I am very disappointed with this class and the professor. Geography has always been my favorite subject but this class completely turned me off. Firstly, the readings are extremely long and rarely get mentioned in class. Secondly, his expectations on assignments are never clear and if you ask him questions during office hours about the assignments, he is very vague and always wants students to think for themselves. This is important but makes it very difficult to gauge what he is expecting. Overall, this class was a major disappointment. I strongly advise anyone who is considering to take this course NOT to take it, especially with this professor. It is a waste of time and all the material covered in this course is common knowledge.

This course was very engaging and interesting. There are 3 research papers throughout the course but you only have to do 2 of them. Then there is a final paper and exam. There was quite a bit of reading but the content is very interesting.

Pretty standard geography elective. Pete is a phenomenal and engaging lecturer. Coursework consists of two exams and two research exercises, both heavily based on the class readings and lecture content. He's a very fair grader, but don't expect an A without some grinding.
