Comm B Class and the papers aren't hard, they are scaffolded but the grading was horrible. The TAs do a lot of the grunt work and the grading. but I don't think I can tell you one thing I really learned from this class, lectures were simply long tangents and slides weren't good for taking notes and he would only do top hat for halt the lectures.Rate My Professors ↗
Obviously a professor who cares a lot about his students and his lectures. Very humorous and intelligent when discussing the topics of human geography.Rate My Professors ↗
Lectures are boring and hard to follow. He talks and talks but rarely gets to his point. Exams and essays are not difficult. It's an okay class.Rate My Professors ↗
A super smart and nice professor. He doesn't just teach facts, but values ideas which I appreciate.Rate My Professors ↗
Not a great lecturer, slides are not good for taking notes. Be prepared to just listen and take notes from what he is saying verbally. He's a good guy and knows what he's talking about, but just not very streamlined lectures. My notes were super bare in the beginning before I just started doing notes from what I was hearing.Rate My Professors ↗
Most boring lectures ever. I'm sure he is a brilliant human geographer, but when it comes to lecturing, not at all. He opposes having the lecture notes and videos on Canvas for no reason. Actually, he probably doesn't post lectures because nobody would show up to lecture. He is a yapper. He talks so much without saying anything meaningful.Rate My Professors ↗
