Peter Nelson

Professor Nelson was clearly very interested and involved in Rural Geography, and his enthusiasm made me excited about the topic. There were 2 research papers, a project, and a final essay/research brief - all of which were fairly graded. There were usually 1-2 readings every night, but they were not meant to be read in-depth, as the topics were discussed during the lectures. Overall, a relaxed and enjoyable class that was very interesting.

I have to write this review to see other reviews do not take it seriously. Sure — here’s a little something: The Clockmaker’s Window In a quiet town where the streets curled like question marks, there stood a clockmaker’s shop with a single window always glowing warm gold. People said the clockmaker wasn’t repairing clocks at all, but listening to them—leaning in close as though each gear carried a secret.

Pete is a great professor and great guy. Even though its a lecture class, he makes sure to make people feel like they can make comments and express their experiences. Every time before class he'll start off with some kind of fun question. The first half of the class is very chill, with barely anything to do other than readings (which can get long, but also you can get by with just skimming). In the second half, things pick up a little bit, but they're fairly graded and he gives good and encouraging feedback. He wants you to want to be there, and as long as you make an effort, it's easy to get a lot out of this class.
