Comment:

I would summarize Ben in these words the greatest professor to ever grace planet earth. He is the funniest person ever, and he is a great teacher. My second class with him, 4 exams (drops lowest grade) and a easy project (guaranteed A+) Tests are very easy I did not study. He is an easy A and a fantastic professor. I want to be his best friend.

Professor Liu is hilarious! Take notes on things he emphasizes in class and write down the notes on the powerpoints and you will easily do well on his exams.

This is my third course with Prof. Liu & let me tell you how hilarious he is and how wonderful is the courses he taught. He's the professor that will go easy on you while still making you learn. No textbook required and no participation required. There's a total of 3 midterm which he'll drop the lowest grade and one final. All easy A. He's the best

Ben Liu is the greatest professor i have taken at willy p. I took GEO 3310 with him as well and the format is the same. 4 quizes and he drops the lowest one and one group project. He truly makes the class enjoyable and i wish i was able to take him more. He has a little bit of an accent but it just makes the class better

Comment:

Dr. Liu is very knowledgeable about World Geography. He gives four exams and the lowest grade is dropped. There is also one presentation that makes up one-quarter of the student's grade. However, he can get sidetracked and not finish his lectures. He also gives minor details about the content that appears on exams.

HE IS HILARIOUS! He would make class so interesting. NO homework, no quizzes. Just 1 easy presentation, a mid term and final. I never took notes in his class and passed with an A. He make lecture so funny that you will literally remember what the answers are on the test. He makes sure he talks about subjects that will be on the test. TAKE HIM !

Only two exams and classwork. HYBRID class. Exams cover everything from the book to his examples given in class. Exam contain information that was never learned. Hilarious professor though

Comment:

Prof. Liu has a strong passion for geography. He knows how to keep his students engaged in the material. Passing the class requires active participation, studying and passing exams, and a presentation. The exams are not cumulative and the questions are not that bad if you study. He gives each student a lot of time to work on their presentation.

One of the funniest professors I ever had. You take 4 test and a PowerPoint project(which is very easy, he gives a lot of time to work on it). Just show up to class, take notes (which aren't a lot), study the notes and you'll be fine.

Super lenient guy and gives incentives to come to every class, which is great. you don't need the book but definitely copy down all the lecture material because his test consists of just that. You get 4 tests and a power point presentation and he drops the lowest grade.

Really funny guy. Teaches a lot of material and the tests reflect that. Did poorly on the first Bc he takes from lecture. Pay attention to things he says & take notes on pwr pts. 1 presentation project. 4 tests depending on what deal he makes with the class. (Drops lowest grade^) cool guy. Knows his stuff. Most importantly,he's hilarious.

Comment:

I gave him a 4/5 on clarity because sometimes he's hard to understand but he is such a funny professor. I had him for an 8 AM class and it definitely woke me up. I only used the textbook to clarify my notes but other than that it's really not required. Attendance is mandatory but it's 15% of your grade which is A LOT so go to class. An easy A.

I like this Professor, he is helpful. You have to do one class presentation. Also you have to take 4 test in the BlackBoard with Open Notes. If you want to get a good grade in Geography, I say take his class. Trust Me.
