Reviews of professor Julia Perdrial

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
While Prof Perdrial is a sweet person and seems knowledgable, GEOL 1500 is the WORST class I've ever taken at UVM. I cannot express how boring and convoluted this class is. Half the class is talking about our feelings, half is boring guest lectures. Had nothing to do with geology, and the class should not exist.

Julia's teaching style helps me learn and pay attention so much! She is incredibly caring, hilarious, and will teach geol content and important life skills somehow at the same time. I love this woman with my whole heart, highly recommend!!

Julia is a really kind person and genuinely wants students to succeed. Her lectures are well-organized. However, it is hard to learn from her. She is evidently passionate about students and the field but she is not a very good teacher-- students have to put a lot of work in to get her to help us understand more complicated elements.

Nicest professor at the school, just not a very good teacher. She means really well, she really does, but after taking 2 classes with her I really do not feel like I learned very much. Earth Materials was a breeze. Her chemistry courses can be difficult at times because she is not the best at explaining concepts.

This is the most unreal course I've ever taken at UVM. It's the final week of class and I still don't understand objective of the class. Julia has avoided teaching the course at all costs, having guest lecturers almost every week. The content is disorganized and feels geared toward young children.

Nicest prof I've had at UVM. Her lectures can be a bit messy but overall they're still easy to follow. She clearly cares about all of her students and wants everyone to do well.

Shes super aware of her students needs in the class and is very accommodating, she really cares that everyone does well and succeeds. I will take every class she offers.

I do not recommend this professor. I am taking GEOL 1055 with her and in the 4th week of class we have already had 4 guest lecturers, most whom are underqualified to lecture on the subjects which they are lecturing on! This class is a waste of my time and money.
