Contrary to popular opinion, this class is designed for you to succeed. This was my first ever geography class, and surprisingly did not scare me away. If you do flashcards on any practice problems from the lectures, you'll do great. Also, you can read summaries on the readings if you don't have time to fully read them.

Prof Cassels and Dr. Fitzgibbons were great, very intelligent women. I enjoyed all of their lectures sometimes I was mentally absent since attendance was mandatory but the class itself was really interesting and got me thinking about changing majors. I just studied for exams the day before and still got an A. The workload is reasonable light.

Prof Cassels is a great professor! I took her sex, drugs, and geography class that she added a unit on COVID-19 to (which was super interesting!). She did a good job at making the readings relevant and go well with the topics we learned in lecture. The tests are a bit specific but section always helped to guide studying

This lecture is not recorded and the slides are awful. This lecture also needs a lot of reading and you have to buy the books by yourself. This week we need to read a book from the introduction to chapter 7, which is over a hundred pages reading. Also, you have to write a lot of stuff and this course is not in the writing area.

The best professor I've ever had. Her lectures were very engaging and she was very personable and kind, and graded generously. The pandemic started during my quarter with her and she went as far as to cancel a major research project because of it. This was the hardest part of the class, but she cared more about our mental health than anything else.

she is knowledgeable, helps, cares, has interesting lectures and brings tangerines to class. some topics kinda hard to grasp but it helps to go to her/ TAs office hours. weekly quizzes based on readings, 3 papers, a field trip, 1 online essay and mc midterm, final project requires fieldwork and an essay. Participate, read, and get help. good class.
