She's basically giving the class away,so easy!
This teacher is wonderful. She makes science intersting and you will walk out of her class with more than you came in with.
Very clear and precise in her expectations. If you take notes and study what she reviews, you will do well. She has some excellent stories from her own graduate school experiences in science. Take the class, you won't be sorry.
Informative and precise. She makes science interesting. Tests are fairly easy, as she prepares you very well. Also had her for ENVS, sorry that she doesn't teach more classes.
she makes the class so easy, always prepared and makes funny jokes. tests aren't so hard and gives students study guides.
great science to take if you are not a "science person!" easy to understand and will not overload with work....somehow made it fun.
Nice lady, crappy teacher. Very uninspired & uninspiring. NEVER MOVES FROM BEHIND DESK. Everything off powerpoint. But some test q' are subjective & even if the entire class gets a q wrong, she won't think it's her prob but ours. Not cool. If you don't want to really get into science, take this.
Pretty good class. Just copy all the notes down and you should be fine.
class to take if you have to have a sceince and want an A class is between 25-45 minutes never longer all powerpoint tests are exactly from pp slides cant miss class or you miss the notes 4hw assigments = 1 test grade gives you esay A tests take 15-20 mins if you spend 30 mins looking at notes b4
Take her and get an easy A. Her tests are exactly from the review sheets. And the class is very short.
This woman has never moved from behind her desk. She is a good teacher, easy and makes class interesting- the tests are harder than you think. I got an A in all high school sciences and I got a C in this class. 50/50 teacher
She is very easy. take her and get an A. Tests are short and straight forward and its also MC.
Very interesting and easy class!Her notes are clear & the info. to study is clearly presented!There are only four homeworks and there easy!There is 1 in class debate and 1 group project!She is an easy grader! Show up to class on time & go to every class & she will love you! She has a really dry sense of humor & speak up if u know your stuff!
notes from overhead. very prepared for class. seems fair in her grading system. if you show up for class and take notes everyday you will have no problem passing with and A
easy A. classes are no longer than 30 minutes. gives study guides for multiple choice tests. easy material you probably remember from high school. best science class non-science majors can take.
she is an awesome teacher. she really knows her stuff. she is very clear and her tests come strictly from her review sheet. if you don't take her your crazy!!
show up and take notes from powerpoint. easy A
Not an 'EASY A" as everyone posts. Perhaps she read them and made the tests more difficult. Trick questions, obscure figures from notes. Definitely study the book even though she doesnt open it once. Homework and projects arent bad though, basically your best chance at keeping a good grade.
She's great, very well-organized and caring person. She will give you lots of extra credit opportunities by posting discussions, also slight curves for every tests. I love the way she teaches and organizes her class. Also, she's very quick responder! Overall, Great Prof. but not that easy. But, still a great chance to get a good grade.
DO NOT TAKE HER! SHE DOES NOT MAKE THINGS CLEAR AND BECAREFUL ABOUT THE PROJECT. SHE SAYS ONE THING AND THEN SAYS ANOTHER. SHE DOES NOT KNOW HER HEAD FROM HER TOES. DO NOT TAKE HER! TAKE SOMEONE ELSE!
DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE! SHE IS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL SHE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT HER STUDENTS BEST INTEREST AT ALL. SHE IS SO UNCLEAR ABOUT HER CLASS SHE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO TEACH AN ONLINE CLASS. SHE IS A BIG WITCH. UGH! :(
STUPID LADY! I DO NOT RECOMEND HER CLASS ONLINE. MAYBE SHE IS A DIFFERENT PERSON IN THE CLASSROOM BUT NOT ONLINE. PLEASE TAKE SOMEONE ELSE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE. SHE GIVES EXTRA CREDIT BUT IT HAS TO BE LONG AND LENGTHLY TO GET SO DO NOT BOTHER WITH IT BECAUSE IT IS ONLY 2 POINTS. SHE DOES NOT HAVE ANY COMPASSION AND CARES LESS ABOUT HER STUDENT
few homework, three mc exams (including final), two in-class projects, and one research project. Exams are 100% based on the powerpoint lecture notes. Reading is optional. Study guide is provided for each test. If take good notes, study hard, and do all the assignments and projects, should get an A easily.
She is very knowledgable and helpful. All you need to do is listen, study and communicate. I wasn't looking forward to this class but she made it fun and interesting. Now I am planning to take her geology class too.
This was by far one of the easiest classes I ever had. I showed up for classes, participated and studied for the tests... very easy A!
funny women, cares about her sudents, grades fair, gives useful study guide...teaches with power point and will tell you what notes to write down....you do not need the book, just study the notes she gives and you'll get an A on the test. make sure to cite all work on the project and easy homework assinments
Ms. Schulte is really nice. I learned a lot from her class and found it to be interesting. She is not biased in the way she teaches - she presents both sides to the story. My only complaint: her exam questions tend to be tricky, so beware!
Mrs. Schulte is a really great teacher; her class is not easy;however, if you take good notes and prepare for the exams, you can end up with an A or a B. There are 5 homework projects to do during the semester; they take some time to do them. She is a very nice person.
she is a hot teacher because her tests are easy, straight from the powerpoints. You need to do 5 hws and 2 project. Be careful cited site...... SHe reviews before test day.
easy class
She's sucks! DO NOT take her. She grade the papers really hard. If you are taking ENV 1401 with her, don't bother to do the discussion board. she said we can get up to 22 point extra credit from discussion board, but she did count discussion board writings as an extra point at the end of the semester.
