Go to lectures and pay attention. Tests are hard, but big curve at the end. He's kind of hard to understand, but just really pay attention, and you'll be fine. TAs help you out a lot with the weekly section activity. Overall, pretty easy class and a good GE to get out of the way.

Professor Ding is awesome, you can tell he is highly educated on the material he teaches and it shows with his enthusiasm during lectures.

very boring but easy class ngl

I am pretty sure someone is taking down the bad reviews. I remember seeing poor reviews on here a few months ago and now they're gone. He's a terrible professor. Do not take this class if you can help it. The lectures made it more difficult for me and the quizzes were overly confusing and vague.

Interesting and easy class, highly recommend. Multiple choice 2 midterms and final. 6 assignments.

I found the material really interesting and Professor Ding was clearly very passionate about this course. He was very helpful during office hours and his grading curve ensured that everyone would pass with either an A or B.

seriously recommend this class if you want an easy GE, super passionate professor though his accent makes it hard to understand what he's lecturing on sometimes. It doesn't really matter though cuz you mainly learn through his slides which are pretty engaging and well made. The curves he gave were insane.

Very generous % to letter grade (86 or above was an A/A+). Easy, interesting class. "Mandatory" lecture but iClicker normally didn't even work, weekly section hw but sections not rlly mandatory. Prof very passionate and knowledgeable in class content, tried to make concepts fun to learn, gave study guides before midterms/final. Awesome time!

I took Geog 3 with Ding and I really enjoyed it. He is a bit quite during lectures but is very passionate. He curved the grades a lot so basically anywhere from a 91-100 was an A+.

Hands down the best and easiest class. You wouldn't have to worry about your grades to a point where you can actually enjoy learning about the things taught in the class.

Ding did great teaching such an expansive topic like climate change, but because of this topic you were looking over presentations with well over 100 slides 2-times a week! Just a crazy amount of information to study. However the exams and homework were very easy, so in the end the class was worth the long studying time for an easy-A.

I took his Climatic Change course and I loved it. Hes very straightforward in what hes looking for. There is a little math but its high school level. Hes enthusiastic with the subject matter and the passion shows. With quizzes and homeworks he puts out a solution manual to aid your studies. No reason to not get an A. Fantastic prof.
