her tests are difficult but passable. Average i would say.

She's good enough to keep you awake, but don't take her tests for granted.

If you just want a pass, stay away from her. You will learn geography .

I'll take any other course she teaches if I can.

You think you're doin' alright until you get your first test grade back, and then its all downhill from there.

She's very good, but she'll bust your chops if you don't put in the time and effort. In other words, don't plan on skating through this course.

Geography ought to be made a required course in hter class. She is very goood.

Dr. Trusty is extremely knowledgable and makes her expectations vividly clear.

One of the most interesting teachers I have ever had. I would take her class again anyday. She was very excited about the subject and this made it more exciting for our class.

Smart, bright and brilliant. if you don't take her classes ... you are missing OUT!

great teacher, intellegent and not too difficult

Dr. Trusty is great. She is alot of fun and the laughs never stop. There is a large project in this class, but she is there for anyone who needs help. I plan to take any other classes that she teaches. You got to take one of her classes.

I would highly recommend taking this teacher. She offers a lot of extra credit and makes the subject enjoyable.

Good instructor, very enthusiastic about her subject and makes the class interesting. There is a big project, If you do it early, let her review it, change what she says to change, your going to get a good grade. Wait til night before, your in trouble. I would take another class from her.

she is a good teacher.

Great Teacher...Enjoyed so much I took both her classes World Regional Geography and Cultural Geo

She is enthusastic about the sbject. She correspond history with modern issues. The project is hard and time comsuming. she is a good teacher.

Amazing Class! Not boring at all

Great Teacher ,can do with out the project, but not hard tests are very EASY. Never Studied for one and got A's on all

Amazing Class! Not boring at all. Oh and het test are not hard...its all right from your notes and the book! And the project, well do it like she says (during the semester, then you will be ok)

She is a fun teacher and make class easy. study and you will do fine

great teacher!

Great lady, hated the project, but nice class, take it

the one who said tests were hard is the one on drugs. EASY Class, have to be dead or never there to fail.

Project was time consuming but very interesting. She's very passionate about the subject and you can tell in her teaching. Pay attention in class and attend and the class is easy. DO PROJECT and you will have no problem getting an A. It's easy to get her to do group quizzes also

Fun class. A+

This is a tough class. Quiz every class. We had two big projects. Tests were hard. If you are an "A" student you better work harder. If you are a "B" student worker even harder. If you are a "C" student you better hope you pass. She is passioniate about this subject. Very good teacher, excellent. She does laugh alot and jokes with students

Not an easy class! Dr.Trusty is a very nice lady but leaves no room for slacking off! If u r looking for an easy A...this is not the class for u! The project is very time consuming but is interesting if u take the time to do it! Quiz almost every class. Quizzes are easy tests are not! Just be ready to study ALOT~ After all...this is college!

she is a good teacher. her projects are very time-consuming, but tons of flexibility. her tests are mainly based on what she teaches on rather than what's in the book. excellent explainer and lecturer. i would take her again.

I was dreading this class but ended up really liking it. I took it in the summer so we didn't have to stick with the same country for the project. She is very approachable and understanding as long as you give her a chance. There are a lot of quizes on the reading. I thought she was a great teacher.

Fun class, super instructor.

She's a good lecturer, and I love how she explains. Her tests are mainly based on what she lectures, rather than what's in the book. Her quizzes are not that hard either. Her projects are time-consuming, but she's not so strict on grading them. Remember to give tons of details in the projects, and you'll get full points. fun class!!

Dr. Trusty is GREAT Her love for geography makes her class fun and so enjoyable.She ties in everything around you to geography and that is something I never thought about.If she writes is on the board, you should write it down.She goes over things for the tests before hand and her quizzes arent bad either. Great personality and loves discussion.

She was a lot of fun! Very interesting class, I enjoyed it. She's always up for a discussion. Come to class, take notes, you'll do okay.

Easy class! Make sure you read the key issues. Other than that, there is not much to worry about. I recommend her!