Mrs. Schulte is plesant and easygoing and knows her material well. While her pre-planning and organizational skills are weak, this tends to work to the benefit of her students, as she will frequently reduce the workload to compensate for missing materials. She is excellent in helping you arrive at solutions if you will only ask for her assistance.
Doesn't give the extra credit points that she said she was giving us. Her tests are very tricky, and this class is a lot of work. Worked very hard for my B. Class is interesting, But not an easy one.
Gives a study guide for each test. Homeworks are straight forward. Projects are fun! Exams are multiple choice and NOT difficult if you study. If you follow the rules for earning the extra credit you get it. I did. Makes topics very interesting. Enjoyable class and not one sided!
I was not impressed with this teacher. When I had a question she seemed rude, and the content was not organized.
Online class. A complete joke. The study guides are literally useless. I'm normally an A student. I studied 10+ hours for each test and got a D both times. And I knew EVERYTHING on the study guides. She takes random obscure info from the book to make the test. Avoid this teacher like the plague!
Horrible online teacher. Takes forever to grade or respond to questions. Tests are hard, homework was easy. Hard grader for research paper.
Terrible teacher Online. Does not communicate with the class. Unfair when it comes to grading. Test extremely hard even if you study and know the material. She Really sucks Stay away if you value you GPA...
STAY AWAY FROM HER. SHE IS REALLY NOT A GOOD TEACHER!!!! ONLINE ENVS NOT A GOOD CHOICE IF YOUR GPA IS IMPORTANT! SHE GRADES TERRIBLE, TEST DIFFICULT, DOES NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THE CLASS ALL SEMESTER. GPC needs to get rid of this uncaring teacher.... :(
Online class a serious joke. Very unfair teacher when it comes to grading. She is a terrible teacher if anyone else thinks different they must be ass backwards like that fool.My advice take anothe teacher or class for that matter...
AWESOME online class. Powerpoints are interesting, helpful, study guide is good but long, very fair in grading exams and projects. Uses announcements to communicate so you must read them. Final was a bit intense but hey, it was a final.
C with little effort. You do have to pay attention to presentations. Only 2 exams not 4 - multiple choice, curves some. Helpful if you ask. Interesting for a science course.
Online class requires you to be organized and motivated. You can work at your own pace to an extent. Make sure you read announcements, emails and everything posted on homepage. Study guides are very helpful, final was 75 ?s, homework is easy, projects were fun. Take online only if you are willing to work a little harder than on campus class.
Very fun class. She is really funny and very helpful, doesn't mind helping with other classes or advising. Really cares about her students and that they do well in school. Made class interesting. Summer was very fast paced.
This class was awesome! She is the most organized professor, and you always know what to expect. Text book was useless, but her powerpoint slides are imperative. You write a lot, but she really enjoys interractions. Talk in class and she'll give you extra points in the end (it's my secret). She also gives lots of bonus opportunites. LOVE HER!
She was great. I enjoyed her class. Very fair.
Excellent professor. Organized, very helpful, excited about subject. Highly recommend her. I plan to take her geology course as well.
Great professor! Great class! She's very helpful and lectures are fun and easy to understand. She's very funny. I would take anyone of her classes again.
LOVED HER!!! Best professor I have ever had at GPC!
Even though I got an A in her class, I still didn't really like her. She has a bad attitude about things. All lecture notes are done through powerpoint and if you miss class its your responsibility to get them from someone in class- I would still recommend her but be sure to be extremely nice to her
She is awesome!! Just go to class and take notes and u will be fine! Homework is easy
Thsi class is perfect for someone who needs an easy grade without having to actually learn anything. She likes to play favorites and has no enthusiasm at all. Easy grade with minimal effort if you stay under the radar.
I thought she was great! Good notes, good study material.
Best science course I ever took. I plan to take her other science courses as well. Lots of notes but makes geology fun...the more you put into a class the more you get out of it!
very nice definitely plays favorites! If you toto class she will round up your final grade if you are within a few points of the next grade. I learned pretty much nothing but it was an ok class. Bad thing is she says one thing will be on a test and then puts something slightly different so you gotta know everything in the end :-/
Took her class online. Her powerpoint voice presentations made it very interesting and involving into a subject matter. The exams are timed but if you study before - its a peace of cake, except the final one - challenging. You have to work on your homeworks and projects in order to get A.
this is the worst geology teacher there is.. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS ONLINE! she was really unorganized which made the class a lot harder than it really is. there was only 3 grades throughout the semester: midterm, final, and assignments. if you screw one up, just expect failing the class. videos in class was a waste of time.. just busy-work too.
I knew how to work Vista, now(ICollege) better than her. She is not organized at all. She gave midterm after the dropping point so if you failed it, which you probably will, you pretty much failed the class bcs its 30% of the grade. So, there is midterm, final and 5 homeworks. Do not take. Very hard. She expects you to know the entire book.
