took this class separate from the 3unit lecture class,made it a bit harder to understand some of the work. Homework was not real hard. she took the time to make sure you would understand the labs. She even stayed late to let you finish a test. She really wants to help students understand. Fun class. Definitely would take again. funny caring teacher

Easy class. Good instructor

Ms. Pitts is definitely a professor for the students! She does not want her students to fail so she does ALL she can to ensure you receive a passing grade. She started the semester off unprepared but she quickly progressed and made the class fun and interesting! She jokes around and makes class worth your while if you don't leave early! Enroll now!

Ms. Pitts is great. Don't be surprised if you cry laughing at least once during her class. She's very passionate about geography, and makes it interesting and fun. Don't expect an easy A, but expect to be graded fairly for what you put in to the class. Would definitely take again.

Professor Pitts is a really good teacher. I've learned more from her than I have from my actual geography (non-lab) class. She usually lets class out 90 minutes early and you can either stay and work on the assigned labs with her or go home and do them. Theres also a bunch of E.C. Both the midterm and final are open notes, which is great.

Ms. Pitts is a very good teacher. Her tests are open note and she is a very entertaining lecturer - she's passionate about what she teaches. Initially you may be overwhelmed by the amount of homework she assigns (given it's a 1 unit class), but eventually you'll come to realize the assignments are easily completed in class.

She's very understanding with assignments and awesome in lectures. Working together alot and class goes by fast.

Lisa is by far one of the most amazing teachers to have. Very clear on lecture, homework and in class labs. I would definitely take her classes again.

Ms Pitts is an amazing instructor. If you are committed to the class, she is committed to you. If you want to short change the class and not be invested then you won't pass. I rarely had homework cause I would do it in class with her after everyone else left early. She is there till the end of every class to answer ques and help you.

Lisa is passionate about teaching & cares for her students. Gives a lot of work, but if you stay after lecture she will help you finish the work. She cares about her students grades & would often add a little extra credit. She is very clear about the material you need to know and is always ready to answer students questions. Tests are open notes.

Professor Pitts is passionate about geography and truly wants her students to understand and pass her class. The tests might seems overwhelming but she drops the lowest test score and offers a lot of extra credit. There is a total of 11 in-class quizzes but she doesn't announce the dates for them so make sure you go to class everyday.

I took her during the spring of all the covid crap it was originally in person then turned into zoom meeting. She was very understanding I personally had perfect attendance I enjoyed attending her zoom lessons. She made the class extremely exciting and now I want to travel even more and see things I studied. I strongly recommend taking her!

By far one of the coolest prof. I have taken. She is funny and teaches her students in ways that are better understood and does not bore you out of doing your work. I would definitely take her again. I also would recommend her to anyone needing a GEOG teacher.

Professor Pitts is one of the few awesome teachers at VVC. Class with her was very enjoyable even though it was 3 hour long classes. She's hilarious and is always wiling to help.

Professor Pitts is an amazing professor, I would strongly recommend for anyone searching for a geog class. Ive learned so much during this class, although it was taking during the pandemic and we had to do everything over zoom. Pitts is passionate about her work and understanding to all of her students.

Really enjoyed the class. Before the pandemic it was a very fun and vibrant classroom then we made the switch to zoom. Since the switch, professor Pitts has done an incredible job at keeping us informed and provided great teaching lessons to help us in the class throughout the pandemic. I would totally recommend taking her class.

Solid choice. The pandemic changed a lot of things but she kept up and made the class engaging and fun. Dont expect an easy A, her passionate personality shouldn't be mistaken for weakness. Overall, I recommend her if you need to take a class on weather.

Shes a fun professor who knows what its like to be a student; it shows in her grading. The tests do require a good amount of reading and note-taking. If you do every assignment, though, you should be fine. (:

At first this class was very overwhelming but we all worked together to make things work. We were able to do group work which made the class 100% easier (as long as you have a great group). Take notes and pay attention to the quizzes, only thing that killed me in the end. All in all fun class and Pitts is an awesome Professor.

