Allison Jacobel

This is the best course I have taken at Midd and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There can certainly be times where it feels like a bit more tough than other 100 level classes but Allison's teaching style is incredible! She is clear about the expectations for each assignment and reminds students of course themes and how each lecture relates to them so just by showing up and paying attention it is not too difficult to succeed. Easily the most enjoyable and valuable class I have taken in my three years at Midd I can not recommend enough. I wish every class could be taught like this one.

I really enjoyed this course and appreciated Allison's clear enthusiasm for this work. It gave me a good overview of the natural processes that run in the Earth's system and how they directly relate to the oceans and coastlines.

Allison definitely runs a difficult class, and we were forced to do difficult projects, but I would 100% recommend that people take this class with Allison. You will get so much out of it, from what I've heard, compared to other Profs. who teach it. If you're an ECSC major, I would suggest that you wait to take this class with Allison if possible.