Took online which wasn't so bad. You must read the book and take down powerpoint notes in order to get a good grade on the test. The other assignments were a piece of cake, however, the final was challenging. Got a B in the class.
she's very nice and loves her job, her tests are pretty hard but if you study you should do ok. i did the extra credit at the end of the semester which gives a 100 for a test grade and that helped a ton, her final was easier than any of the other tests
I took Mrs. Schulte for ENVS 1401 last semester and I am currently taking her for GEOL 1101 lecture and lab.Science is my worst subject and my test scores still show, yet she is a clear instructor and very helpful. She is fair and offers help. Her test are short yet very tricky,but with the extra credit offered that will help in the end.Go 2 class
Ms. Schulte is a good Geology teacher who knows her subject well. She does all she can to help you with the course and grades. She is always kind and considerate of her students.
Test and quizzes are easy. Make sure you take the notes and pay attention and you should be good. She makes it possible for you to get the grade you want. Nice lady as well
A great teacher. Came to school ready to teach and help students. This is the science teacher to take at GPC. She is really wonderful in the sense she will take jokes and has a sense of humor. Come to calss and do all right on the tests and you will do well.
Fun, easy and an easy b. Come to class, take quizs and do not ask stupid questions.
Online class is super easy, consists of watching two, 30 minute videos each week and taking notes which is it. The midterm is taken online and is short answer form, final is multiple choice taken on campus. Great teacher!
more interested in sliding in her political points of view than introducing people to the wonderful world of environmental science. If you don't want to get discouraged about the field pick another professor!
If you are not a Geology major, avoid the teacher. Took online and she had major attitude, almost sneering 98% of time. Also took a week's vacation in middle of summer semester. Avoid at all costs. Didn't seem to want to teach course either. Had an A in class before final (worth 150/400 points). Probably will fail. Limited extra credit.
I took this teacher for Envs 1401 online, Geology 1101 and also Geo Lab (both in class). She uses the powerpoint alot and I thought she was fun. Make sure you take notes on the powerpoint because it will help alot on the exams. I wouldn't hesitate to take her again. Highly recommend.
Nice Teacher! Not very hard if you pay attention to powerpoint presentation, listen to videos, and do projects which are fairly easy. Midterm and Finals are worth lots of points but she makes it possible for you to atleast earn B if you do well on midterm (short ans) and rest of the work. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!
I was looking forward to taking this class, but I did not like her's. She puts her own opinion into the class, which made it difficult to tell exactly what we should be learning. If you had any questions she always told you to refer to the syllabus, well if I knew the answer I wouldn't have to ask! For ENVS don't bother.
you learn nothing online, she teaches you nothing. Her test has nothing to do with the discussions. She does not answer any questions, she says refer to the syllabus. Highly do not recommend for envs online. Worst teacher I have ever had.
Great online class. Love the fact she uses powerpoint WITH audio! She gives a study guide for each test. Offers EC discussion boards. She tells you she will refer you to the syllabus IF the answer is already there...you signed sayin you read it so what do you expect? Taking her geology online now and it is fun ROCK MUSIC online!!
Taking online this semester. You need to be organized and motivated. She gives study guides and tests are from the guides but you do need to study. Gives opps for extra credit. No homework only 2 projects which are not hard. Powerpoints are clear. She gives you a window of 2-3 days to take tests. Not easy but not hard either.
Geology Rox! Best science course I ever took. Prof really made it fun and I actually learned stuff. Not too easy but just right. You do have to study some tho. The projects are fun and not just boring homework. Answers email and post grades fast. Will take again for next geology class.
I took this class online. Be prepared to study and work hard for your grade. This teacher gives you study guides for the 3 test but most of what is on the test is not on the study guide. Test are extremely hard and somewhat ridiculous. I would not recommend this teacher.
Taking online you do have to study but lectures are good and the study guides for the test are key. The projects are so-so but better than regular homework. She doesn't check email over the weekend but she says she doesn't. Helpful when you ask will even provide phone conferences if you can't get to campus. Overall, I would recommend.
Took online. Great class. Fast responses. Extremely fair and helpful. Calls students even. Highly recommend.
Great class. Very straight forward. Fair tests. Projects are good, not great. Quizzes are super easy. Recommend for science and online course.
i think you have to be brain dead not to pass this class. i never bought the book.the day of my exams, i would listen to the power-point lectures and pass all my exams with A's. she explains everything very well and is VERY nice. TAKE HER!!!!
OMG! Professor Schulte is probably the BEST teacher I ever had. She makes it virtually impossible for you to not make an A in her class. I tooke her online class for both Geology and Environmental Science and made an easy A in both. She offers extra credit, and she is WAY more than fair on grading. I LOVED her. Take her if you can. She is the best!
TAKE HER! SHE IS EXTREMELY EASY. I DONT UNDERSTAND THE COMMENTS ABOUT HER BEING HARD. I PASSED HER CLASS WITH AN 'A' AND I DIDNT EVEN BUY THE BOOK. I JUST LISTENED TO ALL THE LECTURES THE DAY OF AN EXAM AND PASSED ALL OF THEM.
@_@I took this class online. She is great with her ppt lectures which actually helped me remember the material.Check online everyday b/c there are pop quizzes.No homework but exams can be hard.Final was hard, didnt pass it but still made an A in the class.
I took this course online. Test hard and extrememly detailed. Curved all test thought which helped alot. Opportunities for extra credit and other assignments which helped overall grade. I would recommend. Wish she were teaching GEOL1122.
I took online class. I did not study nor did I read material and passed class. She gives extra credit and curves the final. I recommend class. The class is great!
Took her online. Easy to pass, never read the book, everything from power point. She doesnt like when students are asking questns, she will refer to syllabus. Her Lab is not easy, quizes, midterm and final very hard.