She is a good teacher

You must read. Quiz at start of ea class on reading material. Quizzes okay. Tests harder. She tries to find who knows their stuff w/the multiple choice. I got an A in the class. She is enthusiastic about geography. Explains well. If she puts it on the board, write it down! Gives great reviews b4 tests. I enjoyed the 3 projects.

Awesome teacher! Her test are no joke. She can make a multiple choice test that will make you sweat. Take notes! Listen to her lecture. The book is used, but she knows her stuff. I liked her. Prolonged illness kept me from doing better in her class. She is fair, but hardly in her office for questions.

This class is so fun. She is hilarious. Work is pretty clear and easy, at least one quiz a week over the reading..our class we got to do it in groups. we also did 2 reports/projects that were interesting and not hard at all, you'll get a good grade if you follow the instructions! 100% recommend this class!

AWESOME professor! I can't wait to take her World Regional Geography next semester! Mrs. Trusty makes geography very enjoyable! TAKE THIS CLASS!!!

Awesome teacher, hard tests. Completely changed how i look at maps and landmasses. Also went on the trip for credit, leadership on trip was vague but got an A on my projects anyway.

Dr. Trusty is amazing! Her lectures are so interesting, I didn't want class to end. The tests really weren't that bad, I got all A's. Just read the text book.

I loved this class! The professor was enthusiastic about everything she said, and it showed! The tests are the main grades, so study and do well on those, and you'll get an A.

Dr. Trusty has been my absolute favorite teacher since I've been at TCC. She inspired me to change my major, and helped guide me into the idea of teaching. I took her for two classes & would take her for more if I could. I thinks she is an A++. Do take her class if you can!!

knows her stuff....one of the best I've had,,,attend class, take notes, and complete projects...

She is an amazing teacher. her favorite question is "why?" and if you take her you will understand what i mean. She is very helpful, friendly, and her tests are fairly easy as well. I WOULD recommend her to anyone wishing to take her class

She is the best! Love the class.

Dr. Trusty is a genius in my opinion. She knows her subject backwards and forwards. The only thing I didn't like was the use of the internet companion site to the book. It was hard to navigate. There were some immature kids that ruined the class too. Thought they were in HS I guess. I had to drop due to personal reasons, but I really liked the Doc.

Dr. Trusty was absolutely fantastic. I had her class in the summer and just missed taking her World Geo class in the Spring. There is no guesswork to her, read the material, listen in class and have fun.

Incredible!She was my favorite teacher this semester!Super helpful and willing to bump your grade up.I wasn't intrested in this subject at all before,but her class fasinated me every day.Never boring.She clearly knows what shes talking about,makes the class fun with some jokes her,great attitude.TAKE HER :) Shes an amazing teacher

Had her for World Regional Geography. She's so much fun! I enjoyed her class every day I was there! I swear she knows everything! Definitely take her, you won't be disappointed.

I lived her class and she made me start asking why all the time take her class and you won't regret it because she knows what she is teaching!!!!!

My favorite teacher. Really nice lady, knows exactly what she's talking about and not too hard! I learned so much more than I expected! Class is fun and interesting! Do the work and it's an easy A! I nearly made an A+ in both of her classes!

She taught cultural and physical geography at John Brown University and these were two of my favorite classes. I was a poli sci major and still loved her classes. She is informative, smart, clear, and concise. I am now a Phd student in political science but am doing a masters in geographic information systems because she made geography relevant.

Absolutely loved Dr. Trusty! Take this class! There is a lot of material covered, but she ALWAYS is willing to help you go through notes and make sure you understand! Quizzes are done in groups and all test are multiple choice! I've definitely learned new things in this class! Awesome instructor!

I absolutely loved this class!!! I had already had an interest in geography before, but once I took her Cultural Geo class, I fell in LOVE with it. Be ready to take notes in class and read the assigned reading (not hard at all)! Get to know your classmates because it'll make going to class more enjoyable and getting/going over notes! It saved me!!

Loved the class and Dr. Trusty was very helpful.

