Spring 2024 - super chill class. there were around 2-3 readings per week but you don't rly have to do them because he goes through them during lecture. there were some short quizzes (super chill), 2 short papers, one long midterm and one long final paper, and weekly discussion posts. The final was to go to the Hammer Museum and write a reflection about an environmental exhibit! attendance was not mandatory and he sometimes recorded lectures (although it wasn't a guarantee). There was one TA for the whole class so they split up grading everyone's papers (the prof was def an easier grader than the TA). The class content is similar to geog 3
