RE: Cities of Europe

His lectures can be a bit confusing, but his enthusiasm is real and he is very approachable.

Overall, a solid urban geography primer, both on the level of the individual city, and in the sense of world cities. Excellent for anyone interested in urban studies, or European history with a city and trade focus. There is much cross-over with Urban Geography, and I recommend this class over the latter.

Took him for Cities of Europe. If you don't already know quite a bit about Europe then you're going to be a lost, well at least I was. There is no textbook, just lots of photocopied chapters from books. The whole class is pretty unstructured and unorganized. Nothing in the class seems to connect. Many students just never know what he is talking about. I wouldn't suggest this course at all, sounds a lot better than it even comes close to being.
