Took online. No homework. I went weeks without even thinking about this class. 5 discussions asking for your opinion on various topics that are due before the exams. 3 online exams that were very easy and spread out across the semester. Did not use the textbook. Easy A.

Awful and unpredictable tests that are 100 questions long. Sometimes the material will be online, but often the questions wont be online somewhere. Not many assignments besides the test, so if you fail good luck. Beware to free up a lot of time when taking his test because it will be needed.

Online class and it was SO easy. Half the time I forgot I was in it, there's barely any work. A discussion post once a month and 1 comment on someone else's. Term paper at the end that is really easy and boosts your grade! Only take this class online because you can look up the answers to exams- they would be impossible in class.

If youre bad at geography, avoid him like the plague. His accent is very thick and difficult to understand most of the time. Also, dont bother buying the book, you wont use it. Would not recommend

Comment:

Didn't know the professor's / class name the entire semester, because he only emailed the class 4 times. Doesn't post any original work, everything comes from the book. Test questions are all online. For the final paper, it's nearly impossible to write, because you aren't taught ANYTHING. Oh and test days take hours to complete (106+ questions).

He's an okay professor. I had him for human geo. Every class is lectures and they can get really boring and long. the tests make no sense and the notes you take in class wont help you but he does scale the tests so that will help you. you have to go to two guest lectures and write about them. hes not a bad professor he's just boring

He is very nice, he's hard to understand because of his accent but is always cracking jokes. His class is mostly lectures and note taking and there are only three tests for the whole semester that aren't very hard. There is little easy assignments here and there but no homework a pretty easy class if u dont mind lectures

I had Dr. Rao for Human Geography in Fall 2016, and I thought he was an excellent teacher! He was there to help me when I was in the wrong, and he was able to help me get to the grade I wanted. I recommend this professor to anyone who likes to learn about human geography!

Made us pay an extra $100 for WileyPlus to take the 5 tests. These tests would be IMPOSSIBLE in a classroom. Only take him online because you can just look up the answers straight from quizlet. includes 5 100 question tests, usually take over an hour to finish, & weekly discussion

Took him online, very easy. 4 discussion questions that was basically your own opinion and about real life matters. 4 tests, and one 4 page paper on your own topic. As long as you do all of it, should be an easy A!

He is very nice but his lectures are very boring and his accent is very thick. His exams are very difficult if you don't enjoy the class, but he does scale grades. There was only 2 homework assignments. Also his class notes are very disorganized and hard to follow.

The class is easy with very little homework and two small take home projects. Every classs you just copy notes off the board. There are two tests not including the final and they're only based on the chapters of notes taken. You will need to have and read the textbook because he takes questions straight out of the book that may not be in the notes.

Easiest online class ever. You have about 4 discussion questions (no research or evidence required in your response) and 4-5 tests online which you can google the answers to while taking it. 4 page final paper on a topic you choose. Take this class for an easy A. At some points it was like I wasn't even taking it because we didn't do anything!

This class was difficult because of the way he ran it. The lectures were not good and clearly disorganized. His tests are unfair in my opinion. The book is definitely necessary if you want to get a decent grade in the class. I really would not recommend taking this class unless you absolutely have to.

Sometimes he could be pretty disrespectful with poor manners but this class was easy. We barely had homework and class everyday is taking notes. I would not recommend buying the book because all of the essential information is in the notes. I would not skip this class regularly because he keeps track.

Very Hard to understand. Takes him a while to try and get his point across with his lectures. Tests are very long and sometimes contain stuff you won't even go over in class.
