OCEANOGRAPHY
May 12, 2015

Extremely inconsistent and unclear on directions and deadlines. Often gives homework 1-2 days before it's due at random times during week. Poor communication. May as well not have deadlines because she gives extensions all the time. Easy class but the disorganization drove me batty! Definitely not college-level course work.

There were good discussions and alot of material was handed out besides just book material. Interesting class and always willing to help when she could

Incredibly nice professor, one of the best I've had in terms of feedback and providing further material that just keeps you engaged with the content. Pretty relaxed course with the assignments being easily managed.

One of the best professors I've had. You can tell Prof. Davis really cares about what she's teaching, and that makes the class enjoyable. There are weekly assignments/quizzes, and only about 3 exams. There is a lot of reading, but it helps a lot. Overall, I would 100% take another class from her!

She's very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does, but this class was agonizingly tedious and boring. She made an interesting subject into a chore.

I really appreciate this prof. Ive had 3 of their classes now: Ocean Studies, Geology of the National Parks, and Geo of the NP Lab. She has always been extremely understanding & kind when it comes to grading & expectations. She always offers opportunity for extra credit, & makes it a point to exude passion for the topics they teach. Love them!!

Easy and straightforward, but be prepared for around 18-20 articles or videos per week. Feels like prof doesn't realize we have others classes and things going on, but overall an easy class.

A very nice teacher and understands that things happen. Will take late work and give full credit. A great professor and will help you understand the material if you don't. Will respond to emails very quickly even on weekends and late at night. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!!

Such an amazing Professor! Every week you have to read a chapter (you can watch her lectures and be fine), answer 15 multiple-choice questions, do a summary of an article, and do a simple discussion. You should be fine as long as you stay on top of your work. She always had something nice to say about my summaries and personalized her responses!

The biggest compliment I can give Prof. Davis is that she provided many high-quality resources to learn Earth Science and Oceanography. However, she was a geologist teaching the ocean and it showed. I hope that in the future she studies this material more knowledgeable about water and its processes. With that said, she is a fantastic professor.

I took Ms. Davis' Introduction to Ocean Studies class and had a blast. She is truly passionate about what she does, and while there were a lot of homework assignments, it never felt like a chore because they were about interesting topics, and you got to write your own opinion on them. She is so sweet and caring; please take one of her classes!

Professor Davis was very kind and accomodating this past semester (Fall 24) when handling various issues out of her control. The ESCI1610 Lecture is 3/assignments a week with an assigned reading. Do not skip the supplementary materials and you should be fine. She communicates well and offers extra credit. Easy A if you put in the work & great prof.

Michelle Davis is one of the BEST professors I have ever had. She made earth science digestible and fun to learn! She is also very patient, flexible, and has great communication skills! I looked forward to meeting her every week for the lab! The lab we used was in beta testing, so it's not the greatest... but the kinks are being worked out!

Professor Davis is an amazing professor. Even though there were technology issues during the online lab class during the fall 2024 semester. Professor Davis was very flexible with assignment deadlines. Professor Davis also offered online help sessions to help students work through assignments.

She is an amazing professor and super understanding. I had her for a national parks and lab. With the lab portion as long as you did them she really didn't care when you turned them in. She had extra credit assignments all the time worth 20 points. Discussion boards but you don't have to responds to others. This class is so flexible.

there were many headaches with scheduling meetings with her, and general communication. she left 10 things left as ungraded and were counted as 0 for the final grades. After emailing her 4 hours before the final grade I passed the class barely. would not recommend

She had great communication. Sure, she had some technical issues but don't most teachers do? Our times to do meetings never lined up so I just frequently emailed her and had no issues. She usually replied within minutes and fixed any issues I had. She also read all my assignments submitted and actually commented on them, always positive feedback.

I took her for ESCI 1050 and I would take her again if I needed to. She is kind and caring and genuinely wants you to understand the information. Her class is not hard and she gives back good feedback, if you do the weekly work you will be good. Take her!
