Reviews of professor Freddi-Jo Bruschke

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I personally loved Dr. Bruschke. She's super passionate about geology, but her lectures are PACKED full of info. The thing I love about this class is: tests are all online, no mid-term or final, lots of extra credit opportunities, grade isn't entirely based on exams. Just show up to class and take notes and you'll do good.

I would not recommend it. On the first day of class, she said we were already behind. She lectures most of the time and gives little time to finish lengthy assignments. She is accommodating with late work which is nice. It is difficult to keep up with lectures because there is a lot of useless information. She is a tough grader.

She is a difficult grader & even in lectures she goes over pointless information that isn't needed. I basically had to teach myself this whole semester, corona virus or not. She said that she accepted late work, but in my grade book she didn't bother grading them OR THE STUFF I TURNED IN ON TIME. She give too much work that she can't keep up with.

No! No! NOOO!! such a tough grader, often got sidetracked, behind multiple weeks so lectures were always rushed. Blamed the class MULTIPLE times that we were the reason that she was so behind... yet she was the one rambling off topic many times. So many assignments every week, so little time. Once you fall behind, it is impossible to catch back up.

Great professor, fun lectures, and only four total exams. No final or midterm because they are replaced by the four exams, which are spaced out throughout the semester. Her grading isn't tough, but there is a lot of reading one has to do. Overall, she's a great person and she loves the subject, all which made me enjoy learning from her.

I gave Dr. Bruschke 2 and not a 1 just because she is caring and accepts late work when you ask, but you just have to communicate with her. I gave her a 4 in difficulty because she is just not a good teacher and gives wayyy too much info in her lectures, and the BUSY work made the semester super cumbersome. Avoid her if you can.

This professor is very nice, caring and understanding. I'm not a big test person and I didn't do really well on the exams, but she gives a ton of EC. She gives the option for participation points or 1 comprehension exam at the end of the semester. Participation isn't mantaory, but I recommend doing the quizzes, homework on time, and the notes.

Good professor. Class structure is very straight forward. Around 1-3 hours a week of assignments that have to be done online every week due on Sundays. Professor is caring and easy to access, overall the class is pretty good and takes a bit of effort to get an A.
