Reviews of professor Kiya Riverman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Kiya was a very good professor and overall person. Very easy to talk to and willing to explain things again. She explains most concepts in pictures and words which can be very helpful, and allows plenty of time to write down the slides. There are assignments and quizzes in every class but as long as you show up and pay attention they are easy.

The class was hard, but thats just because of the amount of information were covering throughout the term. There are opportunities for really fun field trips to both Crater Lake and the Oregon Caves. Sometimes the in class labs didnt always fit well with what was covered but Riverman and the GEs were always able to help. Tests are tricky so study!!

Kiya's class was ridiculous, no one that's not a geo major should take her class because you should not waste your time doing meaningless work for a meaningless class. The final project took forever to complete and you will realize you wasted useful time for important classes. In the end, she asked people to write reviews hence the good ones.

This class does require attendence, with her labs making up much of your grade. I genuinely really enjoyed the class, even if it just a gen ed for me and many others. She is extremely passionate and seems genuinely excited to be in the classroom. Any field experiences with her are worth it because of this. She is very willing to go over all topics.

I personally didn't like her. She was rude to students who would come in late, including me, who had a class before hers way across campus. She also puts together her powerpoints the morning before class. They are disorganized and hard to follow, she goes quite fast and looks at her slides in awe after she goes over them before moving on.
