I actually liked this class and thought it was one of the easiest class I've taken here at UCLA. It's true that the workload may be painful sometimes, but all the work can be comparable to a high school environmental class-- work that are assigned just to give you points to help out your grade or something. I thought the class was well organized and loved the fact that I was able to print out the lecture notes whenever I missed class. I think any who went to lectures (or glanced at the lecture notes) and went to labs had an easy time getting an A in the class. Sure it geography is a boring subject, but this class was actually pretty interesting. We had no finals- just two multiple-choice midterms that you dont even need to score A's in but can still get an A overall in the class.

Ah, professor Longcore. What can I say about good old Travis. He's a funny guy here and there. He does have a tendency to talk kind of fast in lecture, but that's really all I can say bad about him. He's ok. In terms of Geo 108, its a pretty easy class and he knows it. The tests are straightforward and multiple choice. I just wrote most of what he said during lecture and studied my notes for the test. I didn't even open the book and got an A in the class. He even tells you he writes his tests in front of his computer with his notes on his lap. If you're freaking out about the website project, please don't. Its really pretty easy. Its not meant to be super scientific and stuffed with all this technical research and information. Its meant to be fun and informative and most of the information you can get from the course book to put on the site. So take this class if you can, especially if you're a Bio major because any class other than an EEB class is going to cause you less stress and work.