I took her class over the summer and loved it! Her lectures are very informative, but they are actually quite fun as she encourages participation and class discussions. She makes the class very interesting as she is able to connect geography to history, religion, and current events. Just be sure to do your reading and study for tests!

She is a fantastic teacher! I didnt really have any interest in the class beforhand but she made it my absolute favorite class study for the test and you will do fine! I am not much of a studier which was my fault but seriously best class I have ever taken!!

Dr. Trusty is an amazing prof! Her lectures are interesting and the class is more than just rocks and lakes! i promise! i learned a lot! I would deff recommend taking her for any class she teaches!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing teacher. This is not an easy class. You do have to study hard and pay attention but I would take this class again!

Amazing teacher! Not easy teacher or class but she is so passionate and really wants you to think. Gives plenty of extra credit and always relates examples to real world. Try not to miss class - she does use the book but lectures are valuable. (tells you what to study)Don't be lazy & take very detailed notes. Love her!

She was really help and knew what she was talking about. The tests are usually multiple choice and true false. Their is outside reading but its not a lot. She does give out extra credit.

GREAT PROF! HIGHLY RECOMMEND, lecture account for info on exams, text book is what accounts for the quizzes. Great class!

interesting lectures/ clear information for exams/ several assignments for extra credit/ consider to be back for her class of cultural geography instead of taking humanities I.

Dr. Trusty is awesome. Each class she gives a lecture. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE EVERY SINLE NOTE!! Attendance isn't required, but she gives quizzes most classes, which can hurt if you don't take them. Not a lot of busy work, so you must do well on tests. She is by far one of the most helpful professors I've had. This class is NOT easy, but well worth it.

Her classes are discussions, or we watched videos. Make sure you take VERY good notes! Lots of quizes, but they're in groups and are over reading material. Her exams are hard! However, her class is very interesting and fun. Not sure I'd recommend her to people who don't study because I study a lot and barely passed her class.

VERY INTERESTING LECTURES VERY FUN TO ATTEND CLASS// CLEAR INFO FOR EACH EXAM// ALSO EXTRA CREDITS AND QUIZ HELP FOR BETTER PREPARATION FOR EXAM//I TOOK HER TWO CLASSES GEO 1043 AND 2033. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE CLASSES TO EVERYBODY.

Dr. Trusty is so intelligent and passionate about the subject. She is an AMAZING professor, and knows how to relate to her students. She encourages class participation during lectures, and keeps it very interesting. I was dreading this course but she sparked my interest in this subject, I wish she taught more classes!

I highly recommend this course and this instructor! She is extremely personable, knowledgeable and open-minded. The class isn't too difficult if you put reasonable effort into it. Take good notes! I highly suggest you buy the book NEW (paperback) so you'll have access to Wiley Plus for EXTRA CREDIT & clear explanations of geographical concepts.

VERY INTERTESTING CLASS TO TAKE// HIGHLY RECOMMEND

VERY INTERESTING CLASS TO TAKE/ HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I took this and another class, both were 4 weeks, at the same time and was still able to get an A. The class is easy if you read the book and do the papers. Dr. Trusty graded everything quickly and fairly. I had to email her several times because the online exam didn't grade my answer correctly but she has since gone to all multiple choice or T/F.

Very interesting class and I've never enjoyed any historygeography class! Sweetest teacher and very open and easy to talk to. Take good notes and all the quizzes will be based on the notes from the last day you took them along with the vocab in the pages she tells you it's over! TAKE HER CLASS! Love her!

She's awesome, sweet n fun! I love her class she makes it fun n exciting. She loves to teach. The good thing is quizzes are taken in groups so u don't want to miss class on any given days. Her tests are hard, study hard. 4 exam 1 map quiz. Final replace lowest grade but its only optional.

She's great you will like her. First day of class I was so so scared, but turns out I like her. 4exam 1map quiz easy just study. All four exam are pretty hard she likes to make her students think that's y. Study and take good notes! Quizzes r taken in groups so that's a plus. Do Extra credits it will help out if you don't do well on exam.

