This class is so entertaining and helpful. Everything is online so its pretty easy. if you take this class always remember to start your assignments early in the week because although they may not look time consuming they can be. My TA, Scott, was really helpful and easy to talk too. The quizzes are largely based off the textbook so it is necessary to have. The assignments overall where pretty easy and the quizzes too. The midterm was also super easy to do. for the final you get to choose on how to demonstrate your understanding of the subject. Overall pretty laid back class and also very helpful.

If you would like to take GEOG 7 with a really easygoing, resourceful, and considerate professor, I strongly suggest you take this course with Dr. Burkhart. (Btw, he got a PhD in geography at UCLA!)

The course content is mostly online. No regular class meeting (lectures), only labs in-person or online just once a week, but participation matters a lot (more than 10% percent, depending on your TA's grading styles since all your assignments and even the final project will be graded by the TA you have chosen at the beginning.)

The course is "capped", namely, not accepting enrollment after the end of week !

Workload may intimidate you if you have never be exposed to geography, cartography or learn and master new things in a fast way. Remember, both the midterm (like a online quiz, but you need to use a software called "QGIS" to get the right answers to submit, i.e., the test is mainly on your software operation) and the final project are counted as 15% of the total grades of this course; however, 8 regular assignments matters much, much more (40%)!
