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.

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.
