Reviews of professor Ruth Dawn

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Don't take Geology!!!!! This class was torture. Your grade comes from basically 3 exams, which are extremely difficult, even if you study, you aren't going to get a good grade. The labs were quick and easy, but didn't go along with anything she was teaching in lecture.

By far, without a doubt, the WORST professor ive ever had. Class itself was horrible, 3 exams determine your whole grade and they are near impossible to do good on. she thinks you don't have any other classes going on. DO NOT TAKE HER

She did not follow her own syllabus. Grades were based almost exclusively off of three very hard exams. She was often patronizing and disrespectful to other students despite claiming to treat everybody like adults. The labs seemed irrelevant and did not provide credit outside of exams. Do not take this class for a gen ed.

The lab manual was 25 dollars, a waste of money. The class had over 1000 power point slides. She wasted time with memes and spoke about politics. She assumed students didn't study so if a test came out with a low average there was no curve because it couldn't possibly be her fault. Plan to study for 5+ hours per week if you want above a C.

Her lectures are normally the whole time given for the class, so be prepared for long lectures. Some things she'll emphasize, but she keeps the amount you need to know vague at times. Her exams are way too difficult and sometimes cryptic. If you show up on days with really good or bad weather, there extra credit though.
