Comment:

Professor Courter is REAL, approachable and keeps the class moving. Although lecture heavy, he is not boring. He shares his personal travel experiences to make subject more interesting. His tests are based on lecture and maps; for the essay question, he gives you the answer - verbatim. Quizzes are done in groups. Do the work - pass the class

He's Amazing! He's funny & breaks down everything for you to easily understand. He obviously loves what he does & helps you out a lot. Just show up to his lectures & you'll pass. Your only hw is basically to read the textbook but he explains everything so well it's not even necessary. Highly recommend!

i took him for Geog 101 and the Geog 101L, his class will be hard if you don't take good notes. He keeps his lectures very interesting and funny by telling his life stories. he also gives 20 points extra credit if you come to class every day and another 20 points if you get 100% on all the map quizzes

Comment:

Keeps lectures on point but does it so that the class stays focused; he also lets you know what info to pay close attn to because it'll be on the test. For tests, you're allowed a 3x5 notecard to use as a cheat sheet, questions are based heavily on lectures, and lets you know what essay question will be on exam. Do the work, you'll get an A.

What an amazing professor! Gladly would make the 1 1/2 hour commute to SAC just for his class. His passion for the subject truly inspired me. Favorite part was how in his presentations he had photographs that he had taken on his many adventures! Hilarious and well traveled! Take this class and appreciate Prof. Courter

He is surely the BEST! He makes his lectures fun but stays on topic. Take good notes, read the book and you will pass his class. For me, he made me fall in love with Geography. There are a lot of definitions to memorize for both 100 and 101 but some of those definitions are easy to memorize. I totally recommend to take his class.

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE professor courter! Best ever, i was actually excited to go to his class. He made geography interesting. Never wears shoes lol, such a cool funny guy. Don't think you'll pass if you miss more than 2days + & reading the book is a necessity. It is a science course, so its a lot of definitions

One of the best prof I have ever had. I always looked forward to coming to his classes because his lecture were so amazing and his stories were so hilarious. It was kinda like a hybrid of stand up comedy and educational lectures which always kept the class engaged. TAKE HIS CLASS, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

I fell in love with this class! Definitely one of the best professors I've taken. Incredibly passionate about what he teaches so it makes the class enjoyable. The tests were pretty tough for me but with lots of studying, reviewing the terms and reading the book you'll be sure to pass!! Also, study for quizzes. All points matter!

Lectures are pretty amazing and spoton on what to study from. A lot of memorizing for the map quiz but easy. Use the study guide to help with reading quizes(3). Exams you need to study. He gives you the answers for the essay questions basically memorize and write it back. Overall great class !

Comment:

Professor Courter is very hilarious. He's gonna make you feel relaxed in this vague class. However, exams are quite rating your IQ I've got an A due to reading every single word in the book carefully and drawing what I don't understand. Again, reading book is essential to get a high grade! Courter also gives lots of extra credit so good luck!

Courter was one of the best teachers at SAC he teaches the material with clarity. His tests aren't difficult if you study. Like he says in his class "this isn't a sociology class where you can just come in, not study and get an A." His grades are from his tests and quizzes and attendance. If you take notes and learn the terms you will be fine!
