Comment:

Louis is a very passionate professor about the course content. The course breakdown is 2 midterms (15% each), a research paper (30%), and a final exam (40%). The grading on the research paper is fair and his multiple choice midterms are not difficult with sufficient studying. Dont bother with the textbook as his notes are the focal point of exams.

If you want a teacher who barely explains the essay worth 50% of your final grade, and drops your 97% to a 78% and never responds to emails. This is the teacher for you...

Probably one of the most boring classes I've ever taken. He clearly knows his material but the way he lectures is so dry it's hard to be interested and engaged in the class. Showed up just to show up but honestly I could've done without going at all.

Good prof, Knows his stuff, clearly takes pride in his knowledge but I have never fallen asleep in a lecture until his. I found his lectures hard to follow and hard to get interested in despite the great content, i think his teaching style is just too monotone for such a captivating subject, Many times I have found myself dozing off in his classes

Lectures can get pretty dry but are essential to attend bc his slides are vague and he explains in class. Lots of extra reading but exams and paper were not hard as long as you put in the effort. Had 2 midterms, a research paper, and final.

Definitely would recommend taking a class with Dr. Awanyo, especially if it is a small class. Midterms and final are essentially just a regurgitation of his lectures so showing up to class and taking good notes really helps. He is a very fair marker so as long as you put in the effort you'll finish the class with a good mark.

This class was the most boring class I have ever taken. His lectures are basically of him talking in circles and repeating the exact same thing over again. It's too bad because the course itself was very interesting but he completely ruined it

Dr. Awanyo is very knowledgeable, but is one of the driest professors I've ever had. You can easily get away with never showing up if you do the readings. The lectures are not only boring, but repetitive, unrelated to test material and an overall waste of time. Easy class if you can read on your own.

The lectures were very good and interesting. We discussed population, urbanization, development, cultural, and environmental geography. I learnt a lot about the Rwanda genocide, different perspectives about whether population in the developing world is as big a problem as it is made out to be. Really good and caring professor.

This is the 2nd course I have taken with this prof. He is hands-down the best professor I have had in this university. Stereotypes about the 3rd world are systematically destroyed, objective and critical analysis of the region is provided and policies that have worked or not worked are thoughtfully discussed. Great course for global awareness.

I didn't know the subject matter of Political Geography but took the course because the title looked interesting. And did I make the right decision! We covered the areas/regions of focus of Political Geography--from Geostrategic realms to sub-divisions of states, the Syrian Conflict, Boko Haram, the New colonialism, New Cold War, New World Order.

This is the first university class that met my expectations from high school. Unlike most high schools in Regina my school really prepared us for university. All of my university classes were glorified high school classes except Professor Awanyo's. There were required readings you had to do to deeply appreciate the lectures. Thorough and detailed.

One of the best university professors. He provides very comprehensive insights into various regions of the world and let's you understand what life is like for people in the regions. Teaches us how to analyze complicated topics and to be critical thinkers. You are not entitled to any grade in this course. You have to pull your weight by reading.

Louis is a down to earth prof. who can take boring material and make it captivating and engaging. I took a lot from his class and he presents material in a way that is easy to relate to real life situations. I would definitely take his classes again as he clearly explains everything and had given me the best feedback Ive had all semester! Oct 2017.