Okay class. The teachers responses to emails are so dry. I guess she doesn't like students asking ?s. A big extra credit opportunity to boost up the grade. the Final is what's the hardest! And you can't see the tests/quizzes you took for reference. I would recommend her, just need to work quite hard in the class.
TEACHER IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING AND ANAL. YOU HAVE TO TAKE A SYLLABUS QUIZ OF 10 TEDIOUS AND ANNOYING QUESTIONS AND SHE WILL NOT LET YOU ACCESS THE CLASS UNTIL YOU PASS THAT QUIZ. SHE IS RUDE WHEN RESPONDING TO EMAIL AND MAKES YOU DOWNLOAD A LOCKOUT BROWSER IN ORDER TO TAKE THE MIDTERM.TOOK THE CLASS FOR SUMMER AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND HER!!!
Funny how the ratings are so different. Online class a lot of work like all online classes. Course quiz over syllabus you have in front of your face. Uses lockdown so you can't use the net when taking exam but you still have notes and books. She does respond quickly to emails which are short and to the point. Very understanding. Highly Recommend!!!
Took Hybrid class and wish all my classes were like this. Power points are all online, meet once a week to watch any video, answer ?, and so on. LOVED this class and I hate science!! I promise you will not be sorry. She gives fun pop quizzes for bonus points in class (like who won the football game). TAKE THIS CLASS YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY!
Prof is very understanding. Had several personal family issues she worked with me and allowed me time to get caught up. She really cares about students if you don't do well in her class it is probly because you did not try. i took env online and geol hybrid class and recommend both. I wish prof taught more classes so i could take them too.
TAKE THIS ONLINE COURSE....do all the work and you'll be fine. Watch the videos....do your work ....I've heard a lot of horror stories about other geo teachers...take her class
Not very interactive for online class. Read book, watch videos, memorize everything. Mid term online but final proctored. Required discussions, but no feedback from prof. Homework assignments are not indicative of what is covered on exams.
Took over summer so very condensed. Discussions are bonus, homework is easy not the normal answer these questions. Videos are short and interesting, lectures are powerpoint with audio. Responds quickly, very helpful. Great summer class.
worst professor at gpc!
This woman can be a trip if she wants to, especially in GEOL.She's great in environmental science classes but in geology she gives too much assignment and she is not very helpful in the lab. the test aren't easy, you really need to study and sometimes even if you do...it can turned out bad like D's. I would not recommend her for a geology class, sh
Tough but fair teacher. Always helpful with questions. Tests are hard; usually only 25?s so you really have to study! Live by the ppts! Do well on homework and quizes as they greatly impact your grade. Do the extra credit field trip! It greatly helps your grade. I suggest taking Physical Geology first; it will make Historical Geology much easier
Dont take her for Geology. Please, heed this warning! DONT TAKE HER FOR GEOLOGY. You will regret it every single time you step into class. She is awful, especially for lab. Insane. Dont do it.
Awesome instructor, one of the best so far. Very Helpful especially in labs. The class is a hybrid so she does talk very fast to cover all material in one session but you have access to lectures online. Very funny. You do have to complete assignments and do well on tests to make an A or B. Taking her online for ENVS this summer.
Come on people - she drops multiple quizzes, replaces the lowest exam score and offers plenty of EC. It is obvious from comments who failed the class. The only way NOT to pass is to simply not do the work and not study. Two things you should do in any college course, especially science. Straight-forward, clear expectations, makes science fun.
I took this class for an online over the summer. She did all chapters in Power Point online lectures and had a quiz once a week, plus 2 tests, 3 papers, and discussions. I enjoyed this class a lot as long as you did the reading and all work it's a easy A. She makes stuff clear on what to do and when to do it.
Awesome teacher, very clear on expectations with quizs, tests, and homework. If you read the book, listen to her powerpoints and as added learning do the books CD you will make a A. She drops 3 quizs and gives extra credit!
Good professor, her quizzes were really easy if you follow her powerpoints should be a easy A/B. The midterm was okay but the final was definitely hard. So you really have to study for that. Other than that she's a good teacher.
This teacher is awful, rude to responding to emails, treats you like you are in 5th grade, if you have an issue with the way she graded she will not respond to you, and the final was completely unfair. questions were unclear. I do not recommend this teacher, I should have received an A because this class is easy but not with her as a teacher
DO NOT TAKE HER HYBRID CLASS OR REGULAR CLASS. DO NOT TAKE HER PERIOD!!!! She does not teach and does not care if her students pass or fail. Her quizzes are hard and her study guides are not like the test. She made an easy course HARD! PLEASE SAVE YOUR GPA AND DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!!
took her for intro to geology online and her lab. she is a tough teacher not gonna lie. i did have some problems with her online course but if you really do show that you care and work hard she will give you the grade that you want. for her online class she lets u drop 3 quizzes and she had an extra credit opportunity as well which helped me a lot!
Took this professor and did okay. She likes geology but she is just hard. I recommend taking someone else unless Geology is your major.
DO NOT TAKE AT ALL! RUN FAR AND SAVE YOUR GPA!
I can't say enough about her lab, she made a horribly boring subject fun. I actually enjoyed going to lab. We had so much fun in the class. You do have quizzes which you do have to study for but if you follow her instructions and stick to her reviews you will be fine. Taking her hybrid in the fall!
