class is informative, but was deceiving at first. the first test, i didn't even study for and got an 89. the second one, i studied hard and failed. nice interactive, wellinformed teacher.

Pretty cool teacher, very easy to get along with. Her class is informative, but her tests are a little challenging.

Lynn was very laid back, but she really got down to business when it came to quizes and exams. You will not get by without doing your homework or reading your book, so be sure to do that if you want a good grade. She is an execellent teacher though!

GREAT PROF.

I was really not looking forward to this class, but Lynn is AWESOME. She's really funny and makes class fun, even though the subject is kinda boring.

Lynn's really easy to talk to outside of class, really helpful. Every so often she seems to get side tracked, but once class gets going it's great. And a three-hour, once-a-week class with her gets cookies. You can't beat that.

Great Prof, inside and outside of class. Loves U2, cookies, and messing with tall basketball players.

great teacher,tests are pretty easy but, watch out for those writing prompts.

Great teacher! She makes it a point to get to know her students... all 200 of them! If you go to class and take notes you should pull a B without any problem.

Great teacher and a wonderful person! She's so easy to get along with and tries really hard to get to know every single one of her students. Her class was relatively easy -- just get ready for a lot of memorization.

She is a wonderful teacher who has opened my eyes and is never afraid to teach us a different view about something, no matter how risky it is.

This class was just an elective filler for me but Lynn makes it really interesting and she's a great person. She is really passionate about what she teaches and you should definately take her!

Very easy class. Each test is about a certain area of non-western world (sub-saharan africa, south asia, SE asia, etc...) which usually consist of a chapter a piece. Just skim through the chapters and go to class and listen.

Phillps is tight, she keeps it interesting. Lots of notes so take a laptop but lecture is still fairly entertaining. Gives lots of grades to boost your exam scores. take this class!

what a cookie monster. loves Free Tibet. Lynn tries to be cool by blasting music and dancing around to it before class. study the BOOK! most of your exam questions will be on it. hardly anything from class is on the test besides ?s from the movies. know your map. that means all the countries and capitals. which suchs learning all of Africa

She is extremely helpful in office hours. She definitely clears everything up if you visit her before a test.

Amazing

good class. solid teacher. lynn is who you want for geo 160

Loved her

She rocks....

Good class...gets off TOPIC!..a lot of test material is not covered in class so it makes it hard to study! Homework and Writing Assignments are really helpful for studying!

fun and conversational, strays off topic but covers pretty much everything that will be on the tests, I found them easy without much study. Just go to class and pay attention and you will do fine.

i got an A in this class, but read my entire text book. If u are not willing to do this, do not take this class- or you will fail. If u are willing, read about 10 pages a day and take notes. The night before the test review the notes and u will do just fine!

I loved this class, she is a strict teacher but you get used to it. I learned so much in this class, and she makes it interesting!

Not awful, not great. She told us that we didn't need to read the text for the first exam, then about 10% of the questions were from the text. The tests aren't killer, but they aren't cake either. The quizzes are at-home but they take a lot of time and are somewhat challenging. The class is pretty interesting and Lynn is very friendly. Class is ok.

Lynn is a character, that's for sure. She's very friendly and funny. I love going to her class, however she has a really hard time staying on topic. Also, her knowledge on the environment wasn't very solid. All you really have to do is read the notes she posts online, skim the book, and do the online quizzes.

Middle of the road class. Ms. Phillips is a good and engaging teacher, it's just the material is boring as can be. Tests are not too hard, but not easy by any means. Studying is defiantly required. I would suggest Ms. Phillips as a teacher, but GEO 160 you should pass on if at all possible.

The class material can become boring at times but Lynn does the best to keep it interesting. She is fun and not too strict. Her exams can be a little bit difficult but she posts all the notes and information on blackboard. If you study a little bit, this class is an easy A

She is a very nice lady and really knows and is interested in what she is teaching, but makes her tests very difficult. They are definitely not 100 level class tests. You MUST read and understand all of the chapters and be prepared for very hard, confusing questions.

