dull class, lecture material did not correspond to information from textbooks. In short, a bad class. Avoid Pitblado's first year geography if possible

He is a very smart man. I liked taking his classes, but they're not bird classes. Your have to work, he really tries to teach you how to think.

Comment:

Although very dull, is a dedicated teacher. Classes run a little dry, and his lectures can be a little unclear. Gets better after first year. His intro to physical geog course is a snoozer.

GREAT MAN! MR. GEOGRAPHY! The most dedicated and nicest guy on the 3rd floor. A bit 'dry' in class but what he lacks in 'theatrics' he makes up for in tact,knowledge and love of geography. Highly recommend!

Comment:

He teaches different from the text book, and makes it confusing sometimes when describing symbols, etc. Does not give or go through examples completely, more of a theoretical teaching style. If your a hands on example and learn person you may want to think twice.

Comment:

If you want to answer questions and be in on his little jokes ... if not ... sit at the back with the rest of us. I totally understand what he's talking about in class, but sometimes when I look the the text, I feel like its from another class.

Nice guy but as a prof he expects you to be a mind-reader. Not very helpful when I needed help.

WORST PROFESSOR IN THE WORLD! His class was incredibly boring, useless and stupid! It was like he pulled questions for his tests and exams out of the air! If you possibly can take another teacher for first year physical geography!

Comment:

His classes were kind of boring but if you go to class and take notes it's easy to do good. He usually tells you exactly what to study, but he can sometimes be unclear even if you really pay attention. I finished with an 80 with minimal effort.

I find he skirts around the information, and just hopes that the students understand what he means.

If you want to learn stats and understand it then he's the guy to take it with. If you are willing to work and don't mind a little head scratching then take it with him

Did not want to take stats but required in program. Anticipated months of slogging, found prof bending over backwards to make course accesible for soc sci students. Nice guy, patient to non-math types. Got A, but struggled for it.
