Reviews of professor Shari Hilding

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is one of the sweetest professors I have ever had. She is passionate about what she teaches and really cares about her student's success as well as their well-being. She wants you to ask questions and is beyond a doubt, willing to help you!!! I have had her for both Oceanography and Geology and got an A in both!!

She was very passionate about oceanography which made the class enjoyable. The class has a lot of material, so you really have to read for the quizes and show up for every class and lab. It was not an easy A, you definitely have to put in work. There is over 80 extra credit points, so take advantage of those.

She uses too many platforms and it is hard to keep up with it all. Required notes, lectures, chapter reading, online quizzes (that ask questions first; then tell you why you are wrong), online labs that are extremely time consuming, online discussion requirements and more. Assignments due on Saturdays but some are not posted until Tues or later.

LOTS OF WORK. Not your typical online Blinn course. Labs are VERY time consuming, required HANDWRITTEN notes, and a lot of additional assignments sprinkled in. Difficult for a class that shouldn't be. She can be very passive aggressive when responding to questions which makes you not want to ask any. Would highly recommend taking anyone else!

She is the worst online Professor I ever had. She posted all assignments really late, like everything is due Saturday but she won't even post it until Thursday. She forgets about online students, & there is so much work. PLEASE DON'T TAKE HER CLASS. The good reviews are a lie. She will stress you so much & pay for so many access. SAVE yourself !

Professor Hilding clearly cares about the material she teaches and it helps a lot with the class. She is very clear on what will be on the exams so there are no surprises. She genuinely wants people to do well in the class. There are lots of extra credit opportunities and labs are easy. In this class you will need to read the chapters in advance.
