I learned a lot in this class. Warren is really cool if you get to know him. Do the reading, write a good paper, and study for the exams and you'll do fine!

2.5 hour class was definitely a pain. The professor speaks in a quiet monotone voice, with the lights down, showing slides through an old-fashioned projecter, slides from the 70s. The information is good, but the class could easily be condensed into a half hour, if not less. Interesting facts about each city, but I would just do the readings and skip the class/nap/bring your laptop.

The professor is quiet and rather boring at times but the class overall is very interesting and requires minimal time. The 2.5 hour long classes are kind of a pain but it's a worthwhile course. There's a midterm, final, and term paper.

Great class for students interested in travel and learning more about the world's most spectacular cities. It is not too hard, but you have to do the reading to get a good grade.

Learning about all the cities is awesome, but the class is long and the Professor is fairly slow. Weekly time commitment is minimal, and there is a midterm, final, and one paper.
