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

I took this course as required for my major; however, I was relatively disappointed with what I got out from this course. While there were extenuating circumstances that contributed to my lack of excitement for the course material, the curriculum was relatively unstructured and somewhat random. The two major essays were extremely open-ended, but so open-ended to the point where I was questioning what I was getting out of writing them. Maybe I'm just simply uninterested in studying Earth's climate and environmental geography, but the class having a lot of busy work that only sometimes amounted to a class discussion made it not as enjoyable as it could have been.

I found this class to be overall pretty manageable. Niwaeli expects you to read the textbook, which sometimes covers very elementary topics. In class, though, you learn about interesting things. A major component of this class is a group presentation where you teach a class and design a worksheet that your classmates complete. Overall, this class was alright, but not always the most engaging to me.

This was a somewhat interesting course although it covers a lot of things that I already had a good sense of just from paying attention to the world around me. Not a challenging class in terms of work load although the exams were harder than expected. Overall, with it being Niwaeli's first time teaching this class, it was pretty good and she definitely grew on me throughout the semester.