Took her geology lecture and it was a piece a cake. Her quizzes come straight from her powerpoints! She will even tell you what to study, what chapters and gives a great review. The final is tough but it is partly a college assessment. Take her you won't be sorry!!
I had no idea what a hybrid was but it turned out to be really cool. Lecture notes in iCollege. You go to class only once a week to take any quizzes, exams,class projects or mini-lectures. If I had know this ahead of time and I could have taken both of her hybrids and knocked out my science requirements in half the time!! More hybrids please!
Her online class this was the best. Class was neatly organized,she responded within hours emails. You do have to listen to the lectures, they are video so you donâ??t simply have to read stale notes. The assignments are not bad and donâ??t take long but do help you with exams. Best online class I have taken so far. I am taking her ENVS over the summer.
Not easy worked for a B. Since its science class didnâ??t expect a cakewalk. Dr. S was great, she does care, very responsive to student concerns and issues. There are no make ups allowed but she does offer EC, drops 3 of your lowest quizzes, replaces your lowest exam with the final and even gives bonus quizzes.Dr. S because she made it fun.
I learned so much, one of my best classes. I hesitated because it's science. Dr Schulte truly cares for her students. In this class we went outside, ran up and down the hallway, ran around in class, played with jello, melted crayons, put flies to sleep and a bunch of other fun stuff. I L O V E D this class and Prof. Schulte.
Don't let a hybrid scare you - they are awesome. Dr S puts the lectures online so I could listen to them in the car or at the park with my kids. I was able to graduate because I took both hybrids at the same time saved me time & $ She is very helpful and cares but you have to earn your grade. Never thought I would actually like two science classes.
I hoped to graduate this sem. w/ a higher GPA bc I'm shooting for all A's this semester but now I'm concerned I may have to take GEOL again. She is very disorganized although she may be a nice person. The syllabus has incorrect pages to read because she doesn't update them, the calendar of due dates doesn't line up with the syllabus. Good luck!
Awesome summer class, easy to follow, clear instructions and guidelines. Drops 3 quizzes! Responds within a couple of hours and super nice. She will stick to her syllabus policies but is very fair, taking another class in the fall with her - hybrid ENVS. Take this class, you won't regret it!!
Her class is easy. I have no interest in Geology and the lowest grade I got on anything was an 85. Study, and read the book and you'll do fine.
This class was okay. She grades on a point scale and uses lockdown for her tests. There are 13 quizzes and she drops the 3 lowest. However, don't expect her to bump your grade up to an A if you have an 89. She just doesn't do that. I went in to the final with a solid A and walked out with a B.
Super clear expectations, drops 3 quizzes, replaces lowest exam grade and takes participation into account. Sticks to no makeups though. Very helpful and funny. Just do what is asked and you will pass no problem. I could have had an A but didn't really study as much as I should have for the quizzes.
She is a GPA Killer first of all. She makes many mistakes on test and quizzes. She gives out study guide, but all of them wont be on the test. She states "All thing in class or in the book is fair game." I would not recommended her.
(Hybird) Professor schulte is very nice person, but she unorganized, lazy, and often make errors. 4 exams including final, quizzes everyday, mastering geology, and "project". Bottom line I wouldn't recommend her for hybird. Take her online.
Stay away, quizzes open Saturday, if she remembers, will give zeros even if she forgets to open the quiz. disorganized, rude, awful, worst class I've taken since pre-k. You would have more luck taking this class from a rock. I've taken 5 years of online classes, and never had any issues like ones shes creates.
I took hybrid and loved it! GREAT class, drops multiple quizzes, subs for low exam, fun assignments and very nice teacher. She really cares about the students and works with you. Highly recommend. Took her online geology and it was one of the best online classes I took.
OMG this was the last class I could take with her taken 4 and loved each one. She is funny, caring and very supportive. I had a rough start and she helped me, no A but I did make a B. She is really helpful her hybrids are best because you get online and class time. This was a great science class learned a lot, we even had cupcakes in class!
Online geology was more interesting that I thought ti would be. Videos are very informative, quizzes are not super easy but it is a science class. Study guides are helpful and she will review them yours if you ask. Missed an exam but was replaced with my final so I could attend a funeral. A lot less stressful than a makeup exam. Highly recommend!!!
Great lab experience. I hate science and labs but this was actually fun and then time went quickly. Very easy ging and helpful. Highly recommend especially if you are a fan of science
Fabulous course! Best online course ever, esp for summer. Very clear ppts w/audio. Mastering very helpful, organized. Highly Recommend!!!!
Loved the hybrid, need more of these classes. Took both her hybrids at same time to knock out science reqs in half the time. Very fun and interesting class. Go for it!
She is a pretty good teacher. Her powerpoints tell you everything you need for the test so no book required. Preety straight forward. As long as you listen to the powerpoints you are going to get an A. I only got a B because the half of the final was face to face for the online class so I bummed it. Easy A though if you try!
Loved this class, her powerpoints are awesome. Very straightforward, nice but not a pushover! Recommend!!
Not a very good professor. She was difficult to reach, slow with grading, and very discouraging if you struggle in her class. I would not recommend her class to anyone, online or in person. She may be a good person but helping students who are struggling is not one of her abilities.
She's nice and clear on what she expects. If you take the online course you still need to study because time will run out if you depend on looking up your notes. Like what was mentioned before the face to face exam is a grade average killer.
