Comment:
The class is very stimulating if you prefer textbook style lectures verses laidback lectures. Expect to study quite vigorously for the exams to make an A, unless you have a solid background in Geography. Otherwise, his lecturs are full of interesting information. If you like Geography, of course :)

I had the most intriguing learning experience from Dr. Palmer. The only reason that I got a B in that class was that my TA was a useless piece of trash and made us do geography coloring books for credit and didn't teach crap. I would gotten a C+ in the class but Dr. Palmer knew what I was going through so he bumped me to a B and saved my GPA.

Avoid him at all cost. If he's your advisor you WILL NOT graduate. He will go out of his way to avoid you.

Comment:
Keep up with the readings and study the map quizzes pretty well. As long as you do well on those and pay attention in class you'll get an A in the course. He has a tendency to go on rants that get long and boring, but the class overall isn't horrible.

Lectures were a lot of fun and engaging and taught at a slow pace. We only made it through 3 of the 9 sections he had listed in the syllabus. Very nice guy outside of class also.

Don't ever take him as an advisor. Seems like a nice guy in class, but outside of class you might as well not exist.
