One of my least favorite classes and professors here. Only the midterm and final counted towards final grade. He asked questions on tiny details mentioned in class. The class is straight memorization. It's taught like a history class and isn't relevant to anything. Would not recommend.

This class is unbearable unless you have an undying interest in geography.Anything that the professor says, will be on the test. For example, he will play music at the start of class and talk about the artists/band that created it. He then will proceed put test questions about this information on the test. The class is only graded by 2 tests (50%)

Graded on two exams. Consisting of 150 multiple-choice questions along with maps. There's a study guide with hundreds of terms, many being random recipes or random factoids he'd include in lecture. Exams were hard to prepare for. Lecture was once a week and 3 hours long. Professor was arrogant, close-minded. Was interesting to listen to in lecture

The class is graded only on 1 midterm and 1 final. Lectures are 3 hours long with no recordings, PowerPoints or notes posted online. The midterm and final is half trivia type questions briefly mentioned in each class and the other half ridiculous maps that need to be memorized Very stressful and NOT worth it unless you want to spend days memorizing

Don’t take this class if you: Don’t have excellent photographic memory, don’t know every trivial detail about all places (and food) in the country. Lectures are 3 hour long and as boring as you can imagine, and they are not recorded. No notes or useful information of any kind is posted online. Couldn’t regret taking this class more.

Dan is a knowledgeable guy but this class is hard for non-US students. Many parts of the class material should be covered in high schools so local students can recall and develop them in class. It's very hard for international students to catch some detailed points yet the study guide is somewhat useless. Graded on mid and final, each is 50%.
