Both professor herb and lee were very passionate and engaged professors that wanted to help guide each student through the semester. I found the discussion sectiosn very interesting and they forced you to immerse yourself in the course.

Professor Herb was an amazing instructor, clearly passionate about their subject. Each class was centred around discussion, based on the readings beforehand. This usually required a lot of reading, that had to be done. Projects where interesting and fun to do, but mark schemes/expectations sometimes unclear.

Prof. Herb is a great person and clearly passionate about the subject and caring for his students. It's clear he wants us to succeed and doesn't put much pressure on students exam-wise. The course was comprised of 2 very small midterm essays (essay is a strong word), 2 group presentations, and one group paper. All of the assignments were pretty enjoyable, but I personally wouldn't take the course again because of a lack of interest in the material. It was a lot of theoretical geography, which I did not expect, as I didn't really understand how geography classes worked. During class, it was super obvious who didn't do the readings, as the course is fully discussion-based and you were expected to speak essentially every class. I would honestly say attending the class is arguably the most stressful thing about the course, but in all it could have been much worse.
