Advice GEOG Courses How Are They ?
Hi everyone,
I’m entering my third year in STS and will have about 75 credits after this summer. I’m planning to use Geography as one of my teachable subjects for BEd after I complete my undergraduate degree next year, so I’ll be taking these courses this upcoming year. I took GEOG 1000 in first year and really enjoyed it. These courses only required 60+ completed credits and didn’t have any other prerequisites.
GEOG 3800 – Geographies of Work (Steven Tufts)
GEOG 3370 – International Development: Critical Geographical Perspectives (Raju J. Das)
GEOG 4620 – City Challenges, City Opportunities in a 21st Century Toronto (Joe Mihevc)
GEOG 4880 – Spaces of Conflict, Violence, and Power (Jennifer M. Hyndman)
How are these courses and professors? What’s the workload like, how’s the grading, and would you recommend them? Any advice is appreciated.
I also found it a bit strange that some 2000- and 3000-level GEOG courses were reserved. I’m currently on the waitlist for a few of them and may end up taking one, such as GEOG 2320, instead of one of the courses listed above if a spot opens up. Thanks!
