The lectures are posted online, but make more sense if you go to class. Get a head start of the labs and go to his or your TA's office hours! He gives 8 quizzes throughout the semester. Only downfall is he didn't have an honors project planned, so I had to create it myself.", "source_url": "https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1722716", "quality_rating": 4, "difficulty_rating": 3 }, { "observed_at": "2026-09-07 16:09:29.739767+00:00", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "source_review_id": "UmF0aW5nLTMxMDM5Njc0", "source_instructor_id": "rmp:1722716", "instructor_name": "Robert Roth", "course_label": "GEOG370", "course_id": "GEOG 370", "course_uid": "course_4acea7da7ba501a17437b0f2", "review_date": "2018-12-15 06:37:53 +0000 UTC", "comment": "Rob is definitely one of the best profs Ive had at UW. His lectures were very engaging and entertaining. He is extremely organized, approachable, and he's always willing to offer students feedback. Exams were challenging but fair, and projects were long but great portfolio pieces. I would recommend this class to both GEO and non-GEO majors.", "source_url": "https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1722716", "quality_rating": 5, "difficulty_rating": 4 } ] ``` ### total 16 ### page 1 ### courses | course\_uid | course\_id | | -------------------------------- | ---------- | | course\_4acea7da7ba501a17437b0f2 | GEOG 370 | | course\_ffa6ab2f0ff8da293926ca6d | GEOG 572 | ### matched true ## social Image false
