Professor was very sweet and accommodating. She taught lectures well and listening to her gave you a pretty good understanding of the course material overall. I would def take another geography class with her again.

I really enjoyed this class despite not even knowing what cultural geography was when I enrolled. Professor Faier was super clear in her lectures and if you take notes on everything and do the readings, it isn't too hard to get an A. The midterm essays are super time consuming, but it only lasts for one weekend and that's pretty much all the work you do for the class. Although we were given the option to skip the final because of COVID circumstances, I know it is nearly identical to the midterm. The readings are an absolute must for the midterm and final (which are nearly all of your grade). Overall I recommend this class as a GE! **I'm selling the course reader for this class in like-new condition! No marks or highlighting. Email ************* **

The class had a lot of reading and depending on your TA could have more assignments. The test is based on lectures and reading, there were things on the test that were only talked about in the lecture and at times there were things on the test that was only in the readings.

Although Prof Faier is not the nicest professor, she is still very fair and a good teacher overall. In terms of workload there is a lot of reading from the course reader but there are only 4 reading reflections (1-2 pages double spaced) with an in class written midterm and in class written final. I genuinely feel like I learned a lot from this class even if Prof Faier wasn't the friendliest or the funniest. I personally read most of the course reader but if you study her slides for the midterm and final you should be able to get a solid grade just maybe not an A+. The slides cover most of the info but there are still some details that might come up on the tests that are in the course reader. Only problem I would say for this class is one of the course readers was $100 and the other $18 due to royalties on the articles. Overall don't expect to breeze through this class but if you study and pay attention this class should be totally doable.

I personally had Professor Boatright who used the exact same materials as Professor Faier. This was honestly the best GE class i have ever taken from the interesting readings to an awesome TA(Mr. Walker is the man). I may be bias because I had such a great TA but the workload is very minimal. 8 pages of writing split up into 4 2page paper assignments due every other week. Definitely recommend taking this class.

Lieba Faier is a wonderful professor! This class is definitely not easy, but if you do all the required work you will be fine. The readings are manageable and not hard or time consuming, but you must do them to understand what is going on in the class. The TAs were great and went over concepts more in depth from lecture. The midterm is definitely tougher than the final, I think they graded the final much easier, everyone did much better than they did on the midterm. Overall a really engaging, applicable class!

Pretty easy class. As long as you attend all the lectures, take notes, and READ, you'll be fine. Also, going to discussions is very important. Papers due every week or two and participation counts! You'll learn a lot during discussions (two hours). Mid terms and finals can be pretty long and tedious. Lots of writing!!
AND selling both course readers!! $45
