This class skims the surface of a lot of material, which was great coming into the class with no knowledge of geography whatsoever, but might be a drag to people who already have some knowledge of the discipline. Pete is a fantastic lecturer and brings in lots of creative projects and labs. The readings might be difficult for humanities-minded folks, but they don't have a ton of bearing on the class. If you truly want an introduction to geography, this class is absolutely worth it.

Peter is a very passionate and fair instructor. The course was interesting and reading-heavy, but the work was meaningful and pertinent to the course. There was 3 research projects assigned over the course and one was optional. Also a final paper, midterm and final exams.

Although there is a lot of reading that is expected of you, I think the course material is not only fascinating but also extremely relevant. The class is lecture heavy but Professor Nelson makes lectures interesting with plenty of visuals and case studies. If you're from a city or at any point see yourself living in one, I would recommend this class.
