Colin is another one of my favourite teachers. He cares for his students. His Lectures are sometimes set up as a discussion which helps with memory. He has weekly quizzes and weekly responses, one small paper and one larger term paper but they are abstract and relate to personal experiences. Pay attention and youll get an A! 10/10 recommend him

I loved his class, super interesting lectures! He grades fairly, it's not easy to get 90% or above, but if you pay attention in class, and study a good amount, you'll get a decent mark. He uses prezi's with no info on the slides, so you need to take notes in class. You write so fast until your hand hurts. There is a group project, can be annoying.

Colin is the best prof in Langara. His lectures are AMAZING. He literally changed my goals to pursuing a degree in geography. Attend class and take good notes (classes are super entertaining to attend anyway) to pass. Tests are half open book and half closed book. Colin will always be there if you need help. Don't hesitate, take geog with Colin!!

One of my favourite instructors ever. He's engaging and is always there to help you understand the material. Class activities that related the lectures to the outside world were fun and really helped reinforce the material. Exams with MC had picky little questions but broad essay questions. Overall fair marker and gives good feedback.

If you show up, take notes and listen to what he says you will most likely pass. Test reasonably hard but expected. Lectures and textbook compliment each other but do NOT follow each other. He assigns group projects and an in-class essay. I was recommended to take this course by my mum who took his GEOG1170 course.

Colin is my fav prof and his teachings have helped me choose my future career! Friendly and approachable. Wont pressure you to talk in class. If you skip get the notes as he wont post much content. Read the textbook cause he will test on things not taught in class. Ask for help if you need it and he will make time for you!

I took this course to fill my schedule but ended up enjoying Colin's lectures and wanted to go to class. Textbooks are essential for the online unit tests, which asked for facts from the actual text. The lowest test score would be dropped. Very clear instructions for midterm and final. Overall a great prof and a fair marker.

All quizzes are online and open book but time limited. Lectures are mostly pretty interesting and he's a funny guy. Uses Prezi and lots of visuals. A lot of quiz questions come from the textbook.

Comment:

The papers are to intricate for a 1st yr course. (i.e. treats 'fact collection' like a multi layered paper in itself). His expectations are far too high. Instructions are confusing. His tests are strange. They are on-line, timed and we couldn't go back to fix an answer. Nice guy though, and available to speak to. Don't care for the class.
