Do your part and youll pass, like to mix things up as far as material

Great professor who is fun and truly cares about her students.

Pitts is a great prof. she is helpful and cares about her students. Just do your part and you will pass.

Pitts is a really good down to earth Geo teacher she has a good way of making the topic interesting with the 3D models she makes for her students to get the topic. I liked how she was very easy going and if you follow the syllabus you should get a easy A. Interesting things I learned and she's funny so it makes time go by faster. extra credit given

This class would be good online, but due the sudden closure it made the lab class difficult and at times frustrating. Not my professors fault. I feel the labs really do need to be on campus, otherwise the college needs to really help the professors with better support to prepare labs for online structure.

Ms. Pitts is very personable and kind. She knows a lot about geography. When the class switched to online because of COVID-19, Ms. Pitts did a great job adjusting the curriculum, being accessible to students, checking in. This goes to show that she cares about the success of her students. She also likes to wear bowties.

Great class. Teacher is very understanding and is really passionate in teaching her subject. Offers extra credit when you are struggling. There are lots of notes you need to take, but she lets you use them for your tests. Just be in class, do your notes, complete assignments and you will likely get an A.

I took her class for the Spring of 2020, meaning we started off doing class inside and then due to covid online. At first it was a tricky transition but she made it easy and tried her best to help us. She lays out the way she grades in the syllabus and she explains it in class, and even whduring the class term if you have questions she will answer

I had a great experience taking this class, the class was online but Pitts still made a great effort to communicate what was expected of us. I enjoyed the assignments and felt i learned alot taking this class. 10/10 recommend if you like upbeat enthusiastic professors that care about what they are teaching and the success of their students

In all honesty, this class isn't all that difficult. It's just a lot of work. The material is easy enough to understand and the homework is pretty straightforward. It's just A LOT. The tests are also very fast paced, and in my case, I would scramble to finish before the timer's out. There's also weekly Zoom meetings, but they're not mandatory

Its a good class but requires you to work for your grade! Professor is easy to reach and gives good lectures.

The professor is very enthusiastic and caring at times during her lectures, although there are a couple of issues with her teaching style. It seems to lack subsistence during her lectures and at times she doesn't cover what is needed for the assignments, on the other hand her lectures are very easy to understand. She has a unique teaching method.

I had professor Pitts this Spring 2021 I honestly enjoyed her class because I attend the lectures and she explained the material very well. Readings help for quizzes and midterms. I would for sure retake this class again it is very fun. The professor loves what she teaches and that is the best that you can have because you learn the material well.

I thought she was a fairly decent teacher. I thought the tests were pretty hard. She gives a lot of assignments, so get ready to work. The assignments were fairly easy though. We had group projects. WHat I liked is she didn't grade as a group but graded individually.

I had a fantastic time in this class. Despite the fact that the class was online, Professor Pitts made every attempt to clarify what was required of us. I loved the projects and thought I gained a lot of knowledge from this course. Overall, she did an excellent job of educating us, communicating with us every week, and evaluating our work on time.

She is a ver good professor. we had live lectures on Wednesday every week and they were always really interesting. she is a very funny teacher and I highly recommend taking her class. there is quite a bit of work to do throughout the week but you have from the Wednesday it closes the Tuesday of the following week. so you have plenty of time.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class, even as a required class. Professor Pitts is a bit funny but sometimes is a little too talkative during lectures, especially when she gets off-topic. Everything can be accessed easily within the module and she generally is good about getting back to you via email within a day. Suggest you read the required material.

Discussions were the most interesting part of the class and were pretty easy. The chapters can vary from 2-3 chapters to read per week. Sometimes they're short and sometimes they're not. I personally am so bad at reading haha.. One thing I'd definitely say to improve is to record the live lectures! Esp since some students can't make it sometimes.

This lab with Professor Pitts is amazing. She was a funny and awesome person who shows us many great lectures, especially that one lecture on the minerals and their identification tables in which it's my most favorite lecture of all time to learn. Even if there's a lot of homework, it's a good thing some of it were optional but recommended.

This class was fun and amazing to learn with Professor Pitts. Pitts provides a group project in which is also fun to do with your teams since she will give credit to all of the team members of each group; Although there's a quiz based on the chapters of the online textbook, study well the important terms and concepts before started the quiz & exam.

It was a good class but requires you to work for your grade. Professor is easy to reach, understanding, and gives good lectures. We had Zoom classes weekly but they weren't mandatory and you were able to see them at your own time. There is a lot of work, but she is not a terrible grader if you try your best.

I am seeing some bad reviews on professor pits and she does give heavy work. This is my class with the heaviest work, but she was an amazing teacher. I'm not sure why some reviews say she didn't respond to them because she responded to ALL of mine and even sets up private zooms to help. She was by far my most helpful professor. Thank you professor

Professor pitts was a terrific professor she helped so much with a subject that i had trouble s with the semester prior.

