Professor Sit's enthusiasm for geophysics is contagious. Her teaching methods differ from those of most professors but they're effective nonetheless. The work load was a bit much but it is a 400 level class after all. I highly recommend taking a class with Professor Sit.

Really nice woman, makes a boring class somewhat interesting... Didn't read the book, just did the review assignments and listened in class and had a high A because of the curves... Anyone who does poorly and complains about her must not have paid any attention- she's one of the better teachers out there.

Professor Sit is a great teacher. She is really passionate and seems to always enjoy herself while lecturing. She is an extremely fair grader and gives you plenty of warning about what will be on the test. If you are willing to put in any work at all and attend class there is no reason you shouldn't get an a. Labs can be tedious.

She's a great teacher! very passionate and nice lady. Cares about students and gets to know them by name. Very heavy workload involving labs, prelabs, and review assignments. Mostly skips slides, just says the important parts. Interactive class, gives worksheets to guide in learning process. Gives clicker questions. Tests are on the tough side.

Professor Sit is an amazing teacher who really tries to get to know the students that she teaches. Her class is one that is very workload heavy, and you can expect a lot of online assignment, but you have a week before any of them are due so you have time do them. A major gripe I had with her is that she answers a lot of questions with maybe.

Professor Sit is so sweet. She is very understanding and her class is not hard at all. If you do all the work on time it will be an easy A. At the end of the semester they drop your lowest score from each section (like labs, review, quizzes, etc..) So its not a hard class. Just pay attention and take notes.

Sit is very understanding, she has a great attitude and loves science. The material is a bit heavy but she will help you pass, if you need any help she responds to emails quick.

Professor Sit is actually adorable. She was super smiley and friendly and it made for a comfortable class environment. There is one mandatory field trip, but it's actually pretty fun. Great class!

Professor Sit is fun and caring. She goes out of her way to interact with students and make the class go by as easily as possible. The material is super easy, you really don't have to come to class although I recommend it because it's fun. Be ready to memorize minerals and rocks in the labs. There is a mandatory field trip on a Saturday. Great Prof

She is fun and really cares about her students. Even though she can give a ton of reading we still have fun in class. She makes sure her students pass and is a very understanding person. There is a mandatory field trip but it actually is kinda fun. Remember to participate!

Ms. Sit is such a passionate and devoted educator. She loves the field she is teaching, you can tell by the energy she brings to class everyday. She is devoted to help each student understand the classroom material. If you are struggling on a assignment or a lab she will meet with you and help you do it. I highly recommend her.

Professor Sit is an interactive lecturer. She encourages think-pair-share and knows most of the students by name. It is relatively hard to get less than a B in this course due to the multiple opportunities to get your grade up. If you show up to lecture (iclicker is graded), lab, and turn in everything completed and on time you are guaranteed a B.

Professor Sit was very engaging and put major emphasis on active learning. This translated into classes being very Socratic based with questions and discussions. Many assignments are online ,which is convenient, all offer immediate feedback. Professor Sit was kind,understanding, and a great lecturer who tried her best to help struggling students

Professor Sit is a wonderful teacher. I learned that she is very caring and makes sure that everyone passes. She also spends a lot of time getting to learn the names of students, and she even interacts with students outside of class. She offers many choices to redeem your grade if you fall off, and she is very understanding of your situation.

She is always ready to help a student and clearly as a passion for her field. She is well-respected and last semester she even had students from previous years show up. She is caring and understands the needs of her students. She also is care-free and tries her best to boost morale and decrease stress levels of her students.

Professor Sit would take time out of her schedule to help students if they are struggling with class work. She wants to make sure that everyone is having fun and is enjoying the class. Would definitely recommend her to other students.

Professor Sit offers many opportunities to students through iclickers. She is really understanding and is willing to help students when they are struggling. There is also a mandatory field trip that you need to attend. Overall, it is a fun class and I loved the field trip.

Professors Sit is the most woman I have ever seen. Words cannot describe her passion for her students. I hope one day she will be the director of her field, I hope even more that she aspires to continue being the best she can be. The 3 months I spent in the class with her have gave me an impression lasting longer than eternity.

This professor is sooooo good!! I sometimes wished that I was an EaES major just to take her classes. Truly an inspiration to us millenials.

take this class. great teacher and really shows a passion for eaes. always ready to help

Awesome teacher! Would take again just for the professor. Is genuinely interested about students outside of class 2.

She is ALL about participation! If you need help just go to her office hours. She is always ready to help and her personality is so bubbly. Best EAES professor around!

I loved this class to death. Never missed a day! Professor Sit is by far the best professor I have ever had. Even though I am dropping out of college, I will leave knowing I have gained something out of my experience. God Bless Stefany Sit! Carpe Diem

Even though I have a 190IQ, I found this class intellectually stimulating for a 100 level class.

Great professor. Sincerely wants everyone to pass. Is very participation heavy and enjoys calling on random students. Very bubbly personality and loves what she teaches.

Her sense of humor may be awkward but it helps me remember so many more things. One of the most adorable and bubbly professors ever. She also offers a lot of easy extra credit assignments and is always ready to help outside of class.