Her class is easy if you can simply listen to her when she talks about the material she is teaching. Her power points just seem to spoon feed the information to you. I wish all of my instructors were like her. She shares her appreciation and fascination with the information she teaches.
I personally didn't enjoy this lab class because the instructor wasn't helpful. She doesn't help students, instead tells them if they read the book. Teaching is not one of her ability. Basically, I had to teach my self with this course. The only thing she's good at is the due dates. If you are taking this bc the course sounds easy, think again.
Do not take this class. It's harder than Biology or chemistry courses. You have to learn everything by yourself. she doesn't teach the class, she expect everyone to know what she's going to cover in class in advance. Powerpoint contains like 3540 pages, which is nothing different than reading the whole book. One of the hardest class I had.
I took her environmental lecture class as well as her physical geology lecture and lab class. They were all pretty crowded with many students which had to be downsized because you couldn't breat, so if you like powerpoint slides and mastering the course access codes, and dated quizzes and tests which our on the syllabus than this class is for you.
I would take her again oh yeah I did take her again. She's nice and relaxing, but beware you have to study for her tests just like any other class. Studying the powerpoints slides and mastering course website which I did and you should be able to pass the class. Be prepared for the unexpected as I was unprepared the first go around. I hope this
She gives good study guides. Teaches the subject very well. I got a D in her environmental science lecture class, but that's because I forgot to take the online final. Furthermore, I took her again the next semester for geology lecture and lab. She's easy to talk to but not a pushover and definitely will try to help you pass the class if you
Kim was great with responsiveness and helpfulness. Her quizzes make you know the answers and her discussion questions make you research, which is fun. She can be a little hard to get in touch with but not bad, and you'd better expect to do your work or you'll do yourself in. Great class!
Great professor! She's a little nutty in a funny way. Her study guides are helpful. Be there on time! Cus she will randomly give extra credit if you're on time. Study for her test, do the hw and assignments and you should be fine. If you want an A, don't slack.
Great teacher! She cares about her students and is very friendly. She does not make her class harder than necessary. If you put in the effort you will get a good grade. I'd highly recommend Mrs. Schulte.
Great teacher. Notes do not get posted online so always attend lecture. Lectures are interesting and detailed, one of the best college science teachers I have had so far. She is extremely nice and always helpful, she encourages student participation in lectures and always answers questions. Highly recommend taking her class.
I enjoyed listened to her leactures. I learned a lot! She wants her students to be successful.
DO NOT TAKE ONLINE CLASS. power points are 5-27 slides! USE the charts from her pps NOT THE BOOK. ah geez grading she will argue, does not give all the info needed to be informed or she gives u the wrong info, i basically was taught by another professor and tutor, page # are wrong, nice during the final. I LEARNED NOT TO TAKE THIS WOMAN EVER AGAIN!
Professor not always accessible to students, each lab is way more time consuming than I thought they would be. Lab workbook doesn't always have enough information to complete labs. A lot of work for a science credit.
I took Professor Schulte for lecture and lab. I loved her class. If you don't understand something just ask her after class. The lab was the hardest and the most people had problems with. You work with groups till the end of the semester so make sure you pick a good group. Lecture is online since I took a hybrid.
Made students feel stupid when asking questions, even if they were reasonable. Stingy with extra credit- we had one but it was $30 for admission. Believed that all kids were already masters in geology. Late to class and never seemed excited to be there, making her students not want to either. I learned most things from another student in the class.
If you want an instructor who gives you direct guidelines and better preparation for tests and does not always sit there and read off the powerpoint and expect you to know every detail that is not going to be required on the exam. DONT TAKE THIS INSTRUCTOR! . Most of her class average is below 70% or worse
I do not recommend her to anyone. All she does is put powerpoints up and gives you a few mins per slide to write all the text over. You do not learn anything. participation is for points. using a phone or talking etc. means points off your grade. Does not respond to emails quick. if you miss a class (powerpoint) you will be lost.
I would never take her again. Even if you late for 1 min she will take you some point out of you participation grade. Her tests are 40 questions, but you definitely need to know more than you thought. I always think that I was doing good for the test but always ending up with a C. I passed the class with the B because if the bonus point.
OMG, she is the best online teacher I have had and for science. Responds within 24 hours, caring, great audio lectures, quizzes and exams straight from lectures. The class is well organized. Drops quizzes and one exam. Offers to help with studying before the exam, we had a great phones review and I got an A on the last exam.
So this was an ONLINE SCIENCE course, ick. Prof S made it is as painless as possible. I didn't get my A but made an 88%. The course is well organized, clear expectations, clear grading, responds to emails quickly. However, the final is not easy. It is online but proctored and cumulative. She did provide study guides which helps a lot.
Really good for online class, she is very organized and really fast in responding to emails. She really sticks to the policies in the syllabus so you know what to expect. No extra credit because "averages were high", would still have liked the chance. Regular exams, quizzes and assignments in a Pearson website but you get multiple chances at answer
Okay so honestly, this was a great online science course. Prof S is no pushover though. She sticks to her policies but is not without compassion. The main things is to communicate if you have issues. Her policies allow for missed quizzes and missed exam. I am not a big fan of mastering geology but it is more interesting than writing papers!
I didn't use the book much because her tests are based on her powerpoints. The exams are not super easy but study some and they are manageable. Mastering assignments are okay but if you ask for a hint, you lose a portion of the score. Good lectures, responds very quickly and will help when you ask for it. Taking her for ENVS this summer.
