PLAN 1010

PLAN103 was a class that I took to see if I wanted to persue this topic further. I definitely am glad that I took it. Beatley is a very well travelled professor, he takes pictures everywhere that he goes and puts them in his powerpoints. He is great at relating his experiences to the examples that we discuss in class. Also, REALLY easy. Reading is "required".

Beatley is the epitome of professor stereotype- super excited about his subject in an adorably geeky way. He covers interesting topics and makes lectures more personal and interactive. Outside reading isn't necessary if attend lectures, but does help. Very straightforward tests, and paper isn't hard.

Great guy, but not a great lecturer. But the material is still very interesting on its own. Class gets somewhat repetitive.

Great professor. Very approachable and excited about the topic. Worth taking even if not highly interested in Planning.

Class seems like its 7 hours long and drags on but there is minimal work for a good grade.

Really interesting class, with zero homework except for one 10 page paper. Do not need to do the readings, just come to class and you will be prepared for the midterm and final.

Although the material taught in this class is very interesting, lectures were some of the most boring I've ever experienced. They were very redundant, and did not move fast enough. Professor Beatley is very enthusiastic about his subject, but that can almost get in the way of lecture progressing quick enough. He has a habit of entertaining dumb questions far too much.

The class itself though is very easy to get an A- or B+ with very little work. It's rather hard to get an A though, as points are deducted off the midterm and final for stupid things.

Only three grades, a midterm, a paper, and a final.

Beatley is very enthusiastic and lectures are for the most part somewhat interesting. If you want to do well in this class just go to lecture. A significant amount of reading is assigned, but as long as you go to lecture and skim through some of the readings, you'll ace the 2 exams. The 15 page paper was a pain, though.

Worst class, worst lecturer. I used to sleep or do the crossword. Don't know why people spoke so highly of this class.

Easy A, non-stress class. There is a Midterm, Final, and a paper. He gives you a study sheet for the Midterm (4 pages of terms/places) and then you have to define 7 of them and write 1 essay. Don't freak out nerds. Same for the final. The paper is what you get for not having to do a single bit of work all semester, suck it up. Too easy.
