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.

If you're interested in how human development and innovation have improved our land-based livelihoods throughout history, this would be a great course for you. L'Roe is very well-educated on the course material and was very well-spoken in class which made lectures much more interesting.

I would suggest steering away from this class if you have any prior experience with statistics/R, as she grades it based on effort rather than proficiency. So, if you breeze through the homework’s (they are pretty simple), she’ll expect you to put in way more work than other people on the last few projects. I personally think this is an unfair grading style, but just keep it in mind
