Not bad.

Very Nice, knows da materials. MT is m/c format...really keen in group work.

Sort of interesting corse. Erdos's notes were rather vague and ambiguous. However as a person she's really nice, very 80s motherly seeming, reasonable tests and marker, but you have to read the book to do well in the class.

Extremly easy! Very nice! Her notes r very easy to read. Take her courses if u want an A-

Boring lectures. Easy midterms and final. Research essay on parents migration was tough, 1/5 of the marks.

awesome course and teacher, passionate of her work but is challenging

midterms are easy. don't expect to do your paper overnight and get a good mark

Miss Erdos was very clear and very fair. If you get the chance, try her class out.

her notes are out of wack!! she starts something them moves on and then goes back to the previous topic

She is wonderful and caring person. She is very organized and helpful. She always make time for her students. If you want to do well go to her class and take a good notes and do all your assignments.

katrina is an awesome teacher! she's funny and super knowledgeable...great notes and fun group projects...one of the best langara teachers!

Katrina is a very sweet lady and an alright teacher. Her notes are rather poor and scattered, but if you listen attentively and take your own notes, you come away with excellent information. It's not difficult to succeed in her class if you put in effort and try. A reasonable marker, take her class!

She is a VERY nice teacher, and very helpful. Makes it so you want to go to class and do well

Ms. Erdos is a passionate and sweet women. You will do great if you take your own notes. Don't mis judge her sweetness, though her expectations are very high. Good luck

Teaches fairly well even though notes are brief. Reading the textbook on a regular bases will help you. But she is a very nice person, easy to talk to. Listen in class, she does have some important things to say.

Hard marker, boring lectures, really nice but notes are bad!

She teaches and does not entertain. Good teaching, and not too hard Would take another course with her.

She is a nice person and an OK instructor.

Nice, friendly and if you try you'll pass.

She's a very nice person, and a good instructor. Tests and marking are a bit hard but not unfair. She definately picks favourites so try to participate in class and in groups. Better yet act like a new-age, granola, hippy freak and she'll ace you.

Tests wer sometimes too long

Alright teacher, very nice but her classes are sometimes too boring.

shes very nice, you dont NEED to come to class because she asks people in her class to post class notes online, but it is very benifical to come, her overhead notes make it easy to understand and she is very passionate about the topic so it makes it fun to learn, i would suggest her any day

Wow all this hate. I personally think she's great. Extremely knowlegable about problems and solutions in our environment. Her methods are a bit irregular but what great teacher's arent. Listen to her intently and ask questions if you don't understand something because she is more than willing to clarify. She's the department head for a reason.

She is great, why is everyone so bitter? All you have to do is attend, and if you follow instructions, the material is dead easy. She does go off on a tangent about some things, but she is trying to make the material more interesting.

Wonderful, fair teacher who cares about the material. She seems determined to educate and challenge her students in a fair manner. A steady and kind temperment.

took her resource & enviro management geography class. really nice lady. easy to talk to and approachable for questions and excusable exceptions (extensions?). lots of focus on group coop work and discussions. very passionate about what she teaches. there are many choose-your-own-essay projects that are worth alot of your grade so beware.

overall the class was really boring. attendance is not mandatory since she posts up her notes online. then again, her notes dont help much, so you definitely have to read the textbook if u wanna do good. her midterms are hard. more than half the class failed the midterm. katrina herself is a really nice person. but not a good teacher.

If you go to class and have some interest in the topic, you'll get an A. Very sweet lady, experienced, approachable, and an easy marker. Heavy textbook use, but no names and dates. It's not hard to do very well in this class if you're a good student. It helps to take your own notes to pad out the gaps in her power points.

Her power point notes are more talking point for herself than you.Many old videos,could be more current but good none the less.Participation marks are taken for in class small group writing assignments.Her lectures aren't very clear for note taking & given the amt of material you have to learn, she let us out early all the time;not what I paid for.

I really enjoy her, she doesn't do a whole lot besides simple lecture, but she is very knowledgeable and clear when she teaches. She is very nice when answering questions and has a very pleasant way about her.

She is a very nice lady but the class itself can be really dull. I slept through it literally 90% of the time. That being said I still managed an A-. Other people say she relies on the textbook but I don't remember using mine much (it was a couple years ago). At any rate, if you stay awake and read the book, It should be pretty damn easy!

Really enjoyed her intro level Environmental Geography class. Very informed about the subject. Incorporated a lot of world new. People that are complaining about this class are clearly not very bright seeing as she provides study guides for each chapter of the text book TELLING YOU what you need to know for your OPEN BOOK, online examination. CAKE!

She is a great teacher, very passionate about the topic of environmental geography. I thought the textbook was boring compared to her lectures, She provides study questions from the textbook that are on her tests. Overall, one of the best teachers, and would take her course again if i had the option.

