Rachel Marks GEOG170 Expecting an A- Anonymous 01/19/2024	The course itself was easy, BUT in GEOG170 there was only I think six or seven grades the whole semester, so not a ton of grades to either increase or maintain a high grade. Professor Marks, is a very nice person who does know a lot about the subject, but often times she responds to email and the class can be very boring. Overall it was a easy course in terms of work load and most of the content.
Naijun Zhou GEOG170 Expecting an A- Vashin 01/23/2023	Went to in-person class a total of 3 times all semester, including exams, and pulled an A-. With a few weeks left in the semester he added clickers, which was really annoying because it meant I had to start going to class on Zoom. His lecturing is very hard to understand because of his accent, which is admittedly not his fault, but it warrants mentioning. His saving grace is his homeworks and exams are fairly easy and his grading scale is generous, an 85-89 was an A-. Overall, not too upset with an A- considering how little effort I put into this class.

Lots of midterms, but all the tests are fair and if you pay attention you'll do well. Would take again.
