DON'T TAKE HER!!She is the worst teacher I've taken. She is too busy to teach and nev er pay enough attention on her classes. I got all of my exam higher than 80%(B)but she gave me an "F"

i jiz on this class. she asks exact questions on the tests. if you don't remember an exact sentence from the book word for word you will get the questions wrong on the test. this class is mundane and lifeless because of this teacher's style. now i am going to take another teacher for geography to overwrite my F.

3 Years of attending IVC and she's the worst teacher ever. Procrastinates, grades everything in the end, types up tests the day before, always 15 mins+ late to class, study guides useless, no passion. Tips: write down everything she says. A litte effort and u should get an A. It's just that she's the worst TEACHER I've ever had at IVC.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! IT WILL DESTROY YOUR GPA. HER LECTURES ARE CONFUSING AND DO NOT HELP. HER STUDY GUIDES ARE THE SHORT ANSWERS ON THE TEST AND HER TESTS ARE 60 MULTIPLE CHOICE. SUPER HARD TESTS. DO NOT TAKE UNLESS YOU HAVE PRIOR EXPERIENCE IN THE COURSE

She is so hard...Lots of notes in the class and 15 photo project...also, you need read a lot after class, her final is really hard.if you want to take this teacher, please think before

Poor communication. May be a good class to take in person, but do not take the online class, as the teacher never responds to email and posts exams/assignments late constantly.

As a professor, she needs to be active in keeping her students informed on assignments and she is not. Posts assignments late, never responds to emails. I took her online class so it was hard especially since she didnt give any powerpoints or study guides at all and simple makes you read the book word for word and tests u on it. Dont take her.

She expects you to memorize so much information it is ridiculous. She never responds to emails! You won't know your grade until the class is over and do not even know if it is correct or not! The extra credit is so hard and barely worth anything! She sucks!

this teachers assignments make no since at all the picture essay is the useless assignment because she wants you to take pictures only in orange county so it makes it super difficult to come up with topics

UNORGANIZED. Very poor communication with students for an online class. Almost 3 weeks went by after the end of the semester before she posted final grades. She also posted the final exam and last assignments two days before the end of the semester. Just do yourself a favor and don't take Professor Titus.

No communication with online class. Emails are not responded to. Weekly HW is not posted or accessible until late in the week or 3 days before the due date. The online HW portal is not clear, powerpoint slides are just copied and pasted from book with no further explanation. Makes an already hard and unclear class even harder and more unclear.

Professor Titus never responded to emails and since this was an online class, that made it difficult to do some of the coursework. Powerpoint slides were basically copied and pasted from the book with no other insights from the professor herself, only saw 1/10 of the discussion boards graded the whole semester.

Her tests are hard and unrelated to her study guides, she does let you retake one of the three tho. The syllabus is useless and doesn't have any of the important dates, like the photo project, which she only tells you the due date of in class, so if your late one day you might just miss it like I did. She's rude and is reluctant to help in any way.

Her class is not extremely bad in terms of how she teaches, but she does NOT update grades at all. I don't usually leave reviews, but I thought this was ridiculous. I did not know my total grade for more than half of the semester. Not happy with how slowly she uploads grades. No set schedule in the syllabus either, but her lectures seemed okay.

this class in terrible, this is my first time rating in this website, because of this teacher, she is terrible in grading, which you'll not know what your grades are during the semester. also I have learned nothing in her class, if it was a possibility to get her zero star I would do that.

Do not take her class. It'll save you a lot of time honestly just take geography lab and you'll learn more from that class instead of her. Either way not enjoyable in any way and never inputs any grades while also having difficult test.

terrible professor and incredibly difficult lectures and exams.

just find a different professor or take a different physical science. only take this class if you want a bad time and a bad grade.

save yourself the trouble and the GPA and take a different proffesor

The lecture material is heavily comprised of drawing basic diagrams and learning vague geographical terms. For this reason, the lecture doesn't reflect what you are actually supposed to learn so the only way to prepare for any exam is by reading the textbook. (Exams primarily reflect your grade in the class). Her teaching is insufficient and lazy.