She is a great teacher and very passionate about the subject. She explains things very well and makes it easy to understand. Make sure you read the text even though she says its not that important! There will be questions on the midterms that she doesn't discuss in class. Really nice person. I really recommend her!!

Really nice lady. Textbook is absolutely mandatory, and compliments her lectures. They can be a bit long and boring sometimes though. Clearly loves Geography. Really approachable and doesn't mind giving help when needed. Highly recommended.

Very friendly woman. You can tell that she is passionate about the subject. Many opportunities to do well and reasonable with marking. Lectures can be somewhat boring at times. Text book is MANDATORY.

Super nice lady, shes very approachable and is a very fair marker. As long as you put in effort into your answers and prove you're thinking critically on the subject she'll give you extra marks. Keep up with your readings!! super important. Good intro to geo if you're considering it further.

Very nice and approachable teacher, she is fair and is very organized with clear guidelines for tests and final. Great intro to Environmental Geography.

She is very organized and thorough with notes, shes super nice and easy to approach and its nice that she basically sets you up for all the assignments/essays/quizzes & shes a super fair marker as long as you put in effort

She is very nice. However, all of the quizzes and test contain really specific question that don't really test your knowledge but whether or not you read EVERY SINGLE WORD of the text. Her notes are not posted online but you don't really need to attend class just read the text, 15% of her lecture was tested the rest is from the text.

Very very nice teacher! Easy marker I would say, considering I half-assed my essay and still got a high mark :).

Katrina is real nice, very Canadian. The actual material in the class is boring but she adds really nice personal and relevant personal information. Go to class because she tests equally on the textbook and her own material. I put very little effort into my term essay and I got an A so she's an easy marker.

Katrina is very good instructor, she is very specific and will give you good feedback on your work.

Her lectures are not very helpful when it comes to examination times. However, I have learnt lots in her class, she is very kind and caring to her students. She explains the format of tests very well, and is always there to help you if you have any questions. Her office hours are also very helpful, I am not scared of asking her questions. Very open

Katrina is a fantastic professor. Her lectures can be dull at times but that's just the material and she does her best to make everything as interesting and engaging as possible. She really has a pssion for her subject. Recomended.

Overall a genuine person. gets off-topic really fast. Lectures are super slow but I love how she tries to initiate discussion. This class is so easy if you actually read the textbook and do her review questions + global casino website questions. This class should be called Environmental Issues in Global Perspective instead of Environmental Geog.

Really nice teacher, tries to make things easier for you and she wants you to do well. We had weekly group quizzes which were easy marks. She explains the concepts really well.

Great Prof. Weekly mini tests that are easy, attendance is 10%, found the midterm and final very easy. Don't know my final mark but i've got 96% without the final (75% of my grade). The exams follow the quiz style, study the text book, know specific examples and you'll ace the test. Super friendly and nice prof.

Really nice Prof. LOTS of reading in this class, and the textbook software is really old and slow. Weekly quizzes easy so long as you read, you need to participate in the discussions to get a good mark on them. 1 research paper,1 midterm and 1 cumulative final, but she gives review questions which is really useful. Finish them, and you'll be fine.

I really enjoy Katrina's classes, she's a nice lady. Attending the lectures wasn't really necessary as she provides the recorded slides, but the midterm and final are based almost entirely on the lecture material. She provides study guides which are very helpful. It is easy to get good grades in her class if you use her study guides.

I found the in-person portion of the class was not really necessary. All new material was online and In-person was just group quizzes and going over that quiz. Group quizzes aren't worth that much and she gives extra credit for other things that can offset the mark. The textbooks are hard to read and there is alot of reading. She is an easy grader.

This was a mixed module for me, I found that the in-person portion wasn't necessary. She is quite passionate and very accommodating.

She has her own way to judge. She is always ready to help. I recommend you to take her GEOG 1155

Katrina has a wealth of experience and knowledge! She certainly knows how to teach this course in way that students can absorb. It could be a challenge to conduct the class online but she managed to put it together! The topics we discussed are sensitive but she would never dismiss anyone's opinion.

The tests and exams heavily rely on the textbook, group discussions are common in this class, and there is an in-class research essay. As long as you read the textbook and take notes, you should be fine as the exams are open-book, while the quizzes rely on memory. Katrina is also approachable as she is kind.

Katrina is such a sweet and lovable teacher. She does tend to ramble a little bit and may only get through a few slides in the class, but she won't test you on what she doesn't teach. Refer to the textbook to do the guiding questions, as most of her tests and quizzes are based on it. She is a very kind marker. 2-5% deduction for late assignment.

Katrina is an amazing teacher and I would give her a higher rating if I could. 10/10 would recommend

Great class, great prof!
