Reviews of professor Anna Patterson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
GEO119- Required website/textbook purchase, it is not hard just so many assignments/quizzes/video discussions due bi-weekly. Everything is available from the start of the course. She does provide examples for the 5 Write ups due of the semester which was an easy A. 16 chapters with 4 quizzes each, no exams and a few video-discussion assignments.

Prof Klimaszewki-Patterson is lecture heavy (come to class!), so she tries to keep students involved with an interactive program for Q&A and mock section quizzes. There's about 15 quizzes (she keeps your highest 10 scores), 3 exams, a final exam, and an ongoing project (2 drafts, final submit) throughout the semester. Follow along, you'll get an A.

Prof Patterson classes can be challenging if you don't attend them. I took her python class the first time she's taught it and it was a very difficult classes. But she is very reasonable when it comes to grading and is always available in her office when you need help. She also responds to email very fast. So put in the effort and you'll succeed.

DO NOT TAKE this professor for GEOG 119 - Online. The amount of assignments was ridiculous. All these other reviews must be for a diff professor . You have writing assignments and tons of homework! We had 19 assignments due in one week. They are not hard but super time consuming when this is only a general b5 course.

If I had to choose one word to describe professor Patterson, it would be "reasonable." The way the class is structured, how assignments are graded, it's all designed for students to succeed. This was by far the most difficult class I've taken at Sac State, but it was doable because Patterson was so accommodating.

She uses TopHat and takes attendance every class. 16 quizzes through tophat she drops the lowest 6 scores. Total of 4 exams, lowest score gets dropped. Make sure you do the worksheets that she hands out because they are always on the exams. She gives a study guide as well.
