Reviews of professor Gretchen Ferguson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Gretchen is so sweet! She really cares about her students and she just wants everyone to succeed. She gives a lot of practice questions and notes before tests. Also write down what she says during lectures, she usually gives answers and questions that are on the exams.

Go to the lectures!! She records everything but sometimes the videos don't work

Really kind prof - you could tell she cared. Material was interesting and lectures were not dry. Only thing is that she flips through slides from different lecture files quickly, so be prepared to follow along to keep up, because sometimes I found myself getting lost.

Lectures was fine and enjoyable. it was a hour long lecture, do have to read textbook to fill in the gaps.Graded mainly on midterm, final and a term paper. Kind and flexible professor. She dropped the last chapter from the course as final exam was scheduled 3 days after the last chapter/day of the course. You can tell she tells about her students.

I am only giving Gretchen a high rating because the course was easy! I did not attend lectures frequently, but studying at home and using the quizzes as supplementary material was very helpful. Gretchen also writes out an entire review for the midterm and final. Honestly, using this review material was enough for me to get a good grade.

Great professor - you can tell she cares a lot for her students and is really understanding. She is also accommodating and we were able to sub 30% of our midterm grade for an optional mini-essay. She audio records the lectures. I also like how fair the weight things you're being grades by is (graded by many quizzes, discussions, essays, and exams).

One of my favorite profs. She compares concepts to her own real-life experiences. She has traveled quite a bit so she has some real first-hand information to offer and it really helps explain by example. It's not important nor helpful to read all of the many, many assigned readings as they're long-winded and summed up in her lectures.

If you don't like human geography like me, you'll find it hard to sit through her lectures. If you need to take this course, take it online or in person if it's not a 3h lecture in the afternoon. The good thing is this course is it's divided into tests and writing assignments. If you're good at at least one of them, you'll do decent. TMs are meh..

Easy, interesting class. Gretchen's lectures were fun to listen to bc it relates to a lot of real life situations in the present world. she even shared a lot of her experiences with us. Clear lecture slides, fair assignments and exams. Not intense course load so its a very good class to take as a first year
