Take all of your geography classes with Prof Courter. His lectures include interesting stories that relate to the lecture. He is passionate about geography and it will rub off on you. As long as you put the study time in, you will get a high grade in his class. Book and atlas were optional purchases.

The tests are difficult, but the work is not difficult at all. Took during intersession and no regrets. Boost test scores and offers a lot of extra credit. He tells lots of stories and if you need help with anything just ask. He isn't out to get anybody. He wants you to pass. He told us he wants us all to at least get a C and pass.

Test are HARD. You won't pass if you don't study. Make sure you write every single thing that comes out of his mouth. Pay attention to his stories because he usually ties them to the lecture. Fantastic professor overall ! He is very inspirational and cares about his students.

By far my favorite professor, he always tells you specifically what's going to be on the test and really just wants to "facilitate your college career," so the class isn't really difficult. Pay attention, take notes, do the reading and you'll be fine. His stories are very entertaining and funny, so that's a plus!

He was an awesome teacher. Would always make class very interesting. You can tell he has passion for geography and the learning about the history of the countries and their people and culture. He is well traveled and can tell you first hand experiences instead of just reading them from the book.

Professor Courter is REAL, approachable and keeps the class moving. Although lecture heavy, he is not boring. He shares his personal travel experiences to make subject more interesting. His tests are based on lecture and maps; for the essay question, he gives you the answer - verbatim. Quizzes are done in groups. Do the work - pass the class

He's Amazing! He's funny & breaks down everything for you to easily understand. He obviously loves what he does & helps you out a lot. Just show up to his lectures & you'll pass. Your only hw is basically to read the textbook but he explains everything so well it's not even necessary. Highly recommend!

i took him for Geog 101 and the Geog 101L, his class will be hard if you don't take good notes. He keeps his lectures very interesting and funny by telling his life stories. he also gives 20 points extra credit if you come to class every day and another 20 points if you get 100% on all the map quizzes

Keeps lectures on point but does it so that the class stays focused; he also lets you know what info to pay close attn to because it'll be on the test. For tests, you're allowed a 3x5 notecard to use as a cheat sheet, questions are based heavily on lectures, and lets you know what essay question will be on exam. Do the work, you'll get an A.

What an amazing professor! Gladly would make the 1 1/2 hour commute to SAC just for his class. His passion for the subject truly inspired me. Favorite part was how in his presentations he had photographs that he had taken on his many adventures! Hilarious and well traveled! Take this class and appreciate Prof. Courter

He is surely the BEST! He makes his lectures fun but stays on topic. Take good notes, read the book and you will pass his class. For me, he made me fall in love with Geography. There are a lot of definitions to memorize for both 100 and 101 but some of those definitions are easy to memorize. I totally recommend to take his class.

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE professor courter! Best ever, i was actually excited to go to his class. He made geography interesting. Never wears shoes lol, such a cool funny guy. Don't think you'll pass if you miss more than 2days + & reading the book is a necessity. It is a science course, so its a lot of definitions

One of the best prof I have ever had. I always looked forward to coming to his classes because his lecture were so amazing and his stories were so hilarious. It was kinda like a hybrid of stand up comedy and educational lectures which always kept the class engaged. TAKE HIS CLASS, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.
