Reviews of professor Elisa Geiss

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I literally never rate prof but Im making an exception. She is not a bad prof but she gives way too much work for a class. Its like her class is the only class the students are taking. Her tests are very hard and long. The average for midterm 1 was C+. I spent more time studying and doing work for this class than in my molecular bio. AWFUL PROF!!!!

So unorganized from the beginning of the semester, never graded anything on time and when she does grade she's extremely tough. Class consists of sitting there for 3 hours listening to her say "umm" every 2 seconds. 11 journals, 2 exams, quizzes each week, and 3 personal application papers. Be prepared to learn nothing during lecture & teach urself

I feel bad for writing a less than desirable review because Professor Geiss is a very kind person, but the amnt of work and the level of grading is absurd. Each wk you have a disc. post (requires outside research, reading, writing), reading on perusall (with comments), 1 quiz, & in-class assign (groups). Quiz ?'s are not from lecture or material

She is awesome. She is so passionate and really makes you want to learn. She is a pretty tough grader but tells you exactly where you missed the mark, and doesn't penalize too heavily. For once, group work actually helped the class and my learning as well as my enjoyment. Not a burden to do! Absolutely take her class! You won't regret it.

Loved Dr. Geiss. Only graded on 3 papers and 2 tests so SHOW UP cause tests are heavy on lecture and book material. Dr. Geiss does a GREAT job engaging with the class through different mediums which really helps. Tests are a little hard but if you go to class and study you'll be fine. She is super sweet, caring and approachable. Papers are so fun!

This was my second time taking her and I was still not disappointed. Weekly discussion posts with multiple prompts to choose from. Some quizzes. Participation points in lectures. Group projects that actually add to your understanding of the subject. Nothing was busy work, everything helped me learn. Do the work and you will pass!

Seemed like a new teacher. She was a bit unorganized and often asked us what we wanted to do in class. She always seemed flustered, like always. Very nice though. If you do all assignments and study for tests you'll pass. Kind of have to put some work in though.

Easy class to pass but very disorganized, takes really long to grade. Super super sweet prof. but just disorganized and lecture notes aren't the best. Sometimes have to look it up on your own. Not too hard to pass though. Just doesn't give the best material. Videos/readings every week, couple easy 2pg papers & one semester long group project.