Very nice person and helpful with things outside of class if you are truly interested in how local government works. However, she is not a very easy teacher. She grades writing very hard and has almost incomprehensible notes she gives you. She also expects you to read more than grad students.

I've taken Lynn for both 160 and 235, and it's obvious that those who recently reviewed her either didn't go to class, read the book, or both. This is college, you have to make the effort in order to do well. Her exams are really not bad at all if you study. Reading is a must, as most of the exams come from the book. Her classes truly aren't hard.

Dr. Phillips is very nice and can be VERY helpful if you seek her out during office hours. Tests are all from reading the textbook but you can learn a lot of what you're supposed to know by going to lecture and taking notes. Don't be a baby about maps, learn them. She notices when you don't show up to lecture. This course can be very interesting.

I liked this class, but the way that it was taught I thought that i could just study on my own and not go to class, But i found myself not studying at all. It is very interesting, i would recommend this class, but only if you plan on going to class.

This professor is a total sweet heart. If your a student who tires real hard and goes to her office hours she'll help you out. Although I found her test to be extremely hard. But her class is very interesting even for people who really don't have an interest in geography. For the test you have to read the text book to get above a D on her test.

She is so sweet! She ALWAYS walks into class with a smile on her face and sometimes gives out candy. I did not always go to lecture because they aren't mandatory, but the recitations are. The only reason I got an A in the class even though I didn't go all the time was because I read every chapter that we covered. Interesting class too!

I loved her as a professor, very personable, but the class was way harder than it should be. Don't take it expecting it to be an easy elective. I went to every class, read every chapter, and met with my TA a couple of time and still ended up with a B. However, her lectures are normally pretty interesting.

HARD TESTS , NICE TEACHER AND REALLY HELPFUL , TAKE THIS PROF IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY , SHE IS GOING TO HELP YOU AND IF YOU WORK A LITTLE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A B OR AN A

Lynn is by far my favorite professor I've had at UK. Took her for GEO which was a requirement. Didn't think I would like the class but she made me LOVE it. I would definitely recommend her! Tests weren't too hard. Recitation was required but if you get a good TA, it'll be fun and interesting.

You definitely need to study and work hard for your grade. She's a VERY nice person and will work with you! Going to her office hours helps so much. She gives one big paper but it's pretty open and isn't too bad. Her tests are very tough though. Her expectations for the class are not very clear but every point counts.

Lynn is a great professor. Very active in the class and the community. I have taken two classes Geo406 and intro to urban planning. The field study class was a blast and very hands on and interactive. Urban planning is interesting but the night class makes it hard to stay awake at times. Her classes are not that hard if you read.

Lynn is one of the best teachers I've had at UK thus far. She is incredibly nice, personable, compassionate, understanding, liberal, open-minded, and a true individual. I am not a fan necessarily of geography but she made the class possible for me to do well in. She is always willing to help if you ask. You really have to come to class/get book!

Best Professor I have ever had and this is my 3rd year in school. Lynn is always willing to help you and is very negotiable. The tests have a lot of material from the lecture and the book. Although attendance is not mandatory, coming to class will help on the exams. Do your work and come to class, stop by her office a few times and youre good.

My favorite professor of my first year hands down. interesting coursework and topics so you won't care about the work (there's a decent amount). Overall she's really kind, just show up to class and do work and its an A.

Its hard to explain Lynn. I LOVE her. I usually hate class set up like hers but man shes such an amazing teacher. If you give her a chance to open up, shes fantastic. I suck at school and I got a B. It wasn't easy but Lynn made it worth it. I think shes a cool AF. Get the textbook and read it. You'll be fine. Shes chill if you're real with her.

Im rating this professor with all honesty. She IS AWESOME! Reading all the previous reviews, I was hecka nervous for myself because you guys scared me. What the heck, first day in class and shes awesome! Maybe the reviewers dont care to learn about the environment/policy. The class Im in hasnt been taught in a couple years.

