Comment:

He is a really boring professor. Unless you like sitting through lectures the whole class period, I do not recommend taking any of his courses. He does not show power points or write lessons on the board. He basically just talks, so make sure to listen and take thorough notes if you want to be successful in his class.

Comment:

There's no textbook, but he will provide you with A LOT of reading to be done for every class period. Participation & attendance make up a large portion of the grade. I feel like I didn't learn anything, but I was already knowledgeable on the subject to begin with. A few papers, no tests.

Comment:

Lindberg really knows his stuff and gets you to think about topics you may not have considered. He mostly lectures and it can be a little boring so stay engaged and he likes when people participate. I have taken 3 classes with him, Just participate and don't fail the tests; it's an easy A in my opinion.

Comment:

This class was hard to sit through. He lectures the entire class. You need to be paying attention closely because his lectures are what the tests are based off of. If you do not take good notes, then you will not do well on the exams. He looks for very specific answers on tests. I think he is a nice person, just not the greatest professor.

Really good professor. More than fair grading, lectures are a bit long but they're engaging and interesting. I looked forward to this class, everything a college professor should be. I wholly recommend his classes.

Comment:

Dr. Lindberg really knows what he is talking about and makes his lectures easy to understand. There is no work outside of class other than a paper and studying for tests. Tests are not too bad if you take good notes and study. I found his class to be extremely boring though, as he just talks at you the entire time.

Comment:

Dr. Lindberg is a fantastic professor. He is very passionate about Geography and is very helpful. He knows what he is talking about and speaks from experience. He doesn't give out homework assignments and the tests are very straight-forward. Great man. Also, he's pretty hot for an older man.

I took Political Geography with Dr. Lindberg as well as did Model UN. He is a great professor. If you read the book and take extensive notes in his class you will get an A, I guarantee it!

Great teacher. Yes, the class is hard, but if you have a question, just ask. Also, take notes, study the study guides. Although, now that I see him walking around campus, I'm happy I took the class when I did, the 1970's beard needs to go. But still he's a great teacher.

I had absolutely no interest in geography but Lindberg teaches in a way that makes you understand so its easy to the stuff. He prefers u be in class but u can miss. It also says to read the book but as long as you pay attention u dont have to..just review your notes. 2 tests(2 essay 10 MC and 5 sh. answer?s)a final and one easy research paper.

Dr. Lindberg was passionate about the course material, and was willing to help anytime you needed it. If you participate in class, read the sections, and take notes you will excel on his tests. Homework was non existent, papers were easy. Highly recommend.

Comment:

WOW! Hard class, not what I expected. Did not feel like a 100 level class, more like graduate level. Covers a lot of material in great detail. He is unorganized in his lecture (jumps back and forth). No homework, except for a term paper. Class is more about economics and politics and not about cultures of the developing world. Take notes and study!

Comment:

Probably one of the best classes i have ever taken. The man relates outside problems to everyday situations and makes them clear. i would take the class again if i could. makes you think about problems, watch movies, hardly any homework. take the notes and you will be fine. recommend this class for anyone willing to get a new view of things.
