Comment:
Her lectures move along, and it is easy to get lost if you don't keep up. But if you make an effort to listen and contribute, you will learn a ton! Make the effort to talk to her, both in and outside of class; you will be amazed at her ability to open your eyes to socioeconomic issues you'd never considered before.

Most ridiculous class I've ever taken. TA was way too hard on grading. Exams/ Essays were entirely on the books-- you need to know every single detail if you want to do well in this class. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this class.

READ THE BOOKS. midterm is based solely on questions relevant to the book, she's somewhat of a tough grader. final is take home essay her 2nd book. group projects were very easy, not a bad class at all if you're interested in the topic. i barely went to classes when she lectured and will end up with a B+. not as bad as everyone makes is sound

I went abroad with Yda. She definitely knows what she talks about, and we learned a lot on the excursions. She isn't the easiest grader, but I learned a lot. Highly recommend taking her, especially abroad!

The professor is easy to understand! She assigns very interesting and up to date books as the course material. She is more appropriate to teach at the graduate level because she gives minimum guidance, not everyone gets her - yet she smart, not boring.

TAs start teaching class 1/2 way thru semester, she is an ok lecturer. Class is based on 2 books= 2 exams, and 1 group final project= no final exam. I never went to class just read the books and showed up last 3 weeks for project and got a B+. Class is easy and somewhat interesting, you watch a few movies along the way too.

Comment:
Absolutely horrible in terms of her teaching. BORING and redundant. The material isnt hard but its EXTREMELY HARD to stay awake. She talks really quiet and kind of rambles on. Use a computer for this class cause she has a lot of notes. The midterm was easy but the final was hard. If you're not an IR major, AVOID THIS CLASS!

Avoid. Incredibly boring lecturer, hard to stay interested unless you legitimately enjoy geography. The textbook is useful, but do not buy the atlas. Didn't even open it once.

Comment:
Very easy class, great MC requirement. Lectures are interesting and tests are mostly based on lectures. Very easy mapquizzes worth 30% of the grade and final is not cumulative. Professor is very knowledgeable and answers questions well. Overall, I had a great experience in this class and would recommend it. Very easy midterm.

Yda is a really interesting lady if you get to talk to her. She has an agenda, especially with her new book, and she slants that way a lot. Her voice can put you to sleep, but if you read the books you'll do fine on the exams. She grades writing easily.

Comment:
Pretty interesting and relevant material but presented in the worst way. Boring, unclear, unstructured lectures. 2 tests, midterm and final are multiple choice. Some questions are very easy and some come out of nowhere. Small curves on tests. Her review guides are vague but tell you what NOT to read in the textbook.

Read this if your going to take Geog 120 : This is a challenging intro course, you do not need to attend class but you MUST read everything to do OK on the 3 exams. You do learn valuable information. The professor is useless, she is hard to understand and you do not benefit that much from going to class...Just read everything.

Very hard to understand! I learned nothing and actually put a lot of effort into trying to learn something! Course def. was not structured to be an introductory course. SUPER HARD! WARNING: DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR if you want to get a good grade!

Comment:
She is the worst professor of my life. It was impossible to stay awake in her lectures, and I still ask myself why I even bothered everyday. She was very unclear with what was going to be on the test. You should definitely not take her, but if you do, just know that she's real big on the economic aspects of her class.

Comment:
She is economically biased in her lectures and is not clear at all especially with the exam questions she uses. This makes the class too hard for an introductory level class. She'll also skip over major topics that are "not important". Her lectures are boring and she has trouble making her major point clear. I would not recommend her.

Not an especially hard class if you can read and comprehend the material and notes handed out. It's just that I think few, if anyone really understood what it was that Yda 'Goldmember' Schreuder was talking about with that accent and boring tone. Just read the book and the notes, try to catch what countries she's discussing and read up on them.