Take her you won't regret it. Study hard case her test are hard n take notes. There's extra credit given so take any opportunity u can to keep your grades. Not a lot of work just reading assignments here n there that's all!

She's really interesting to listen to. She lectures the whole period, but not in an annoying monotone way; she's very involved. I loved her course and would take her again. She's super sweet and she's easy to converse with. Taking notes is key, so show up to class. She gives reading quizzes which are easy points. Take her if you can.

Professor Trusty is truly one of the best teachers I have ever had, she is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her subjects which really comes through in her lectures making them very engaging. If you put forth effort in this course you will leave with so much, just make sure to attend all lectures and do the required reading (not much.)

A supreme instructor. She stands tall above most others at TCC; a genuine human being and an expert on the course material. Took her for Intro to Geography, would take every semester if I could. However, don't expect an easy A. She is very dedicated to hard work and attendance. If you have any interest in history or the world, you will love her.

If you are looking for an easy A this is NOT your class. Test are hard!!! Expect a Quiz every class period. You will learn a lot but it wont reflect on your grade.

I LOVE Dr. Trusty! My favorite teacher ever-I wish she had more than just 2 classes! Very knowledgeable of material covered & switches things up for each class. Quizzes in groups & tells you when & what to read-so no surprises. She will go above & beyond to help! Passionate about the subject & teaching! Dying to go to Europe with her one day!

You need to be in class to pass. Her tests are comprised from notes taken during her lectures. I wasn't looking forward to taking this class and ended up enjoying it. Quizzes are given over reading assignments, which help with grade. Make sure to read information. Prof. Trusty is helpful and wants her students to pass, be willing to work.

I loved taking her class! She gave us a lot of information but she always takes time to answer a question. I would not recommend missing her class if you can help it but she goes back over her notes at the beginning of each lecture so you will be prepared for the test. Take Dr. Trusty's class, she is a fabulous teacher and you not regret it.

She's great, be prepared to take quizzes but pretty easy as long as you read the material, take good notes and pass. She even let me borrow the textbook. Would recommend her.

Dr. Trusty is SO great. I made an A because her lectures were really fascinating and discussion based. She lets us take quizzes in groups and gives you chances to earn extra credit on her tests. If you want to get credit and learn something new, take her. She is my favorite teacher I have had in college so far and you will not regret it.

I didn't want to take this class when I first signed up, but at the end I loved it. DON'T SKIP CLASS, you can read the book to help but, she gives a lot of her own notes. She is very nice, easy to talk to. If you ever have questions, very easy to get a hold of. It's a great class but, you do have to work for it. She is one of the good ones!

Trusty is one of TCC's finest. She frames geography in a way that reflects the relationship between people and land, and it is one of the most fascinating classes I've ever taken. Grades are dependent on success on quizzes and tests, of which there is a learning curve, but she a great judge of her classroom and will give every chance to succeed.

Good class. A lot of reading. Very structured. Clear directions in the syllabus. Good information in the announcements and the weekly folder. Do the work and you should have no trouble passing this class.

Best couple classes I've ever taken at TCC, the material was interesting the interaction was great and I really enjoyed it. Definitely recommend taking her classes.

She's the best World Regional Geography teacher. I wish I could take her cultural class this semester but it's full. You will not regret her class. So much fun! You do need to buy the book. Group quizzes every Monday but they're super easy and she drops your lowest score.

I had her in the fall semester of 2017. She is a great teacher who I learned a lot of great study habits from. Lectures heavy but worth the listen, and do bonus points it will help.

Professor Trusty is not a demanding instructor but be aware of pop quizzes during her lectures. Notes and attending to class are very important. If you miss a class youll get lost. Her exams are multiple choices, true or false, fill in the blanks, and write a small paragraph or essay. The questions on the exams are reasonably fair.

She was amazing! She taught Cultural Geography so well!! You will need the book for sure.

Professor Trusty is a great professor. Take good notes because the notes will be so important for the fill in the blank tests. She really tests your knowledge of Geography and gives interesting lectures. You definitely have to work for an A but its a matter of putting in the work.
