Reviews of professor Stephanie Gdovin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I think she's great at teaching the material, her exams are THOROUGH. She's extremely lecture heavy so if you're not good at taking notes rip. She doesn't offer any written form of the material online, no reviews either. If you miss even 1 class rip, make friends quick in the class to share notes. Her research article quizzes are oddly difficult

This class's exams are graded heavily and attendance is mandatory. If you have a job, this class could be a problem. Every meeting time is in breakout rooms with other students rather than lecture or going over the material. 3-11 videos per week, each about 15-30 minutes so prepare to set half of your week aside. Very knowledgeabl but lecture heavy

If you miss a class, theres a chance you wont understand the test. She uses a doc cam and writes notes in a journal while lecturing. Its very useful but does not provide this outside of class or give a review so you have to be there. Shes straightforward and her lectures are interesting with examples. Extra credit opportunities are provided.

She doesnt teach. Required zoom attendance but all we ever did was wright questions for each other ( 7 of 8 times we have met). No textbook is provided or required but you will have a weekly soft chalk that took each person in my group on average 7 hours to get through. Class is taught with the assumption that you are coming from high school.

Has assignments due during class that you can't make up. Her PowerPoints lack info that WILL be on the test. She takes notes personally & you will have to ask to see them. 
Only Resorces provided are her bare min PPs and notes.
Snobby. Unreasonable. Inconsiderate. 
She thinks too highly of herself instead of caring for the success of her students.

I feel like she brainstormed ways to make it as difficult as possible to be successful. Ridiculous organization and downright evil grade distribution. If you have a life outside of school be prepared to feel frustrated over this class.

Do not take her class is you have a job or plan on taking more than 3 classes because you will not pass. Her "lecture" videos are so long and boring. Be prepared to do lots of group work. It really sucks she is the only one teaching Ecology. Gdovin made me regret my ES major!!

She really throws you off on the exams. If you don't use the notes she writes by hand in class, you wont understand her exams. She also doesn't share lecture until after the unit is over. This does not help us learn because there is no way to prepare & apply them to the lecture. Her notes are incomplete from what is tested so you must study more.
