Easy exams, technical but straight-forward labs. He seems like a sweetheart honestly. He had a few lectures that were pretty interactive which I liked. On the other hand, some lectures are like watching a black and white movie.

Great class! Lectures are easy to follow, two exams for the quarter which were both online and could be taken anytime in a 24hr window. There were labs mostly every week which were doable in during section. If you needed help on the lab or had any questions about material the T.A.'s and Prof McFadden were more than happy to speak with you.

He's a really nice professor but his lectures can be a bit boring because he just talks about the readings. Theres 2 assignments that are site reports (you'll have to go around sb at evaluate your site) that are very confusing and take alot of your time. The final is a synthesis essay on the data the class has collected.

McFadden is a super nice guy and his TA is just like him, super caring and easy to get along with! The course is graded on 4 field projects and that's it. Be sure to read the materials he provided and apply those terms in the projects. Highly recommended for GEOG and Non-GEOG students who need some upper division credits.

This class is probably one of the best ones in the geog department. Class is just 3 site reports, no tests or midterms. You go out into SB and Goleta to evaluate sites and write about them. A really interesting class that makes you go out and about and explore areas outside of the school. Changed the way I viewed topics covered in class.
