Reviews of professor Carlie Pietsch

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor expects you to already know all the information for the study review and doesn't even give out study guides. Expects you to be an actual geologist and be prepared for a 300 point midterm when all other assignments are 20 points. better off taking intro to chem to complete your gen ed credit.

Tests were too hard and she didn't really help us study. Her lectures went by too fast and we could barely keep up. The lab section is so much easier and understandable than the lectures.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She's extremely smart and requires a lot, but you will learn earth science, particularly interactions among different systems, extremely thoroughly. She is reasonable, and willing to try new things if there's a good reason. She solicits student feedback and uses it in current and future classes.

She doesn't give a solid study guide for exams but makes you walk around the class instead trying to answer questions you don't remember her teaching, then she wont even give you the answers to them. She didn't curve our exam even though the mean was like 160/300-- most peeps failed.

Out of all the classes I had this semester, this was truly the one that damaged by mental health the most. The fact I was so stressed out over a literal GE is ridiculous to me. The midterms were so bad and the study reviews did nothing to help, because she didn't even post answers or helped throughout the reviews. Honestly just save yourself.
