PH159 is an upper-division class. It's supposed to have a lot of work. Just do your work and you will get a good grade. The small assignments leading up to the final proposal are very helpful.

Great professor! She inspired me to try to purchase more sustainable products. She is very nice and the class is pretty easy. We have a group project about brands that greenwash, a paper on community environmental hazards, and in-class activities. Attendance is taken. Weekly discussions. Assignments almost every week.

Great professor! Read materials before class to come prepared. I loved her lectures! Never felt bored and her group projects were fun!

Prof. Doyle is super sweet. The class consisted of 3 major assignments, two essays, and one group project. Her class this semester consisted of a few asynchronous days with prerecorded lectures, which, if you like, online class, was super helpful. She has strict grading criteria, and she can be a tough grader, but if you follow it, you'll be fine.

This class is so much work for an elective. She requires too many papers and grades way to harsh. This class is not even mandatory, I took it because I thought it would be a good class to take and learn more about my major! BIG MISTAKE! Her exams are hard and she lectures the whole class, basically remember her lectures if you want to pass!

She's a nice person, but half the time I don't understand why she gives the amount of work she gives. Too harsh for an elective class, way too many projects and papers to write. Lectures are not really the best. She goes off-topic with the assignments she gives us.

I used to enjoy her classes but recently she's been talking to her students like they're literal children. It's weird and annoying.

Really nice professor. She does have a lot of assignments to do in class but they are super easy. She gives study guides for exams and you're set if you study that. There are some papers that she grades really easy on. I would say her lectures are not that helpful. She talks about easy topics but gives more specific questions on the exam so study!

Don't understand why this professor has so many negative reviews. Probably because people are too lazy to do any work. Professor Doyle is one of the nicest teachers I have had in my past three years at SJSU. She is very understanding and every assignment has very clear directions. As long as you do the assignments on time and put in the effort.