Professor Pitts is very enthusiastic and a joy to watch during lectures. There was no text book required but we were provided readings to complete online, slides and her weekly lecture. Class can get overwhelming at times due to material, but overall if you want a fun teacher that will challenge you with enthusiasm, the Pitts is the way to go

Professor Pitts was a very informational, entertaining, and helpful teacher. If taking online make sure you spread your work out or you wont finish.

Mrs. Pitts was the best instructor I had this semester. She's really a gem. I've been through a lot in so many ways and every time I needed her to give me more time or even to understand me, she did. Besides being an amazing and creative teacher, she's an amazingly good person and for me, that's what counts the most. Thank you Mrs. Pitts!

Nice teacher and honestly didn't give that many assignments, just had them all due at the same time each week. She accepts late work, and while her rules may seem harsh in the beginning, she is pretty easy-going.

Enjoyed taking this class. Lectures are not mandatory which helped me to have more study time. Professor Lisa Pitts is caring and will assist you if you need any extra help.

So parts of the class i really enjoyed and i felt i did learn a lot from taking this class even if it was online. The only thing that i felt could be improved would be making emails and assignments more informative, there were times where i would get a response but problems would not be fixed

Professor Pitts is getting quite a bit of bad reviews. Yes it was a hard class. Yes it is only one unit but I went to the Live labs and she did a great job listening and adjusting the assignments. I learned a lot and I had to work for it, but Professor was available to help when I emailed, even at the craziest hours.

The professor did as best as they could with the shortened schedule due to summer sessions.

I took Professor Pitts this semester. She is super cool and enjoyed talking with her during the labs and orientation. Yes, there is a lot of work but this is also a summer course so a lot was crammed into a shorter time. She was very responsive and helpful when I needed more help with homework or for general inquiries!!

I thought she was an excellent professor and extremely helpful!

Aside from lots of homework, reading, and having to participate Professor Pitts really showed she cared about the material she provided her students with. She put in effort to make the lectures funny/interesting.

I can't really say anything bad about the professor, as a teacher she was decent and any bumps in the road were because of the pandemic, she injects her personality into the lectures which makes them less boring to sit through and she pairs that with a sense of humor. There is quite a bit of work considering you have to take the lab with this class

Pitts is a good Geography Professor who goes out of the way for students that need assistance, Pitts will give feedback on submissions and take care of any questions, comments, or concerns you might have. Especially great with reminding students about the objectives for the week by posting announcements often /consistently. grading policy was good

I don't really have any real issues with the professor. The only suggestion I would ask for is to be provided with a little bit more feedback after assignments are graded.

very nice and helpful. Gives you most of the material you need to know

Prof. Lisa Pitts maybe have had a bad review but, in my opinion, she has a good heart of honesty, honor, respect, helpful, caring, and fun to the students as a good review. Cuz she always helps the students to learn and understand the study of geography assignments and projects. And she also has great confidence and courage for us, no matter what.

If youre considering taking a geography lab or geography in general Id highly recommend taking it with Professor Pitts. Its quite rare in my eyes to find a professor who is truly passionate about what he/she teaches and Professor Pitts is one of the few teachers Ive had who love what they do. She is energetic, passionate, and understanding.

Mrs. Pitts has a real passion for geography and is inspiring to all of her students. The workload is just as one would expect but nothing too challenging. Would take again!

Overall, I really enjoyed this professor. Its hard to fail the class. Teacher grades fairly, responds to students in a timely manor, Very nice and you can tell they care about their students. If I could have the same teacher again I would. It was the perfect amount of work. Not too much, but not too little.

She gave us work for thanksgiving week and tried to justify it by saying it was because we werent in a physical classroom setting. As if I didnt have enough on my plate that week already. But overall she is a well-taught instructor and gives students a chance to learn what wasnt picked up. She also responds to concerns and questions on time.

her class was easy and self explanatory. here assignments were not hard at all but i would just say make sure you have time to complete the work. she's really nice and understanding. i would say definitely take her class!

You can tell that she is very passionate about Geography based on the workload itself. A standard week in this class consists of about 3-4 assignments ranging from tests to mini-projects. While this class was cool, I do believe she was a bit vague when it came to assignments ESPECIALLY tests. Her questions were very specific so watch out for that.

Professor Pitts is a caring professor. The only bad thing about her is that it takes her a while to grade assignments and respond to emails. But overall she's a great professor.

PITTS is a Great Professor. I have been struggling this entire semester (personal stuff too) and I found it very difficult at times, to keep up. Professor Pitts is very empathetic and is understanding on late work and in general a nice understanding person. I would definitely take her class again. She is super funny too. K

Professor Pitts is great when you want to work at your pace. All the material is clearly explained in the syllabus, lectures, and assignment instructions. If not you could always reach out to Professor Pitts, great at communicating with their students and you can really tell how much they care. Doing the discussions are important.

