He is a nice teacher, I took this class online and it was great, I even finished earlier than expected. He grades everything right away and gives you feedback on everything. Easy class to complete your GenEds and get an A, no complains at all!

Comment:

He never addressed students by name, and other than a letter grade, you don't get any feedback on your essay/presentation. Only 2 exams, but the first one is hard. You have to label every African country on a map. Still, he's not bad, he does have knowledge about other contries, and he'll help you/answer your questions as best he can.

Completely Useless class.You will learn nothing about Geography. I think John Edwards is poor he is always asking students to bring food in for him and his son.

Comment:

This guy was awesome! He actually made class interesting. This is not your typical geography class. You spend little time with maps and more time learning about the political environments of geographic areas around the world. He does pick on some students, but only the ones giving him attitude. He won't back down from an argument. Loved his class!

Comment:

Easy A. Yes, he is a bit biased but class is primarily open discussion. He does tend to "tease" students, but only to those who deserved it (not participating, ditching, talking). Gives answers to EVERYTHING and second half of class were presentations. Participation and attendance worth 20 points towards final grade.

Comment:

I don't know what everyone is complaining about. I agree that you don't learn much, but it's definitely an easy A. He is very nice and funny and most students in my class and others who have taken him love him. Tells you everything for tests. Yes the second half of the class is presentations but it's fun and interesting. No reason not to pass.

Comment:

This is the worst teacher I have ever had. This was the biggest joke of a class. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! He has no idea what is going on in his class. You will learn nothing. First half of semester: him spouting off random facts about random things. Seemed like he was just showing off what he knows. Second half is student presentations. Worst class!

Comment:

Prof. Edwards does little to nothing. Has helpers that do all of his work for him, and gives you answers to his tests. Super easy, but incredibly useless as a TEACHER. more like a GRADE GIVER. Shows a lot of bias, non-academic videos about conspiracy theories. Take if you want the credit, but not if you want to actually learn.

Comment:

Easiest class I ever took in my scholastic history. Will go on and on about stuff that has nothing to do with the class, which can be very frusterating. Very biased opinions, and many of the time I don't believe that his stances are factual.No homework, and you never use the book. if you want an Easy A, but not recommended if you want to learn.

What a joke. This is an easy class, but you learn nothing. All he does is spout his random, biased opinions about everything non-geography related. This guy is laughable.

Comment:

Western World Geography: Only 2 homework assignments - to be turned in by the end of the semester. One Speech/Term paper on any geography topic you choose. 2 tests & a final - he gives you study guides but during the review he gives most of the answers. Food is not uncommon in class! He's very laid back & knows his stuff