Online science - yuck! Prof S makes it tolerable and even enjoyable. Just do the work on time which is not that much. Use the study guides provided and you will do well. She is fast with emails and grades quickly so you know where you are in the course. Taking her for ENVS this summer, fingers crossed.
Lectures are ppt with audio. Uses Mastering for assignments which is not bad and they are not very long. Class is well organized for online. Exams are not to bad if you follow the study guide. The final is on campus though so no notes! This is for all science courses. Lab is separate wish I had taken her for lab!
Best science professor ever!
Don't take it. You will regret it.
Amazing instructor! It was tough over the summer but she responds quickly and is very clear in her expectations! Can't wait to take her envs class in the fall.
Class is very straightforward. Makes her policies clear and stands by them. Lectures are easy to understand. Tests are not bad and she gives a good study guide.
Best science professor I have had and online to boot. She is not a push-over and sticks to her policies but is very fair. Course is well laid out and organized. Responds quickly to emails! Great study guide
I honestly wished i look her up before taking her. Over time of taking her exams i notice her test doesn't always correlate with the study guide. She have people looking over so much material only to find out on 90% of the material we study isn't on the test. She is not specific with what material is going to be on test/finals.
GREAT teacher! I had some issues come up and she worked with me to make sure I didn't get too far behind. She does stick to the syllabus which she makes very clear. Homework is online and interactive, quizzes are not bad but are timed, usually 5 questions or so. The exams took on average 30 minutes to finish. Study guide was awesome.
Very fun online science course. Not a cake walk but so much better than other online courses I have taken. She will stick to her policies but communicate if you have questions or issues. She is understanding about things. Helped me with other coursework as well.
I made my first A in a science course! Prof S is amazing. She cares about her students but you have to follow the rules and communicate. Tests are decent with the study guide, assignments are actually fun and quizzes are not bad. Not a walk in the park but not what I was expecting either. I wish she taught other courses!
Good online course. Good professor.
Good online course, very organized. Provides a study guide which most don't do anymore. Tests are online except for final. Quizzes are easy if you review your material first. Would recommend!
I am only half way through my class and this is the best online course I have taken. Very organized and clear with expectations. She does stick to her policies in the syllabus but I already knew the policies. Responds very quickly and grades early. Wish all online courses were like this! Plan to take her again.
I would recommend taking somebody else, but overall it was alright. 8 or 9 Quizzes, 3 Exams, several homework assignments. If you take her class the quizzes are not that hard, but I would study harder for the exams. No make ups or retakes. Ask her a question expect short answers possibly the next day and/or she will refer you to the syllabus.
Great teacher, 8 quizzes but drops 3, 3 regular exams and final, replaces lowest exam grade with final exam helped me a lot. Homeworks are easy and quizzes are fine, you do have to study for exams. VERY clear in policies and lectures are good. Very organized. Good online course.
Okay, not ganna lie. I failed class but it was my own issues. Taking it with her over summer as she is willing to work with me and the issues I have. NO other teacher is willing to do this to me. Very nice and I will do my best to honor and respect her by passing class.
Man I wish she taught more classes. If you fail this class it is because you didn't try. Study guides are amazing and super helpful. Assignments are fun, quizzes are over weekly material and only a few questions. Grades quickly and responds super fast. I wish she had taught the lab section, maybe I would have made an A in that too!
Great for online science, better than my on campus classes. Lectures were clear and loved the audio. Homework and quizzes a piece of cake. Exams are typical exams. Easy class for a business major. Plan to take her other course this summer if my aid gets fixed.
OMG! Best science class ever! I haven't taken the final yet but I really enjoyed this class and I HATE science. I wish I could have had her for lab - ick! She has a no makeup policy but makes allowances by dropping a lot of quizzes and replacing exam grades. ALWAYS responds to my questions very quickly, even on weekends.
OMG - she rounds UP!!!! I had a D but she took my participation and other grades into account and I got a C. I am so happy!! It is not an "easy" class but it was good for science and Kimberly is awesome! THANK YOU!
If you actually sit and study you will pass, if not forget it. Drops 3 quizzes and replace final with lowest test grade. provides study guide for final and midterm. books is not needed she had audio power points just take notes make flash cards and when i didnt understand something i would use a book but that was rare. STUDY!
Best professor ever! Not a cake walk but a good class!!!
Fantastic class. Very organized and easy to follow. Lectures are great. Simply do what is expected and it is an easy class MUCH better than biology or chemistry. Taking her environmental class this summer just wished she would teach a lab online too.
Lack of attentiveness. Showed very poor communication skills. If you have a question she will constantly refer you to the syllabus, which is 1 Annoying, 2 Unorganized and 3 has inaccuracies. Icollege quizzes did not have any description or title until half way into the semester. Wish I could have taken someone else's class.
Love Prof Schulte! She was amazing all semester. Class very organized, syllabus clear, policies clear. Took about an hour a week to complete assignments, unless there was an exam. Study guides for exams are amazing! Grades always posted quickly, always knew what my grade was. Quizzes short and sweet. Best decision to take her class.
Great class. Prof Schule is amazing. Love the review that said she refers you to syllabus - she does if the answer is there. We are supposed to read it and know the policies. HA! Only way I would take science is online and I am glad I did. Plan to take her other class next term. Cant wait to take vacation to see some rocks!
