Used iclicker and slide heavy lectures but not too bad. Grades were based on section attendance/ activities and midterm and final not a hard class but if you want an a you have to study for the midterms and final

He is an amazing professor. Nothing wrong or bad to say about him, however one of his TA's was a tough grader. He would literally give me a 99.75 instead of 100 on the homework or just always be extra. Other than the TA, as long as you study and read the chapters/lectures you will be fine

Prof Devries is very kind and clearly cares about geography, my TA Nikita was also awesome. Took this for a GE and highly recommend it.

Overall a nice guy, but he's not an inspiring lecturer by any means. Class is attendance, biweekly hw, midterm and final. Material is relatively difficult for a class with no math prerequisites. The hw is really hard to do w/o going to OH because he does very little math in lecture. Midterm/final are pretty fair, but definitely need to study.

Iclicker and mandatory attendance. Labs are fine and tests are easy.

Everything is good with this class except the grading scale. He didn’t post the grading scale until the quarter already ended. For my class, 91.5 was A. Quite ironically, I got 91.49 and got A-. Good enough for me but I wish he could have let us known earlier so that we could manage the amount of dedication we put in for this class.