:D Best ever. Cool. Chic. Charismatic

One of the most amazing professors I've ever had! Her course is not difficult as long as you do the work and her lectures are very enjoyable and informative. You'll actually learn something! She's also very caring and makes everyone feel great about being in class. Super friendly professor! I definitely recommend her.

Tries her best to make lectures entertaining. Really nice gal, you can tell she wants everyone to learn and pass.

One of the most genuine teachers I have ever had. She goes out of her way to make students feel good about themselves and their work. She does everything she can to help students in and outside of class. She always manages to keep things positive and welcomes anyone to her class.

Professor Sit is the Michael Jordan of teaching. Outstanding performance and presence in lectures.

Easiest class I have ever taken. Professor Sit is super engaging and cares about her students. The material is easy and you can learn everything from lectures.

Her lectures are amazing. She is a really nice person and always ready to talk to outside of class. It is always clear when her office hours are and if she will be gone for something. Very well thought out class and solid schedule.

Great teacher who makes class interesting and was a great clinical instructor. I would want to be in her clinical group any chance I got.

I can see why all the past reviews are usually 5 star ratings! One and a half months into the school year and love this class!!!!!!!

You have a review assignment, a prelab assignment, and a lab report due every week. If you don't buy the book but you have to go to lecture. Her attendance is based on iclicker questions. There's a mandatory field trip which if you don't go to you don't pass the class. If you're not into geology then this class will be extremely boring

Attendance sort of mandatory - better to go to understand what the lectures are about. I got lucky this semester because of the strike and didn't have to go on the mandatory field trip (really hard). Overall, she is very sweet and understanding. You have pre-lab due 8 am the day of your lecture and reviews due mondays at 8 am.

Stefany Sit was an amazing instructor. If you have the chance to take a class of hers I would highly recommend :)

Professor Sit was super cool. She had very good lecture recordings and the test were what you learned in class. Only reason I got a B was because of lab. Lab is not that hard but they are very tedious. Stay on top of deadlines and you will be good. Very interesting class too you wont get bored.

Prof Sit , and her dog, are awesome! Her lectures are very informative and she makes sure you really understand the things you learn in class. However, this course requires understanding A LOT of information and it can easily become overwhelming.

There is a lot of work for this class, so if you're just trying to fulfill a gen-ed, you might want to take 101. However, Professor Sit is very nice and on top of grading. The lectures are clear and sometimes her dog shows up on camera. She will drop multiple of your lowest scores.

Professor SIt is a great professor and an even better person! She is caring, flexible, and understanding, a refreshing change from other Professors. The mood is always bright around her and it creates a great learning environment. The course does require work, but it's really not all that bad... I think people make the workload seem more than it is

Took EAES 111 online and as part of my EAES major. She is very friendly and her lectures are straightforward for the most part. There is lots of work due each week but it's expected as part of my major. Lab was also not too difficult. She is very passionate about environmental sciences. I think she is a great professor overall.

Nice professor and good lectures. I don't know why people are saying she gives a lot of work because it takes around one hour a week to do everything. Other than that, show up to class and you should be fine.

Light coursework and easy class. Important to attend lectures to complete lecture assignments. The teacher is nice and learns student names. A good class to take to complete science prerequisite. Great class if you want to learn about rocks. If you attend the lecture you will be able to get a good grade.

She recommends getting the book, but it is really unneeded. Try to pay attention in lectures and keep up with the weekly assignments because they impact your grade more than you think.

I loved Prof. Sit! Her lectures are super easy to understand and she is really good at answering questions. She says to get the textbook but I didn't and did just fine cause her lectures are very informative. My TA was great as well and the labs are easy if you pay attention to the TA. There aren't lab write ups so it's mostly participation.

Professor Sit speaks to her students as if they're in preschool but I find it relaxing. Her lectures are easy to understand. There was a short, multiple choice quiz for each lecture, each allowing three attempts. If you attend lecture, these are easy. She makes an effort to learn everyone's name, making the class more welcoming and enjoyable.

She is very kind and wants people to participate in class. She will call on you even if you are not raising your hand if she knows your name, so if you go to office hours prepare to participate in class. The material is very simple, you can either take an exam or do a presentation and it's so easy to fulfill the guidelines.

Easily the sweetest and kindest professor I've met at UIC so far. If you actively listen and collaborate in lectures, you should be able to get an A. When I had to reschedule an exam, she welcomed me into her office, I took the exam, and we walked to class together and talked about movies. 3 assignments a week which all take roughly 10 mins + lab.

I loved this teacher and anyone who says otherwise didn't try in this class.I HATE SCIENCE but this teacher was really engaging and always ready to help out. She gave the AMAZING choice of taking the exam or making a presentation. The presentation isn't much easier because you have to understand what you are talking about, but good choice to have.

she really cares for her students and wants them to succeed.

Very kind professor who does a great job getting to know large classes personally. Although a bit off track sometimes, overall explains ideas clearly.

Super sweet and caring and makes sure to get to know students! The homework wasn't too bad. The exams weren't too hard, but I don't think she prepared us too well for them. I made a lot of friends in the class, though, and I really liked it. The pacing is good and you learn a lot.

This professor taught the class like it was a preschool class and I mean that in the best way possible. Having more difficult topics explained to me in that manner stripped them of their intimidating nature, and made harder subjects feel more approachable. The class always had a good vibe to it and tests were always straightforward.
