Reviews of professor Anna Patterson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor KP is another one of my favorite professors within the Geography department. She does a good job of explaining concepts and is very helpful with individual students in her classes. She gives a lot of time to work on lab work so her classes are more hands on then most. She doesnt really give tests and your grade based off of assignments.

She's a good professor but her teaching style is unusual. Minimal step-by-step instructions. She want's you to figure it out for yourself (and supposedly you learn more this way - I'm undecided). It works for some. She is always willing to help students. The class itself is full of very useful techniques not taught in other GEOG/GIS classes.

One of the easiest classes I have taken at Sac State. The work starts heavy but drastically dreceases after the first month. You work at your own pace. Her grading criteria is different and gives you the opportunity to finish your class much earlier. You do not have to do every assignment posted. Tons of extra credit. Super easy grader.

This programming class is designed for someone like myself, with little or no experience. That said, I still found it to be one of the toughest classes I've ever taken. Prof. KP gives you what need but typically not step-by-step instructions like I was used to. I got an A, but only because she put in a TON of work helping me figure things out.

Class is (ALE) meaning it is a lot of work and can be difficult. 30 bonus points are built into the class. She cares about her students deeply. She does info dump which can make things confusing. What we learn is relevant for job applications. Dealing with the access database is the hardest part of the class. Learn how to document your data.