I took Miss Pitts for both courses, GEOG 101 and with the lab as well. She gives out a lot of homework, but her course overall is awesome! I would take her class all over again because even though it was overwhelming, I had lots of fun and learned more than I imagined. She is an awesome professor.

Pitts is overall a kind and caring professor that tries hard and expects you to do the same. In my opinion, the work is so overwhelming that it makes grasping the concepts difficult because you don't have the time to stop to really understand any of them. Find a good study group and reach out to her as much as you can.

Im going to be completely honest when I started class I was ready drop the course. I was very overwhelmed with the work. Im so happy that I stayed. Lisa is amazing and very caring she truly cares about her students. I recommend attending the live labs they are fun and she goes over our assignments with us. Stick to it and dont give up!

Professor Pitts is kind & fun. I'm not a sciency or math type of person but she's able to make it manageable. If you need help she will make time & give you that extra help. There can be a grip of work to do but it is totally doable. I recommend taking her for your lab. She answers emails fast & communicates with students. Extra Credit Available

Great Prof to have. If you're stuck- just send an email, she'll make time just for you if you ask. Extra Credit is there if you need it. Honestly, just don't wait till the last minute to do assignments and you'll do great. The low scores seen here are people who didn't put in the effort and got overwhelmed from not doing what they're supposed to

There can be a good amount of assignments both easy and difficult. Professor Pitts is amazing with humor and has creative lectures that are not mandatory. She will help you the best she can and will reopen assignments to give you a chance to get a better grade.

Professor Pitts has a great sense of humor and is very versatile in your needs of a professor. Im appreciative or the workload and the help she gives, when you attend the lectures pay attention because she does go over assignments. I do believe she would she would be a better professor if able to take in person rather than online,

Professor Pitts was a good teacher. She had easy assignments and was clear on them as well. Ive come to the conclusion that earth stuff just does not stick to me, but I did learn a few things in this class. The only downfall was that I was scared of communication because I felt I wouldnt get an answer back from her. But overall was a good time.

Great teacher but a lot of assignments.

Professor Lisa was very helpful throughout the semester. She went over the labs with us and was very clear and helpful. She uploaded her videos of the lectures and that really helped because I was able to pause and work through the lab at my own paste. Overall I enjoyed her class and would take her again.

Professor Lisa was a good teacher. She does give a lot of homework but its nothing thats not doable. I was ready to drop the class in the beginning but I found a way to cope with the class and homework . You just need to do your homework on time so you dont feel like its a lot when youre doing it the day thats its due.

She assigned a lot of assignments which are due on the same day which is not ideal. However, she does go through all assignments in her lecture, which makes it easier to complete them. Her examines are difficult but she does grade on a curve which is nice.

There is plenty of work to do: labs, reports, discussions and quizzes. She is however a fair grader, as long as you attempt the work you will get a good grade. Usually quick to respond to emails. Make sure to keep on top of the lectures/video meetings or you will miss alot.

Lisa Pitts is a good teacher. She reaches out to her students who are struggling and she gives out a lot of extra credit opportunities. She also tutors students in need of it. However, I only recommend that you take this class if it is the only class your taking or if you are only taking a few since this class requires a lot of homework.

She is awesome. There IS lots of assignments but you really just need to manage your time. Every assignment helped me to better understand the material. As long as you do the work & dedicate yourself to your studies AS YOU SHOULD and not be expecting an easy credit handout, you should be fine. Assignments are literally open all week to get done.

Professor Pitts is one of the most amazing professors you will ever have. I highly recommend her for any of your geography courses. Very intelligent and lovely to talk to. The textbook and everything you need is online. Go to their office hours and lectures. Absolutely amazing to talk to, and assignments are very clear. Just keep up with assignment

Professor Pitts is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend her for all of your geography courses. Very intelligent and lovely to talk to. The textbook and everything you need is online and in Canvas. Go to their office hours and lectures. Absolutely amazing to talk to, and assignments are very clear. Just keep up with assignments and ask for help.

