Winter 2025 - Winter 2025- I actually took Pub. Aff. 155 Equity in Transportation, but it was not listed on her class list for review. Professor Bills is a very nice person and professor. Unfortunately, her classes are extremely unorganized. For example, Professor Bills was in Washington, D.C. to begin the quarter, including the first day of class when we were supposed to meet. However, we were only alerted to this important fact late in the evening the night before the first day, which was difficult for some of us who do not live on campus. Throughout the quarter, be prepared, as she often makes you aware of group projects and lab assignments with little time to complete them, sometimes on the same day they are due. Her lectures are lackluster, not inspiring, and sometimes hard to follow because she is disorganized. Lab assignments were even more challenging to follow along with, as clarity was often lacking. The final group paper is given with little time and vague instructions, where you will have to complete an entire 10-minute presentation and a 2000-word paper. Once again, she is a kind professor, just not recommended if you are looking for a well-structured class.

Fall 2024 - Dr. Bills is very knowledgeable in Transportation Equity, and her passion for it shines through her lectures. Her lectures are always packed with valuable concepts and case studies. The class assignments and workload are very manageable. A couple of tasks revolve around Python coding and reading research papers. The final term paper is to apply class concepts to evaluate real-world case studies. However, a side note is that she’s busy and might not be the most organized person. Still, I think you can overlook those things if you are interested in transportation planning and equity evaluation—I highly recommend it.
