Reviews of professor Ann Laudati

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great lecturer that has a special ability to engage the entire class. Walked out of class feeling like I learned something new and really enjoyed her teaching and classroom style. Biggest issues centered around her preference for those well-versed in environmental politics and who speak up, if you're not either of those, beware.

Ann is the best professor I have had at UC Berkeley. She prioritizes creating an engaged learning environment and really cares about hearing your voice! Her grading can be tough and she is strict about attendance, but she is just looking out for you and your success in the course. Take this class if you want to be challenged!

Save yourself, don't take 138. Ann is nice, but the class was awful. Barely did the readings, and BSed my way through everything. Grading seems random, half the time I get perfect scores and half the time I get Cs. Lecture and readings aren't the worst, but geography majors won't learn anything new. An asinine and repetitive waste of my time, ugh.

Ann's class is hard, but it's the class that pushed me to actually think about the topic at hand rather than just read and repeat.

Ann is the best teacher I've had at UCB. She makes you engage with the readings and values discussions and class participation more than written exams, which I think is the best way to learn. She is trully inspirational and encourages a diverdsity of perspectives. I 100% recommend her!
