no presentations. my next comment will be about essays!

Her exams are straight forward. She gives extremely helpful study guides, that go along perfectly with the lectures, there are 3 and exam is not cumulative. usually gives at least one point per question for effort if the effort is there. Really loves geography and is so sweet!

my fav professor at svsu by far, so easy to talk to, she loves this subject and it really shows which makes you love it more, cares about her students, wants everyone to do well, and the reading quizzes are so easy she gives you the exact pages itll come from usually only 2 or 3 pages. love this professor!

Pay attention during lecture and take good notes. Study for readings quizes, they can be difficult.

She gives you everything you need to pass. Take the Map Quizzes and Reading Quizzes very seriously as they will help your grade out!! Tests are a little difficult so take good notes and make sure you are prepared!

4 Exams (gives study guides) including the final & 6 reading quizzes which are easy. Definitely have to study for exams but she really loves what she does & clearly has a passion for it. She does take attendance. Honestly did minimal study & still got a B+.. just pay attention during class. Exams are multiple choice & short answer.

The most important thing to remember in this class is take notes on lectures! Over half of the test material comes from what she says in lecture, and is often not written on the power points. This was a hard class, but Evelyn is willing to help. Also, she gives you tons of time for the final paper which was great. It's also an easy CI course.

Great professor. Does give long lectures but along with power points, available online. Good at making things clear. Can be serious or laid back/funny. Doesn't take attendance but if you skip, you miss lectures (about 80% of info given in lectures are on the exam). Doesn't care if you sleep in class or on phone as long as you're not disruptive.

Evelyn is so passionate about geography and is so full of knowledge! Her lectures are posted online and she thoroughly goes over them in class. Tests follow the study guides exactly! Some reading and map quizzes but they are easy. Definitely recommend!

Dr. Ravuri is an excellent professor. Anyone that says otherwise either had a bad attitude about the class because of the subject, or would rather be on their phone or checking facebook during class. She's passionate about the subject, and conveys the information in ways extremely easy to understand. It's simple: listen to the lecture.

This is an easy A class if you you just watch the online lectures and take a few notes. The class is set up very well and you know exactly what to expect. Quizzes and tests come right from the lectures and you can take quizzes twice. She posts things pretty far in advance so you can work again. The book was used of study guides so it is useful.

Awesome professor. Super easy course and interesting as well. The online course is set up very well. Quizzes correspond to the video lectures she posts. Exams are half book based and half lecture based. Book based questions are given a study guide. Be sure to take detailed notes during the lecture videos. Easy A. Loved this course.

This online course was very easy. There are short quizzes every week, along with one short assignment. I spent little time on this class every week. She is an easy grader too. If you do the assignment, she usually just gives you credit. Also responds to emails quickly.

Ravuri is a great professor, this is an easy class if you do the work. Each module you watch an online lecture that is about 15 minutes long, then you take a quiz after watching it. Each module has either 3-6 quizzes on it, and there are 8 modules total over the course of the semester with 3 exams. And some easy homework assignments.

I am typically not interested in Geography but she made class enjoyable even if it was at 8:30 in the morning. The tests were very easy, do the study guides and you will do fine. There's 1 paper and a presentation but, she is an easy grader. I would recommend to anyone!

Take this class online if you need 3 easy credits. You have plenty of time to complete 8 different modules through the semester and each are fairly easy. I'm taking this with 17 other credits and am having no problem keeping up.

Class is only graded on sapling website, map quizzes, and easy exams. Is lecture heavy, but powerpoint are on canvas is need to look back.

Very easy class taken online. Easy quizzes weekly and no exams. Two papers graded fairly easily.

Im not sure how she is in person, but I took her online and it wasnt bad at all. It was a very easy class. Quizzes were on video lectures that were about 25 mins long, she makes the answers clear in the lectures too. I would definitely take her online if you have the chance to.

I really liked how everything was set up video wise and a quick quiz after for the majority of the class. There were very few projects and assignments in her online class. The one thing that I dislike about her class is that she gives us 45 minutes to complete 40 questions on the exam. She is very responsive to emails and concerns.

In this semester's GEOG202! there were no online exams, only quizzes with up to 2 attempts. The whole class maybe take an hour or two each week with one bigger (7-10 page) paper and some small discussion assignments. Overall the course was really easy for a communication-intensive, she graded fair and gave out A's as long as you did the assignment.

I took this during summer 2023. It was so easy! No exams, a few short assignments. Just watch videos and answer questions. I would definitely recommend taking during summer, rather than fall/winter. It was even accelerated, but didn't really feel that way.

Professor Ravuri provided clear instructions for the class and responds back to emails promptly. Don't wait for the last minute on the city analysis paper as it is labor intensive and requires a lot of work. I would take this class again; it was very manageable to take with a full class load.

She grades generously and responds to emails fast. No exams, but has lots of quizzes and homework assignments that are really easy. Most papers aren't too bad, but beware the city analysis essay... takes lots of time and is very exhausting. The textbook is a must.

Great if you are taking a summer class. Just pay attention to the lectures and videos and you will do fine. This was mostly quizzes with a few discussions and papers. Take this class with this professor, you will not regret it :) 10/10
