This class workload is mainly on three papers throughout the quarter. For the first paper, my TA graded it quite harshly, and the whole section got significantly fewer scores than the other TA's sections. I recommend you read the paper's instructions carefully and strictly follow them. There was an issue with the citation numbers that made a lot of people get points deducted, so I recommend you recheck with the professor. The lecture was not very engaging, but some parts were helpful. Unfortunately, the professor did not record all the lectures. Overall, I think it is an okay GE with a reasonable workload. I think you would enjoy it if you are interested in economic geography, economic history, globalization, and unequal development.
