Great class, great professor. Definitely a must take if interested in Africa - one of few courses on campus.

Gave wayyyyy to much reading for an intro level class. I also thought her grading was very tough, often times giving no feedback. Boring lectures as well. Do not take

incredibly specific and tough in grading with little to no help or guidance, although nice is not personable- feels as if she is more comfortable interacting with some students than others, half the class dropped within the first couple weeks, cold calls, has a hard time engaging the class and stimulating conversation beyond the scope of literature

A great class. Interesting lectures and great readings. She is extremely knowledgeable about this topic and every lecture had me very engaged. Subtle humour that is easy to miss. Sadly the class was a quiet one so group discussions weren't great. I would 100% take another class with her. Not sure why she has poor reviews... they're wrong.

Great class super interesting material and extremely organized and thought provoking lectures. Readings were all really good. The class at times was a lot of work, but all very interesting and it felt pretty normal for a 200 level. Also I had her for intro (GEOG 102) and it was a great class (10/10 would recommend) don't understand the bad reviews.

Intense seminar. She expects a lot out of her students, but you get a lot out of the class in return. Really enjoyed the readings. She was able to clarify more difficult material very well. Don't take Ashley if you're looking for an easy class, take her if you want to learn.

global geography is a pretty great class - easy and she's very nice, plus there's some interesting stuff. her lecturing skills aren't great but still a strong recommend

Worst teacher ever. Just awful. DO NOT TAKE HER!

Dr. Fent is an amazing professor. You can tell she has so much knowledge about the subject and the passion for the subject really shows. Her lectures can be heavy and there is a good amount of material to read, but this is an actual college-level course. You can also ask her for help and feedback whenever - which she gladly gives out. Recommend!

Professor Fent is the most boring and rude professors I have ever encountered. 10/10 would NEVER take her class again. Don't let some of these comments fool you
