GEOG141A . 2 Years Ago

Good professor, clear lecture and instructions. You know what is expected for tests and class but sometimes his grading is a little funky.

GEOG5 . 3 Years Ago

i've taken 2 classes with this prof simply because they're very easy classes- you can do really well without doing any of the readings or watching the assigned videos. assignments and weekly forum posts are all relatively simple and the midterm and final were both online multiple choice. super boring lectures and definitely not an engaging class

The class itself was pretty easy but the professor never wanted to interact with anyone in the class. One midterm and one final, all multiple choice and they were relatively easy as long as you pay attention during lecture. Reading the textbook is required but you can get by without it.

This professor is much more interested in his research than teaching. During online lecture, he would merely read off of some pre-written script so insanely fast that it's difficult to follow along. Assignments were very easy, and there is no need to purchase the textbook. Keeping up with lectures is key to success.

GEOG5 with this professor was online with 5 assignments and 2 exams: 1 midterm and 1 final. I have to say that he is hands down the most unassuming person I've encountered. Our final class was a short inspirational speech in which he revealed he is a true warrior. He encouraged us, above all, to believe in ourselves and to be bold and curious.

Started this term by listing the multiple awards he's received throughout his career. He even has a Wikipedia page. You could never tell from taking this class. It is an asynchronous course. All of the assignments are either tedious or insanely easy, and all the exams were on GS. No need to do the readings either.
