Comment:
Good professor. He gives a lot of insight as he has prior knowledge working with maps. Tests are open book and really easy if you pay attention and take notes. One long paper for final as you write about the geography of a country. Only thing I didn't care for were his political comments that didn't relate to the lessons.

Comment:
He is the BOMB. Prof. Spatz is extremely caring and understanding to issues going on outside of the classroom. He works hard to make sure everyone understands the material, and he has a lot of interesting stories from his time as a cartographer. He lectures mostly from the book (so DEF get it), but all of the tests are open note and book. Loved him

Spatz is a laid back guy. Show up to class and you will pass. All tests are open note/book. There is one research paper on a country of your choice. The final is also open note/book. Highly recommend taking him. Even though you dont have to study for tests you still will learn from him.

Alright teacher. Lectures on the textbook, which is mandatory and used each class. Take notes during the entire class, and all 3 tests and 1 final are open book/open notes. Don't wait until last minute to start the term paper. Other than that, this is an easy A with no studying and little work outside of the classroom.

He is the nicest man. I was intimidated on the first day of class and was like "oh no what am I in for." I was so wrong. He was fun, so easy and he truly cares for his students. I wish he taught more classes. He brings you cookies if that matters. All tests are open book even the final and you have one paper to write about a country of your choice.

Attendance is mandatory bring in all doctors notes etc and you will be excused. Lectures are boring and straight from the book but sometimes he'll hit you with a witty joke. He is very understanding, kind, and patient. Tests are all open book and you can use tests for the final.

Easy - open book tests but no meaningful discussions or chance to contribute. Instructions for the research paper aren't very clear. Nice, easy but not a good teacher. He just spouts off facts verbatim from the book.

Attendance is mandatory for U but not him-no notice. Ugh, I already read the book: tell me something else. This class could be so much fun. Book is great. He is boring. Just stands-sits and reads or spouts of facts in repetition verbatim from the book. Could have at least shared our research papers with the class- RP only learning opportunity.

Great teacher! Super easy going and even throws in some funny witty jokes here and there. Tests are open book/notes. What he discusses in class is on quizzes so take notes! Only one paper due at the end that notifies you about in the beginning of the semester. really enjoyed coming to class everyday

Mostly reads from the book and gives open book tests. One paper. No homework. But if you want to get your monies worth, discuss issues in depth and participate in meaningful classroom discussions this not the instructor for you.

Super easy class, very laid back but you still need to pay attention. He basically gives notes and lectures, skips around in the book. He explains things in terms we can relate to so it made the subject matter semi-interesting to me.

Nice guy and i would have to agree that he is very laid back. Gives alot of notes, and a quiz like every week but that helps you to eleviate stress for the exam. The exam is combined of all the quiz questions...show up and take notes ..youll be fine
