I was really excited to take this course because I am new to geography and have an interest in geology. Unfortunately, I quickly realized how difficult this course was gonna be 😭😭 none of our assignments felt like they were adding onto each other. Literally every class was something entirely different from the last and we were just expected to know what was being taught ( and it’s an 100 level course!!). I struggled sooo much when we had to write our papers because I felt that there wasn’t any actual content that we learned in class that could help me. This class had me constantly stressed. While Jeff is such a sweet and understanding person, this class was NOT taught well and I’m happy it’s over

Pete is an amazing instructor and brings an awesome energy to the classroom. He incorporates much of his own research into the content. This course covered immigration, natural resources, census data as well as as data visualization, using QGIS and presenting skills. He was in general an awesome professor, is so supportive of students and endlessly patient and thoughtful.
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.
