Had 4 grades which were over 90 and had one grade around 65. I talked to him and he dropped my lowest grade. He is very nice. His lectures are amazing. Dont play with ur phone, take notes. Trust me, just listen to him for 10 minutes, then Ull see its not that boring. There is no easy class in WPU. This class was less harder.

EXCELLENT PROFESSOR--EXPLAINS GEOGRAPHICAL TERMS AND CONCEPTS IN A MATER-OF-FACT FASHION THAT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND. END OF THE SEMESTER PROJECT WAS VERY TIME CONSUMING AND CONSTRUCTIVE--AND I RECEIVED AN A FOR THE PROJECT AND AN A FOR THE ENTIRE COURSE. WOULD DEFINATELY TAKE THE COURSE WITH PROF. THOMAS OWUSU ALL OVER AGAIN.

Hes very nice and he loves what he does. Just take notes and study your notes and the pages that he tells you to read. Its really easy to get A with little work. But if you dont study, trust me you cant get over C. You also need the text book.

There's only two quizzes and three tests the entire semester. It really isn't a hard class as long as you take good notes. Just make sure you study or you're screwed. Pretty boring class but no homework.

This guy acts like you're taking his class for more than just to reach your credit requirement. You basically learn nothing worth your time in this class. I thought taking him online would be a nice way to end my career at WPU while reaching the 120 credits, but its a lot of work. Wouldn't recomend if you're looking for a fluffer type class

This is a great professor and you will do a lot of work. He expects students to read and read, but it's for a reason. Although I took this class to complete my credit requirements for graduation, I just wish my last class at WPU would have been a little easier. You will work a lot in this class.

Overral he was a very nice man but it was a little hard to understand him with his accent. He gives about 2 quizzes and 2 tests and a paper towards the end of the semester. His tests are pretty easy as long as you study the material. It's definitely not a hard class you just have to study for the quizzes because they are just short answers.

Dr. Owusu is an excellent professor. He does a fantastic job with his lectures and is very keen on getting the class involved. In fact, I found myself to truly enjoy what geography has to offer because of him.

Dr. Owusu is one of my favorite professors!! Really enjoyed his classes. You'll have to get pass his accent but other wise, he's a really nice professor. Only 3 exams and they are so easy. Always gives an outline and they are very helpful. He never gives homework, just an easy country paper due at the end of the semester. Definitely take him.

TAKE HIM! 3 tests which have an outline for each. Questions are directly on test. One 4-page paper due at the end. His accent is tough, but you'll get used to it. Ends class early every lecture. The notes on power points will be on the test. Takes attendance.

He was one of my favorite professors. You have to get past his ancient but he's a really easy professor. He NEVER gives homework and whenever he gives a quiz or test, he always gives an outline of whats on it and he usually gives the outline about 2 weeks ahead of time. Only used the book for some information on test/quiz.

Professor Owusu was wonderful. Maybe I'm a bit jaded, as I did well, but I loved this class last semester. You DO have to get past his accent, and his handwriting isn't the best, but other than that, he was one of my favorite professors.

Has an accent, but personally I got past that. No homework ever. He gives an outline for every quiztest that basically states exactly what you need to study. Some quizzes require you to read the textbook, but he tells you exactly what you need to read. If you study all the right material and do the country report you'll definitely pass.
