Professor Carey is great! Her lectures are interesting and interactive, she is accessible outside of class and very helpful in case you have any doubts.

Horrible experience, she's rude if you don't have your camera on in class, if you tell her you're sick she doesn't believe you, and if you participate "enough" in the class you will still receive an email from her saying you need to "try more" and if not you get a bad participation grade. Beware!!!!! Please do not take her. Midterms were horrible!

like a mom. She's rly good at making lectures interesting for business students. just study for exams and you'll do good. She also curves up if class average is low. take her.

Dr. Carey co-advised my senior project at BU (thesis class for credit) and I worked with her for a couple years afterward to revise and eventually publish that project. She made time for me even when she was super busy and gave excellent comments on my writing. She's fair and balances constructive criticism with praise. Would def work w her again!

She definitely expects you to show up to class and do the work (not a lot of chances for extra credit if you slack off), but she is great at creating activities for class and teaching useful material. As far as NST goes, it's prepping you for actually understanding some science

I took this class a few years ago and still recall information I learned! Not often do you get to take a class that aligns with your interests outside of business at Babson, and if you are fascinated by the 70% of ocean that covers the Earth, this class is for you! She curates the class to include historical lessons as well as current events!

Has zero understanding of business but deep understanding of oceanography. Although she cares about her subject deeply, her lectures are boring and she does not know how to appeal to her students.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took this class because I heard that oceanography was an easy class. BIG MISTAKE! She wants you to struggle and learn, but I find it ridiculous since this is a business school and not a STEM school. So many homework and is so hard to get good grades

Professor Carey was my favorite professor. She was available outside the classroom to help. She is extremely knowledgeable and understanding. Her exams were completely based on the lectures and not too difficult. Great course of what oceanography is and how it relates to business and sustainability. She is great. You should take her class.
