Reviews of professor Peter Ekman

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
DO THE READINGS, that is the only way you will learn. I went to every lecture and discussion but really didn't have any great takeaways. He talks a lot, but doesn't say much, so it is crucial that you read and teach yourself. No text on lecture slides (not even clear definitions of terms. He rambles, but clearly passionate and knowledgeable.

Truly passionate professor. Super friendly and will spark up a conversation after or before class. Cal is lacking on giving this man tenure.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Passionate and knowledgeable, yet rambles during lectures and uses an unnecessarily pretentious tone. Takes attendance sporadically and assigns dense readings. His class strayed very far from my expectations---it was basically about geographic thought & how social constructs affect the physical landscape *boring*. Would not recommend.