I found Prof Pitts to hand out a handful of homework, but I never found it to be overwhelming. I easily understood what was asked of me with each assignment. She was also a caring and funny prof. Overall, get ready to read to prepare for your tests, do your discussions with two replies, and work as a team with group projects (communication is key).

I really enjoyed the class, the recorded lectures were great especially if you miss a live one. However, some of the assignments were too much... very long.

I liked and learned a lot from this course. However, I wish the labs could be online as well. It would be much easier and more standard for the class to conduct the labs online like we did with the biomes. Sometimes finding the ingredients was a challenge.

Great professor overall but I think that if I took this class in person it would have gone way smoother.

great professor overall but I think that if I took this class in person it would have gone way smoother. it was difficult at times for me to do the labs which resulted in me just not doing them since they were online and not in person

I personally enjoyed this class. Lisa makes the lectures fun and very informative. Yes, you have to take notes and take quizzes. There is about the same amount of homework each week which gives you time to prepare! I would take a class again with this teacher.

What I learned the hard way, was to understand and know deadlines. I could have gotten a lot better score for the overall class if I had read the instructions correctly and make key deadlines. Other then that its a great class Highly recommend!

Interesting class and there was a decent amount of assigned work but it was all pretty entertaining and engaging so it was easy to do.

Professor Lisa is good at teaching us geography -- helping us to understand how Earth (where we lived) works. For me, I easily understand animals and forests (including deserts and oceans), analyze & observe the first science lab experiments at home by using materials I have, and it also helps me to think smarter, but no harder while doing quizzes.

This professor is really nice and she is available to answer our questions all the time, she is really helpful.

I would take her class again.

I want other students to know that this professor is the best and the most understanding person ever. The class was successful because of her efforts and always ready to assist where there is difficulty. I encourage each and every one of you to give her a chance and I promise you, you will be on the safe hands and your results will the be the best

Fun activities, and tough assignments but you need to do a good job in the class in order to pass, or else you'll stay behind.

Overall Funny professor, with lots of quizzes and readings.

When students have any questions, just email her, and she always do best she can.

Overall I thought she was respectful and lay out a clear overview in the beginning of the semester for an online course. Going through the material I actually learned a substantial amount of the course material, I would take her course again.

I feel she really cared and understood that life happens, so she was ok with some late work. She was also very honest when she said she was a little behind and was very fair with the grade received. She answered my questions. I feel she is a great professor, and I would take her again!

Professor Pitts made learning fun. There was a lot of work, but some of it was extra credit and optional. I really enjoyed class, but get ready to read a lot of material.

I like this professor. We didn't use books but we did have notes to take, and she provides us with what we will be taking our notes on. This was a pretty easy class, just make sure to stay up on your assignments or your grade will slip but this class is easy to keep with assignments.

Can be lots of work if you get behind, but very easy so if you put in the work, it is smooth sailing.

Very enthusiastic teacher and fun to be around, the workload was never too much.

She is the best geology teacher to take because she wants you to pass and pushes you to get your work done and the work is really not that hard. You have 3 test and discussion but those are really easy to do.

Professor Pitt is a really goofy and funny person I have never enjoyed science and I still kind of don't but this class was bearable. There are a lot of assignments but I prefer that in order to balance out my horrible test scores. Also if you get low test grades your booted from the class so beware. Group project was a bad experience for me.

Fairly easy class and not a difficult teacher. On occasion some assignments/test will have confusing instructions but sending an e-mail should clear things up.

Overall very supportive & attentive if you need help or instructive help !! great assign ments & very explanatory !!

I just finished taking a 6 week course with the professor and it was a lot of work I had to complete, but at the end, it was all worth it as I passed the class and the video notes that she assigned us helped a lot with our other assignments. It wasn't that bad of an experience.

Compared to my last professor, she has been by far the best. Although there may be a ton of tasks, as long as you complete them, you will receive credit. For me it was pretty difficult because we only had the class for 6 weeks so of course we had many assignments.

This class was both tough and easy for me because as I was taking this class I was also taking two other classes. The tough part is that all the assignments were due on one day, I know Professor Pitts gives us a whole week to do but it was hard to do with my other assignments. The easy part is that the assignments were easy as long as you read.

I liked this professor she seemed really cool.

There was a lot of work to get done in a short period of time. I liked this class and some assignments were fun to do.

This class was very interesting, I learned so much. On the other hand, I did find this class to be tough, so no slacking off if you want a good grade. Overall, study, keep up, and you should be fine. The exams are very important so make sure you absolutely study for them. Definitely a cool professor!

Professor Pitts is a great teacher! The final and midterm was difficult but the homework wasn't difficult as long as you read the lectures. She provides extra credit so if you really do your work you can pass! Will definitely take her classes again.
