Don't recommend, tests are unclear and lectures are horribly boring.

Honestly started this class not liking it at all and finding it difficult. However, I did end up enjoying it towards the end. The labs are time consuming but do make up a good portion of your grade. He is very passionate about what he teaches, which really engages you. It made me interested in the topics as well. Just study and you will be fine.

The labs can be pretty tedious but other than that, Ian Walker is such an awesome professor. He's genuine and very passionate about his work, and very brilliant. I 100% recommend him, I wish I would've participated more in lecture but got nervous. He has to be one of the best professors I've had so far while studying here, take his courses!

Midterm easier than final if you memorize all sample exam questions. Final was cooked. Weekly section assignments take so much time and work, my TA was a tough grader for no reason (Nel Sepulveda). I ended with a C+ and Walker ended up rounding to B-. He's a really cool and nice guy just not an easy GE like I thought. Take Pass/No Pass if u can.

Prof. Walker engaged with his students during lectures and taught in-depth class material. He wouldn't go too fast during his lectures which was very helpful when taking notes and retaining the information. Most of your grade is participation in section assignments which are labs. I would recommend this class for an easy GE.

The course is taught with pretty low effort, the section is required attendance but literally treated like a study hall. Big waste of time. I think Professor Walker is funny and I like him as a person but it sucks that this is a required course for the Geog major.......
