Dr. Blandon-Gitlin is a great professor. She is always fair and available to help you. As long as you go to class and do all of the projects, you will do fine. She offers extra credit and will allow you to re-do a project a second time if you did not do well the first time. No reason not to recieve an A!!!! I highly recommend her.

I recommend 4 students who are able to study & engage w. material regularly. It is a major course so it is held to that standard. Dr. IBG is extremely knowledgeable on what she teaches and she will provide feedback if you ask. She is very supportive of her students. 5 + quizzes, 2 exams, and a writing assignment.

I would stay away from this class if you were taking it online. The structure is very disorganized. You teach yourself all the material. She offers no help explaining the material and hardly ever responds to emails.

Be prepared to log in to the course website every week. If you read, do the activities, and engage with the materail you will do fine. There are quizzes to prepare fro larger exams. Attend office hours for help.

Dr. IBG knows a lot about the topics. You must attend lecture and read the book. You will learn a lot.

Unless you are an excellent test taker I would stay away. It takes her a while to grade assignments but will not accept any late work from students compared to other professors who are understanding of students' circumstances. Told us not to stress out and be anxious but how could we not when paying for a class as hard as this one and failing?

Just keep up with the work. If you keep up it not be that hard. You have to take tests in person. Take as many quizzes as possible to study before the test.

I do not recommend this online class if you need guidance. This class is a read the textbook and learn on your own kind of class, no lectures either. I am a straight A student and got a B- in this class which is not like me due to the fact that this class is taught by yourself. She is available for office hours, but I felt lost in this class.

All there is, is inquizatives as assignments which make it easy to get a 10/10 on it. A couple of quizzes same with exams. Easy questions, very nice professor. I took her in the winter.

Sooooooo disorganized. If you love having a very disorganized system then DO NOT TAKE HER. she's very condescending, never reads her emails, the only way to reach her is her TA. She made up different times for her 3rd exam and lied about it. She never told students about the makeup exam because she never got back to us on canvas email.

If you are taking online I hope you know this class is just inquizitives that leave you teaching yourself. This professor is horrible offline. During the in person exams she will be so distracting and create an unwelcoming space. She is loud cannot sit still as we take our exams. She will also belittle you for making a mistake like forgetting CWID.

This professor doesn't care whatsoever about her students or their success in the class. If you need to reach out to her be prepared to be ignored or responded to passive aggressively. She doesn't contribute to the class. She left during the first in person exam and didn't stop talking and laughing during the second. I don't recommend taking her.

Dr. IBG is very knowledgeable and caring; however, her class is unorganized. The canvas page was so overwhelmed with information that things become hard to find. Be prepared for awkward silence if no one answers her in class question during lecture. Its a 2 unit class with 4 lab reports, a presentation, multiple quizzes, and class work.

For our first exam, the professor left and had the TA run everything. During the second exam, she stayed but talked and made it hard to focus. She rarely responded to emails, and when she did, her tone was often condescending and passive-aggressive. Grading took forever. Overall, not a supportive or respectful learning environment.

Super fast pace, a lot of reading, and heavy topics. I am used to deal with that, but what I did not appreciate was that there was no support at all. No lectures, just all the directions on Canvas and fast curve quizzes and exams. The worst part ... the professor seemed obsessed with students cheating in the class. No encouragement at all.

There is a lot of learning to do. My advice is to attend office hours to clarify anything confusing in text. There are two in-person exams and one optional exam to replace a low grade exam. The material assigned is different from what is found online. I think that is good. I learned a few new things.

Dr. IBG was a very sweet lady for the most part. She gives a manageable amount of inquizitives and readings. The hardest part were the 2 in-person exams. You just have to really study and keep up with the material.
