Mr. Blackburn is a really nice guy, and is easy to get along with. He uses power point for the notes, which he blazes through. You have to continuously tell him to slow down, and move out of the way of the screen/board. He gives quizzes throughout the semester that are worth 20 points each (each quiz has 20 questions on it -- multiple choice with a few T/F), and he drops your lowest quiz score. There are three exams (includes the final). These are mostly multiple choice with a few T/F, and there is a map where you have to label countries, major cities, landforms, and regions. These test are pretty hard. When I had him, on the first test, the class average was 66%. You will have to read every chapter thouroghly (and they are long chapters). You will spend most of the class trying to copy down the power point notes before he clicks to the next screen because he refuses to post his notes on Blackboard, or give you a copy of them. If you are dedicated to studying then you will do fine, but you can't wing it in this class. Expect to memorize lots of information. He is a good teacher, but he expects you to study and really know the material.