Prof Titus does not respond to emails. She does not update any grades online whatsoever. She is often rude to students who need help with clarification and when asking her a question, she'll often tell you to resort to the syllabus. I am reluctant to ever ask her questions because she is condescending and she doesn't take the time to help students.

Extremely difficult professor that does not post grades. She has a very difficult project that requires you to go off campus. Extremely exam heavy as homework is only worth 25 points. The last 4 class periods consist of the project, remake exams, the Final, and a map quiz, making for a very difficult last few weeks. Take a different professor.

Jodi is a cool person, teaching on the other hand I would have to say otherwise. She only responds to select emails. Her exam dates are never set in stone. Most times when she lectures she goes on a tangent that lasts half the class period and has nothing to do with the material meant for that discussion. Just grab a book and teach yourself.

Professor Titus grades unforgivingly on her exams, and does not sympathize with her students at all, especially on her big photo project. If you have the option to take any other professor, PLEASE DO. I highly recommend that you DO NOT take this professor, as this was one of the most difficult classes I have ever taken. Beware.

Please take another geography professor if you want to save your grade! I never wrote a review on this before but I felt like I had to. She doesnt give you a study guide, but she gives you study questions (which arent helpful at all) your grade is mostly based off your exams. Exams are tough, and so is the final project. Not a nice professor.

Very rude. Doesn't seem like she's there to help. She thinks she's great just because she has knowledge about the subject but definitely doesn't know how to teach it. The book is one of the most expensive things in the library and you need it to pass especially for the picture project at the end of the semester.

Not a nice person. She does not care to help her students given the fact she NEVER responded to any of the multiple emails I sent her during the course of the semester pertaining to questions about exams, the project, and my grade. On top of that, she NEVER inputs anything on canvas. Not even even when the semester is over. Awful professor.

This professor never really went into much detail during her lectures and was not helpful outside of class. Forget trying to get ahold of her by email, you need to physically talk to her if you have a question which I thought was annoying since she told us she replied to her emails. Tests were also very difficult. I do not recommend her at all.

The worst professor ive ever come across, I strongly suggest you avoid at all costs. Very difficult and never inputs anything in the gradebook for the entire semester so you dont know how youre doing. My final grade was a total shock and when I sent her emails to set up a meeting so I could see why I received my grade, she never replied to me.

She never post your grade on canvas, you have to wait until the end of the semester to see your grade. It is really unhelpful and also your entire grade is based on three tests and one ten pages paper. If you fail one of the exams, you basically fail this class. I suggest you avoid her at all cost.

Very difficult professor. It requires you to do a lot of work and is a harsh grader. Tests are very difficult. Getting a good grade isn't impossible, but very hard. She is really nice but just not a good teacher.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS take another course. She gave lecture heavy material, no study guides, you cannot miss the class or else you will miss what she is talking about. If you go into office hours for help she makes you feel stupid because you won't know, but that is what office hours are for, for help. Youll never know what to expect for the test

No way of contact besides office hours as she never replies back to emails and will not show you your grades when asked because they still haven't been graded months after the assignment/ exam. Unnecessarily strict on use of laptops for notes in this day and age. She dumps information and expects that reading the textbook will clarify everything.

Saw reviews, thought she couldn't be that bad, but she is. Doesn't respond to emails at all, assigns things w/no instruction, has zoom meetings & either doesn't show or makes you wait 15 min-hour, barely updates canvas, you never know what your grade is, very passive agressive. If you don't have to, DO NOT TAKE HER. None of the good tags apply, sad

Please do not take her online. If you are taking her summer or fall 2020 or are planning to drop now. She was an okay professor in-person, but she's horrible online. Doesn't answer emails, won't grade anything, hard to get a hold of. Online classes basically turned in to just reading the textbook. Take it at saddleback or find another phys sci.

In person, attendance is mandatory and you must take notes on her powerpoints, examples, and read the textbook. Due to COVID-19, the transition to online went downhill. No Zoom lectures, pre-recorded lectures were recorded until a certain chapter. Random test questions one would only know if you went on a trip with her. VERY hard to get a hold of.

