This Geo104 class is honestly the 1st online class that I have taken where I'm not stressing&worrying about deadlines&the amount of work I have to submit until then. Just do the discussions&pass the tests, which is every 2-3 weeks. Get the book, read the ch. assigned per week , read/review provided slides and you'll pass. Really laid back class.

Professor Cavan is a very nice professor who is also passionate about teaching geography. There are quizzes every week but he'll provide you with a lecture on them as well as optional office hours, which I recommend going to because he helps the students that go to it the most! Definitely would take a class with him again!

Best Prof in San Diego! You learn real world knowledge that is highly fascinating. He is very supportive to all students. Read one chapter with one quiz per week, 2 discussion posts, one extra credit writing, and one final exam all open book open note. Fair grader. Reading Maps are important! I took all my Geography classes with Donald Cavan!

I took GEOG101 during summer 2024, Prof.Gavan module videos made it so easy to understand the topics for each week. There is extra credit zoom meeting but they are not mandatory. Only two discussion posts and the rest are quizzes the answer are in the module videos.I totally recommend taking his class, I will be taking his class next semester100/10

I took Physical Geography during the summer of 2024. He was well-organized and provided video lectures, slides, and exam reviews.  There were two quizzes each week but no more than 13 questions. He also gave extra credit to students who attended Zoom meetings. There were two quizzes each week but no more than 13 questions. He was very nice.

He was a good professor. He often has good emotions because I realized that he was smiling a lot. His lectures were good and easy to understand. During quizzes, he let us use notes and Google. He also has a great sense of humor.

Professor Cavan, is very thorough in his lectures, the power point slides, have almost all the info. Be sure to take not of mentions that do not appear on slides. He was a wealth of knowledge and a very pleasant experience throughout the semester. He even started to add in closing segments for quiz prep later in the semester.

Open note tests, clear lectures. He asks you to read the chapters but I got through without buying the book.

He is very funny. He likes to get everyone in class involved with the lecture and he is always there to help.

Take weekly quizzes that aren't too difficult. Around the middle of the semester at the end of his lectures, he begins to show the questions that will be on the quiz so you aren't surprised. Hes the goat.
