Comment:
He's the first professor that I've ever had that's been super chill and can explain what he's trying to convey to everyone in simple terms without people getting lost. The course wasn't too intense, but you have to come to class! He puts his lecture slides online but he leaves some slides blank, so you can fill it out in class.

Straight up legend. Great class. He is incredibly easy to understand, and really wants his students to succeed. He brings Chipotle to class sometimes too. 10/10 would take again. He is really understanding. I don't know how he always looks so fresh either.

Brent was very clear and thorough, it was obvious to me that his main goal was to get students to learn. He really cares about his subject and makes everything interesting. Tests and assignments are totally manageable, just make sure not to miss any classes. Brent is super understanding and helpful, wants the best for his students.

Comment:
Geog 101 was probably one of my favorite courses this term. Brent Doberstein helped Geog 101 achieve that level of greatness. His marking was based on 3 quizzes and an assignment. The quizzes were rather simple (2 multiple choice, 1 short answer) and the assignment was a breeze if you followed instructions. Everything is worth 25% each. 10/10 great

Brent has been great so far! I come out of his lectures feeling like I've learned something and compared to some other classes, that's a big deal. He's clear with what his expectations are which is super helpful, especially for first years. He's inspired me to want to pursue more specific geography topics in the future.

Had Brent first term of Uni and last term of Uni, he hasn't changed. Very nice and consistent prof. Still leaves blanks in his slides so best to attend class. Tests and papers are easy as long as you pay attention in class. No final and shows interesting documentaries.

Brent is the best. His lectures are interesting and clear. He explains things in multiple ways and give lots of examples, the reading helps a lot but as long as you go to class you would do well. He is thoughtful and tries to save you money with the textbook. I plan on taking more courses with him for sure.

Brent is an amazing prof. His lectures are interesting and correspond with the textbook perfectly. He puts all of his slides on learn, making it easy to study for the few tests that make up your grade. If you go to class you shouldn't even need to study because he explains things so well.

Doberstein deals very well with what he is given: a massive undergrad class for human geography. His lectures are well crafted, align well with the textbook, and follow a logical flow. If you attend lectures, review the slides, and read the textbook, you should be able to get a good mark without much fuss. Get the textbook from the library.