Chapter Reviews every week by giving us questions that you can answer straight out of the textbook(she doesn't teach anything), she added another requirement that was needed on one of the projects the day it was due, and has asked us to turn in a score we got on a game about earthquake preparedness without saying how(she gave 0s to screenshots)

Just don't take it. She is a really bad teacher

Jodi's lectures were long and pointless. She took months to grade simple homework assignments. Jodi often assigned homework with unclear instructions and gave us broken links to websites to complete the homework. She took 3+ days to respond to emails. She's consistently late to her office hours and sometimes didn't show. Lack of effort, stay away.

Material she gives out does not help with tests or have anything to do with them honestly. Not much of a teacher

Slow grader, Unresponsive to emails, No shows and is late during EVERY office hours. Unbearably slow and boring lectures filled with useless information about her own interests and politics that never show up on tests. Jodi is all the worst qualities of a professor wrapped into one :)

By midterm I had massive regrets. Waste of $230 because I bought the 'used' textbook. Waste of tuition monies. Waste of my time. Her online lectures were 40-100 pages/week which cost me 15 cents per page to print at my nearest public library. I will re-take this course at a different college.

I took the online class. Professor Titus doesn't care about this class.

Took the online class. Professor Titus didn't care about this class. It is difficult to learn in this class.

Semester will be over this week, but we have a final and a quiz that she has not mentioned once. I tried to email her about it, but she doesn't respond to emails. Ever. Honestly not that difficult of a class, but there is 0 communication on her end.

Out of four semesters in college, this is my first grade where I'm sure I won't end with an A. Regardless of how much you read and take notes and pay attention to the lectures, the quizzes/exams are set up where an A is very hard. I would not recommend her unless you are fine with earning less than what you have studied for.

Very few assignments, so if you miss/do bad on one assignment your grade will tank significantly. Does not give nearly enough time on tests, so be prepared to rush (I always finish other tests with plenty of time to spare). Very little communication from her. Would not recommend at all. I'm sure there are other easy classes for this subject.

I've never hated a class more than this one. Don't be fooled abt the online format, she makes it ridiculously hard for no reason at all. Her powerpoints are way too dense for a subject like geography which will never help me in the future. Her exams are near impossible w the time limit. This fool wants us to fail, please don't take it w her.

I've never struggled so badly in a class before. The professor flat out does not care. She uses outdated lecture videos which help for weekly assignments, but are a terrible study tool for tests. Also there is a midterm and final, both of which are impossible to prepare for. Avoid her at all costs. Most people in my class failed or barely passed.

So rude, So little patience! She started the class of saying that she would lecture and we would take notes and that was it. No interactive experience, all she wanted to do was hear herself talk. Does not allow you to use bathroom at all during class. Hard to follow. Can not stress how much she talks, does NOT teach. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.

Not good

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! If you do, prepare for long lectures and long note-taking sessions. Very difficult to understand material without rewriting notes and studying for hours. With two classes a week, expect at least 6 hours of studying per week. Jodi Titus does not make lectures at any percent interesting. Don't expect getting an A to be easy.

I literally have never had a worse teacher in my entire life. She is rude and always talks about her cats she needs a life.

She is extremely rude. She doesn't comminucate, doesn't give feedback, most of the time we are walking in the dark.

Very easy course in nature but horrible professor, the multiple choice test questions are nowhere close to whatever we learned in class. For example, unit 1 we talked about the different seasons but then the questions are like "which continent has the most population". Questions is very random.

so unorganized & confusing. none of the announcements show up on the canvas home page and the modules make it so hard to figure out what you have to do for the week. the "lectures" are just slideshows with basic information that have nothing to do with the weekly 500-word discussion posts. if you don't want to write an essay every week, don't take

Extremely unorganized class which makes me question how she is Geog department chair! Doesn't grade anything and she has a lack of communication skills in her online class. Her final project has extremely picky guidelines and is a waste of time. Didn't know geography actually matters!

