Reviews of professor Julia Showalter

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is one of the most understanding professors I've ever had. Yea you have to put in effort and actually know information for the tests, and you've got about 2 papers the whole class, but it's nothing unexpected for a college class. I'd definitely recommend her if you get the chance.

Not a hard class, but not a fun one either. Showalter is not a great lecturer, going on lots of tangents and referring to her personal experience. The tests are incredibly easy, even if you do not take notes during the lectures. Vague grading rubrics that she uses strictly, and one large group project.

Julia is an amazing instructor with a passion for the environment. Class discussions are encouraged and very important. There are exams and papers and she gives great feedback on your work and wants her students to thrive.

Mrs Showalter is one of the best professors I've taken here at Appalachian. The class I had wasn't hard (ecology lab), and she always listens to anything you have to say. As long as you pay attention and don't miss class it's impossible to fail. 10/10 would take again.

Horrible professor! Avoid at ALL COSTS! Class supposed to be WID, but there are 4 Exams and only 2 papers! Didn't feel like I learned enough for what I paid for the class. This professor should definitely NOT be teaching. Perhaps field research would better suit her. Don't try to reason with her on renewable energy, she won't budge!
