Reviews of professor Brittany Backus

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Absolutely hate this class would not recommend. The lectures are long and super boring and there is so much unnecessary information. The exams are harder than my accounting exams... that's saying a lot. Stay away from this class.

Professor Backus is a very nice and caring professor, but if you're not interested in animal welfare or ethics I would not recommend taking this class. Its mostly powerpoint lectures everyday, with a discussion post every week. It's a test heavy class, but If you fill out the study guide and study hard, you can get an A.

Dr. Backus is a cool person but this class is very boring and I am someone who loves animal welfare and ethics. A lot of lecture of not much informational substance, everything she says will be on quizzes and tests aren't on them. Plenty of group projects, including creating rap songs and memes, which were very unnecessary. Only take if needed.

Lectures were extremely long and immaculate. Studying was always tedious and terrible. Some information I believed was redundant for the overall class' function. Took it as an elective and let's just say it was more difficult and time consuming than my math class.

This was supposed to be a fun and entertaining class but ended up being the complete opposite. Lectures are tediously detailed and based completely off of PowerPoints. Very monotone and long class. You learn to memorize hundreds of unnecessary details that aren't crucial to the material. I do not recommend taking this class.
