Guntram Herb

Guntram Herb is one of the best professors I have ever had. He puts in a great effort to make every lecture engaging, and his grading I thought was very fair. Emphasis on group work though means you should choose your group wisely

I love how this course required me to think deeply about national identity and physical and mental borders. It definitely expanded my mind. Professor Herb provide lectures well and frequently provides handouts to make the material even more digestible. I highly recommend this course.

I really enjoyed taking a class with Prof Herb. He is super passionate about geography and borders, and is enthusiastic, funny, and creative with his teaching. My class had 2 midterms (3 questions, 200 words), the first midterm was fair. I have never taken a geography class before and though the concepts were pretty complex and theoretical, with a few lectures/readings, I understood it for the midterm and did well. We have a small project using ArcGIS storymaps, then a final project that includes a group paper. Overall, you really learn a lot, heavy on discussion, and you get as much as you put into it.
