Any UW students in Geography? Starting in GEM this fall and looking for advice on classes/profs etc. 11 points, 9 comments

u/Odzinic: “Try to take Geog 101 with Brent Doberstein. He was a great prof and it was fairly easy to do well on his tests. One of my favourite classes. I ended up taking Geog 206 (Natural Hazards) course as an elective because I enjoyed him so much.”
u/arabis: “… If you enjoy Brent's teaching style--and I bet you will!--then you can take GEOG 206: Human dimensions of natural hazards with him. Otherwise, I would suggest sitting down with the course calender to come up with a list of interesting/required courses. …”
