Comment:

The content he teaches in this course is pretty straight forward. The bad part about him is that he does not post his powerpoints at all so you basically have to attend class in order to pass. Exams were easy and straightforward. Thought that he was a tough marker when it got to marking essays.

He talks way too fast and doesn't give time for students to take notes from his powerpoints. I wish he could give powerpoints to students.

I wish his rating was higher. I honestly think he was a really great prof, he loves geography so much and kept me interested (i'm not even a geography student). No, he doesn't post the powerpoints online, but the material is basic enough that showing up and taking notes is enough. This course requires no textbook. A good lover level liberal!

Comment:

Never done well in any liberal courses, except this one. As long as you show up to his lectures, you pass. He uploads skeleton notes online, you show up to the lecture, copy his slides onto the lecture notes, listen to him, guaranteed A+. He outlines what will be on the midterm, final, and how your essay is marked. Lectures are fun and really easy.

Although the lectures were very dense and uninviting, the content itself was interesting and the essay, worth 45%, was very fair and the options to choose from were plentiful. Easy grader.

Prof Fullerton deserves a way higher rating. Great prof, gives very clear instructions, if you come to every class, make good notes, read all the readings, you will get a good mark. Most people complaining about doing bad never showed up to class(your own fault)His final was things he mentioned multiple times in class. Very interesting and kind man

Comment:

Professor Larry Fullerton's lectures were really good. They weren't too boring mainly due to the way the powerpoints were designed. He made the course exceptionally easier by breaking down each component into separate sections. When it comes to grading, he is really tough. However only his TAs graded most of the essays.

Larry Fullerton is great. His lectures are fun and interesting and he's not boring at all! The essay was marked fairly and the class did pretty well. His tests are pretty straight forward if you put effort into going to class and studying the notes. His power points are helpful.

Comment:

Doesn't put slides up so you will have to take notes. Come to class and takes notes and you will pass. 1 essay worth 45% marked. Midterm is 4 short answer marked by TA and prof. FInal is m/c and cumulative. Some m/c were tricky but most are fine. Take very good notes and you are good! Textbook is useless, you dont need it! Dont buy.

Comment:

The worst professor of all. I am not even sure he is qualified. All he does is talk about his vacations. Tests are confusing and so are his lessons. Check out his salary online as well, it is open to the public. Does not deserve almost 200, 000 dollars a year to talk about vacations. This is what is wrong about society and why are tuition is high

Comment:

Alright, so he's not the most interesting professor ever but if you ever go talk to him one on one, you will know that he does care about his students. Though he doesn't rely on the textbook, it is still easy to read and follow along. If you put in a good effort in this class, you are guaranteed at least a B.

Came into class believing if I read the book and studied often I would come out with an A. Well guess what? I was wrong! He has such a monotone voice that could put you to sleep in less than an hour. Avoid the class if you can.

Comment:

Came into this class thinking if one did the work, read the textbook, came to class and took notes on his powerpoints, one would be fine. WRONG. very unclear prof, tests, midterms, essays and assignment instructions are too vauge and takes marks off w.o justification. RUDE and never replies emails, dosent even mark the work. UNQUALIFIED

His essay questions were not very clear. His multiple choice question are some what difficult. If your looking for a easy liberal, you may want to reconsider taking this class.

Comment:

Teaches from slides, randomly deletes words to make u write. Midterms(4) r straight from slides, just memorize slides. Essay is marked by random TAs and marking not justified. Prof speaks in a monotone voice, randomly jumps between topics without digging deep. Overall would not take any courses with him. Too much work in comparison to other section
