Reviews of professor Angeline Catena

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She only gives tests and quizzes for points. She gives out study guides that are not very helpful. I had studied them for hours and still struggled with the tests and quizzes that were every week. There is no homework nor projects to boost your grade. Geology is known for generally being easy, this was very far from easy. Dont take this class.

lectures are very thorough and organized. prof catena includes drawings and diagrams to help make the material understandable. she's responsive to emails and was helpful by giving extensions if you reach out. i took this class to fulfill a requirement, but found it interesting and learned a lot. i'd recommend angeline if you have to take geology!

Really liked the class. Leaned about a lot of fossils I never knew about. Exams are not super hard if you take notes and ask her stuff

Class is def lot harder than I thought it would be, it moves pretty fast but she will help if you ask her/email. Also, I had some life stuff come up because of covid (had to move quickly) and she didn't take off pts for late work after I let her know my situation.

I took Geology to satisfy general education requirements and did not expect to like it a lot. Professor Catena did an excellent job making lectures enjoyable and accessible should you have questions. She is an outstanding professor and a great human. 1 chapter per week with lectures and a short 5-question quiz. Four tests throughout the semester.

no more science for me

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She doesnt deserve her low rating as she has made Earth Sci. super interesting and easy to understand. Im rarely bored because of her engaging lects. but I understand how easy it is to fall behind in this class and it is quite difficult if youre not taking notes during lectures because there are exams after every unit. This class moves v quickly!

I took her class last semester. It was challenging but I think she made it fun. I'm not interested in geology but she made it seem interesting. It was a good class

350 CHARACTER'S ISNT ENOUGH TO DESCRIBE THE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE THIS CLASS IS. SAVE YOURSELF DO NOT TAKE IT. QUIZ ONCE A WEEK AND MIDTERM ONCE EVERY 3 WEEKS. ASKED WHAT TO STUDY FOR QUIZZES AND MIDTERMS AND SHE SAID THE HOMEWORK BUT NONE OF THE HOMEWORK IS EVER ON THERE, NOT ONCE. TRIES TO BE FUNNY NO ONE EVER LAUGHS I LAUGHED ONE TIME FOR HER SAKE
