She is great! Very attentive, answers emails, is ready to help. The course wasn't easy but wasn't hard - pretty average. Put in the time and work and you will do fine!

Professor Brumand is a great teacher. Her class is easy to understand and very enjoyable. As long as you are spending the time to do the work and submitting everything on time you'll pass. She grades papers super fast and you can usually get feedback and a grade within 24 hours of the due date. She also offers 5 points extra credit.

You can skim through the textbook and just focus on vocabulary but watch the videos for every module (1.5x speed)! Discussions aren't graded too harshly, use big boy sentences. Big extra credit opportunity worth 5% of your final grade so definitely put effort into it. Yellowdig is just about getting the points. Easy A or B session course.

The general grading for essay writing is quite tough not easy to get credit on this course. X(

Took SOS 314 with her, her class is exactly like Dr. Kelmans & the lectures are him literally. Do not buy the book it's unnecessary 100%. I chose her bc I was sick of Kelman & had to watch him anyways. She is nice though and gives good feedback and is clear in her rubrics. I recommend her over him 1000%. Try and you'll be fine :).

This class was fun. Everything is set in the syllabus, and it is easy to get an A. The only reason why I didn't get one is that Yellowdig is a separate website that canvas, so I lost out on a majority of that 15%. Every week there is a discussion post, response to another post, reading 1-2 chapters, watching videos, quizzes, and yellowdig.

Her class was easy as long as you read the materials and posted discussions. Although she offers extra credit and makes quizzes simple, she grades your essays very harshly. This is a great class if you want an easy A.

Prof. Brumand is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth. She gives great feedback and truly wants you to succeed. Keep in mind that 70% of the class is group work. Dont let this discourage you!! The projects are fairly straightforward and simple. You will learn a lot from this course and come out as a better sustainability student!

Professor Brumand is a very kind and generous person. Her SOS 171 class is so easy, that as long as you submit something for every assignment you are guaranteed at the very least a B. Very interesting class, especially if you are studying engineering. If you have the opportunity to take this class with her, take it.