I took this class for a UK core and it has been the easiest class I've ever taken. Phillips is the nicest, most caring person, and she was very accommodating when I had mono. This class is an easy A if you read the textbook; it's all memorization.

Really cool teacher who cares about the students she teaches. Not too much asked of you in the class but she made it enjoyable!

Lynn is the most caring and passionate teacher I have ever had. She cares so much about her students and cares that we can use this information to be better citizens. She wants us to learn and succeed both as students and people. I wanted to please her. She was so passionate about her subject and made all of her students excited too.

I really enjoyed taking this professor. Lectures are not mandatory but are highly recommended. Although her lectures could sometimes stray off topic she covers everything that is on the test. She is a really nice professor and cares about her students sucess.

Lynn has been one of the best professors Ive had at UK. She had been very caring and understanding during this weird online semester. Lectures can be interesting when she talks about her experiences. Weekly papers but they arent super hard and dont take long. Standard 3 exams. Youll be fine on exams/quizzes if you listen in class

I really felt enjoyed this course. I highly recommend listening to her lectures, they are extremely informative. Her TA did grade pretty unfairly, however I never got a grade below a C. If you put in a standard amount of effort, you will finish with an A or B. Make sure to turn in assignments on time and you will be set!

This class was not too difficult, I however was not interested in the topic but the professor made it better. She is very kind and understanding but does not let late assignment slide. Her exams are noticeably more difficult that the class work but if you are looking for an easy B, I recommend this class.

Professor Phillips was great but my oh my was the TA unfair at grading. The first 6 weeks were fine but then she just started grading papers with no feedback and they were not the best grades. Honestly a little heated that I never even received feedback for some of these grades. If there is a new TA I would 100% take this class again.

Professor Phillips was amazing! You can tell she really just wants her students to know more about the world and what is happening outside of our own bubble. She made class interesting always, and the topics for weekly assignments were as well! However, the TA did not grade the weekly assignments fairly and rarely gave feedback.

Lynn is an absolute queen. Get to know her well, and the class is so much better! She may be strict on policy, but she is someone I feel like I could be friends with on the low. Her lectures never fail to keep me engaged. Great course, great professor.

She says attendance is necessary, but if you do the readings you'll get by fine. not much homework at all besides one easy assignment every week. Maybe one or two quizzes in the semester, all online, exams are very easy.

All exams are based on things she says in lectures so if you come to class, you'll do well. She's a super understanding teacher & if you make an effort you'll easily pass. The textbook isn't necessary & theres only one assignment per week. She's a super sweet lady who wants to see kids put the effort in to succeed.

Dr. Phillips is very sweet. She often talks about being a mom, and that is often apparent in the way she asks students questions about their lives and how they're doing. The textbook is helpful to have because many of the quiz/test questions pull from it. There isn't much for this class and you learn about several different environmental topics.

Dr. Lynn is an amazing and caring person, but the Class is not easy.

Lynn is an amazing lecturer. While attendance is not mandatory showing up to class is very important to do well on the exams being that the class is very exam heavy. You can tell that she cares about all of her students and genuinely wants them to do well. She also makes her lectures very engaging. I wish all of my classes could be taught by Lynn.

This class was pretty easy. Attendance was not mandatory but she is very lecture heavy and if you show up you can pass the class. I would recommend going anyways. She is a great professor and her work isn't that difficult either. She recommends the book for class but it's not required by any means. Just a good class to take.

I have taken every class Lynn offers and I can't recommend her enough. Great professor, an even better person and mentor.

Dr. Lynn was the highlight of my day every time I had her class. I found the content relatively difficult but she wads always available and made time to talk to me, whether class related or just about life. She genuinely cares for all of her students.

Super awesome professor that is really knowledgeable about the subject. Exams are kind of difficult as the questions are pretty specific so take notes and pay attention. There are 3 exams with 40 multiple choice questions each that are worth a total of 40% of your grade. Almost no homework but the TA grades them way too harshly.