Professor Pitts GEOG101 online is very organized and easy to navigate. However, if you are a busy person, maybe don't take with GEOG101L, it becomes a lot sometimes (but that's not on her). Just follow the instructions, watch the videos, and read the chapters and you can pass. The group project is a little nerve-racking waiting for the others.

Professor Pitts was awesome! The course work was difficult at times, but I'm not a science major. Any issues I had with understanding the material were quickly cleared up during office hours and lectures. She gives fun interactive assignments. She is very accessible via email and will always make time to help you gain better understanding.

GEOG 101L is a time-intensive course when you are taking it at the same time as GEOG 101. I suggest taking them during separate semesters. But the course was great, well organized, and Prof Pitts is easy to get in touch with. Keep an eye on deadlines and watch available lectures for labs.

LOVED HER AS MY PROFESSOR

Professor Pitts is the most amazing professor you will ever have. For lab, the assignments are there to help, not as mandatory grades. Responds fast to emails and great to talk to. If you're ever stuck, reach out for help. She cares about all of her students and makes sure to be the best teacher ever. I highly recommend her for all of your courses.

Professor Pitts is one of the greatest professors that I have come across, she is super sweet and does everything she can for her students. I will miss her humor and her witty answers when a student would ask a question. I appreciate her and everything that she has taught me these last 16 weeks. I recommend taking her class

Professor Pitts is a super amazing professor who is down to Earth and cares a lot about her students. She makes the class fun and easy especially if you do your work. She gets to know each of her students and does everything that she can to help them. If you are looking for a great class, then this one is for you.

Going into this class, I set my expectations very low and didn't expect much from the class. Each class, Professor Pitts broke my expectations and made me excited to come to class. When I did miss, I was sad and wondered what her lecture was like. Her high energy and kind spirit made class enjoyable. Take her class, you won't regret it. I'llmissit

Professor Pitts is a good professor. The class is very simple. Do your work, and you will pass. You have weekly quizzes, and they are not that hard. She also provides a textbook for you, and the quizzes are based on it. So, study the chapter, and the quizzes would cover it. Overall, the class is very easy, if you do the work.

Prof. Pitts made learning fun and helped clarify any confusion with any questions and was really funny and enjoyed being in her class :)

Overall, really funny and able to keep the atmosphere fun and positive. She encourages you to not take yourself so seriously sometimes. :)

Would take again and do more work than I chose to do, but a great and personable professor.

Lisa Pitts is a great teacher. Everything in her class is clear. If you do the work there is no reason for you not to pass.

She is the best geology teacher that I had taken at VVC. She is really hilarious with her humor and has amazing jokes that are funny if you understand them. She is really caring about you passing the class and encourages you to ask for help if you need to find the answer.

professor Pitts is attentive to her students she will spare time to help you understand the curriculum! she mad learning fun for me in the class , I had her for GEOGLAB101

Professor is an amazing professor. Her out of this world personality and her hands on approach presents a welcoming environment in a subject that can be sometimes boring. I am a full time worker in addition to being a student. If I can be in her class all day, I would. She truly is amazing. You'll love her.

Out of every professor that I was taught in this college, She is very straightforward and easier to adapt to in terms of learning style. I would recommend you all to take this with her if you do get the chance.

Professor Pitts, is an overall great professor. I have learned a lot during her class, however there is a lot of homework. She is very understanding and not a tough grader. There are chances to get extra credit opportunities. I would definitely recommend her class.

I really liked this professor she was funny and respectable. Only thing I would comment on would be the grading system. She would drop certain assignment which I didn't see or understand the pattern of it. However, she was responsive and was willing to answer any questions with a smile. Would recommend.

Professor Pitts is an engaging and understanding instructor. The material can be challenging, but with a little effort (and tools like Unstuck ai) you can succeed. The grading is fair, and she's always willing to help. Overall, a rewarding class.

There was a lot of quizzes and discussion posts every week, granted I took a 6 week summer course. Grading and expectations were well described and Professor Pitts is passionate about the subject so her lectures and knowledge were great.
