Reviews of professor Julia Cole

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I went to a couple of lectures but was too lazy to go to all of them. There are iClicker questions for extra credit; I used the iClicker app to answer these remotely. Quizzes were fairly straightforward an d I used her PowerPoints to get me through them. Overall, a fairly easy class to get an A and at worst, an A-.

Professor Cole is caring, kind, and a renowned expert in her field. She is so sweet and genuinely welcomes student feedback about the course and tailors lectures to what students are interested in. Very little homework out of class, final project is worth 15% of grade but pretty easy and you can choose your own topic. Can't recommend her enough.

I definitely recommend taking a class with Julie especially if you're into environmental studies. Class is mainly graded on 3 quizzes (45%) and a final presentation (15%) but they are completely manageable and curved. The other 40% is participation/attendance and little homework assignments. Recommend for an easy 3 credits.

Even though it is just a mini course, Professor Cole puts her heart and soul into the lectures. Such a kind woman willing to have a talk about anything in the world if you want. Online quizzes are simple if you go to each lecture, but you're screwed if you don't go to them.

The whole grade is determined by 6 Canvas quizzes and some extra credit. The quizzes can be kind of tricky but the extra credit helps a lot. I got an A without ever physically being in the class (I had a different class at the same time). Good choice for a 1-credit NS.