Not going to lie, if not for prof kim i would have failed this course. she is the reason i passed. science is hard to me but her lectures and reviews and responses to my questions help me. I made a C+ but i am happy with it because i did not expect it. I thank prof for help and for understanding my difficulty.
Just checked my grade and I made a letter grade over what I thought because of the dropped quizzes and exam replacement. I am so stoked. I wish others would realize life happens and you can't always do everything. Sticks to the policies but they are more than fair! If you need a science course, take her!
Great class, I took it last fall and wished I had been able to take her for my other science class. Prof S is so fast in responding to emails and with grades. You don't have to wonder about anything because her syllabus is thorough and she makes allowances for missing quizzes and exams! Syllabus in my other class wasn't even posted until Feb!
Great class, organized and fast responder and grader! Clear expectations.
BEST online class so far! Organized, fast grader and responses to emails. Very clear policies.
Currently in this class and it is great! Organized, easy to find stuff, very fast grader and responds to email quickly. Assignments are not difficult if you follow the lectures!
Loved this class, really organized and super fast in responding to emails and posting grades. Its science so it was not easy but she made it fun and tolerable.
In this class right now, AMAZING!! So organized and fair!
Awesome summer class, super fast response to questions and not tough on assignments
Not bad for online science in the summer. You do have to study for exams but you get a study guide. No extra credit offered in the summer so keep that in mind. Truly a blessing to have my science taken care of!
Great for a summer science course. Well organized and fast responder to emails and questions. Also quick grader! Always know where you stand with grade. Good lectures too.
I wish she would teach the labs online and the next geology course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Super class, very organized, not a lot of homework and provides great study guides! Want her to teach other classes.
Taking this class as a summer course. Your midterm and final have the most weight for your grade. The homework assigned is supposedly based off her power point and the textbook but the information can not be found in either or even by google search. When you reach out to her for help she simply states she can not give out extra credit. Not helpful!
CLEAR expectations, offers to replace lowest exam with final (even if you miss one), does not give extra credit "as grades typically do not warrant it". Tests based on ppts and gives a study guide. School uses lockdown browser on exams. Takes minimal effort to study her powerpoints following study guide. Homework setup as quizzes can use notes....
I took Prof Schulte's class for spring and I really disliked the way the class was conducted. You use lockdown browser for every test and only provides half working slides for the class. Some have too much info, some not enough and some don't work properly. I almost dropped this classed. I would recommend taking another professor.
OMG - best science class ever. Looks like a lot of work but assignments are not very involved. Some quizzes took me a minute to complete. A TON OF EXTRA CREDIT just for completing assignments ON TIME and doing post reflections. She responds FAST too.
Lots of extra credit just for doing work by due date but no penalty if you miss it. There is a hard deadline but it was like midpoint. Looks like a lot of work at first but some assignments take a minute to complete! Great setup, just takes getting used. Responds very quickly to emails. Does use Lockdown Browser as all classes do now.
This is a lab that goes with the geology class as well. This professor gives out so much work.( 6-10 quizzes + 1 test EVERY WEEK) and this is all on top of the work given from your geology class professor. So much math in this lab & rarely broken down to understand. ZOOMS through topics. Had so many issues with multiple files we had to download.
RUN, do not walk to the nearest exit. This professor's workload is absolutely insane. She is not clear about final exam dates and only assigns them during very short, specific timeframes. You will complete over a hundred quizzes, as she makes you work for every point of your grade. She teaches the lecture and lab with lots of quizzes for both.
This is for online students. Be mindful of the proctored exams. I made some mistakes when I took two exams a day before the midpoint/midterm, and didn't see her 1 warning email on time. Thus got a 0 for my midterm because I couldn't fix it. Don't be like me and avoid trouble bc she seemed passive-aggressive when I emailed her a question later on.
Lectures are videos from 3 professors: Ballero, Stewart, Bouker. Ballero's are the worst, incredibly confusing and rambling. Stewart is meh. Bouker's were good. Very strict with Respondus. Lots of extra credit in main + lab for getting work done on time. Maybe they wouldn't need to give so much extra credit if they taught the material better.
Lectures are mixed quality - Bouker's are good, but Ballero's are confusing. Strict with Respondus. Lots of extra credit helps make up for issues. Unstuck AI was a lifesaver for class prep.
Lectures are a group effort by diff. prfs. Lots of homework but they are very short and easy. The exams are monitored so no cheat coz you will get seen. TONS of extra credit. This course is setup the same way for all online 1121 labs so going to dif class won't make a diff. Responds fast to email.
I took both the lecture and lab with Prof Schulte and loved it. The course offers extra credit with EVERY assignment! It looks like a lot of work but the quizzes are short. She grades fast and responds to emails fast too. My only advice is don't cheat, you will get caught. I had several class mates say that she caught them when nobody else has!
Very Very rude not only to me but others. Seems like she purposely gave me lower grades compared to other students taking her class. You know that one scene in means girls? That's what I have to say about her. DO'NT TAKE HER. IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
I have never experienced a horrible professor until now. She basically bullied me while I was taking her class. Would not ever recommend her class. There are WAY better professors out there then this one.
She wasn't per-say bad, but if you didn't realize you had made a mistake during lockdown, it reflected poorly on you, resulting in a 0 and a pending academic dishonesty. Attempting to find solutions to rectify the situation won't be accepted. She graded my final exam and it said my overall was 98, but it's listed as a B elsewhere.