She needs to grade her students' assignments. I am here, sitting in the final week, and still have not received a grade since the second week of class

Save your money and time The entire class is still waiting for assignments in September to be graded after the final is turned in Don't bother asking for help as it will take her over a week to get back Im not sure how this school still has her as a "professor" Will deduct points for being late but not add credit for being 4 months late of grading

Save your money and time books never used, class is still waiting for September assignments to be graded and posted after turning in the final. Don't even bother asking for help; she will reply when the assignment is past due. Lecture information has nothing to do with the midterm. I am not sure how this school allows professors like this to teach

Jodi Titus does not do well with high school students. The times we didn't have IVC classes, we were overjoyed to not be taught by her. She flaunts all the places she's visited like we care. We do not. I mean, yes, it's impressive and there is a correlation to the chapter, but frankly, she's boring and I can guarantee you'll fall asleep in class.

literally don't know what i could've done to earn an A in this class... you earn an "okay" grade on the midterm, there's no coming back from that. everything was disorganized and she was practically nonexistent

She was very hard to reach and very lazy. The class was not very hard but, it was stressful since there was many ambiguities in the course. She was very unclear when she gave feedback as well. I wouldn't recommend take her unless youre fine with extremely late grading on assignments and knowing your overall grade 2 weeks after the semester is over.

Incredibly boring hour-and-a-half lectures with basic PowerPoint slides. Assignments took weeks to be graded and exams didn't cover the lecture topics. D1 yapper. L teacher

This class is extremely hard considering it is an intro to geography class. She talks way too much. Slides are bland. She is rude. How to succeed is very vague. The final is impossible to study for. Overall this professor is terrible.

This professor is the worst teacher I have ever had. All she does is lecture and doesn't take student feedback into account, and doesn't try to make her class interesting. She doesn't care about her students and the material on the test was often very different from what she was teaching in class. She doesn't grade until weeks later. Horrible.

Terrible teacher. Cannot teach and her tests have nothing to do with the material covered in class

such a bad teacher and person doesnt care about her students doesn't grade until months later overall terrible would not recommend

literally the worst do not take her if you have the option

literally the worst teacher ever do not recommend she doesn't grade until months later i took this class last semester and i still don't know how i did on the research paper overall terribe

I took her class in geography. She put things on the test that she never covered. she never bothered to make herself available for her students and my entire class hated her. She can't teach and she won't try to help you if you need it. L

literally the worst teacher i ever had she never made herself available for her students. she wouldn't bother to help out if you needed it and her hour and a half long lectures were incredibly boring. her tests had material that werent covered in class or the textbook and it sucked. do not take her class ever find someone else

Does not care about you. Does not make it easy to do well in her class. She seems to always have an attitude and is not pleasing to be around. I have not had a teacher do the absolute bare minimum like she has. Do not take her class.

Do not take her unless it is your last option. I took this class online and she did the bare minimum. You have to write a 500-word essay every week about topics she barely explains. The instructions for some of the assignments are so vague and makes them so confusing. The tests have information that are not covered anywhere, thankful for google!

Professor Titus clearly did not care about our class in the slightest. She would hardly grade anything and assign homework with little-to-no instruction outside of what she said in class. The tests were easy but riddled with errors, nearly every test had at least one question that had something wrong with it. Lectures were really boring too.

She was very rude, responded with short unhelpful infromation

I would never take this class again.

She was AWFUL like no help, mean, doesnt care about you as a person. Doesnt want you to succeed

Lectures didnt cover material on test. Horrible teacher do not take

Terrible teacher cannot stress enough how bad of a teacher she is do not take her find another class

So traumatic that I cannot look at a map the same way unbelievably horrible person and does not care at all her tests pull stuff out of thin air that youve never seen if you take her you might as well bid farewell to your sanity and GPA

listen up homies ima spill da whole tea dis prof was on my transcript a bold C and walks around thinking thats right but its cap jodi and i dont even listen to what she tryna say cuz in my mind there aint a time and place for this science i hate but wait what u teach aint science its a pile of waste

Main concerns with the class are in regards to grading and exam content. It was really hard to keep up with my current grade as there was no grade tracking or canvas, nor was there even an excel sheet to see a current percentage grade. Content from lectures and textbook did not accurately reflected questions on the exam.

Lazy. Texbook is super long and readings take over 4 hours. She posts the weekly discussions late and does not change the due date. Every assignment is graded for accuracy. Tests are based on random online activites. Super unresponsive, and you are unable to track your grade throughout the course. Overall if you are good in checking canvas its ok.

This professor is horrible she gives you a study guide that's completely useless!
