Probably the most useless and boring course I took at UVA. Not difficult but not very educational either.

This course is fairly easy. Lectures are kind of boring but the material is interesting. Beatley is amazing in his field but unfortunately cannot get all his ideas out in lecture and often goes over timewise. But I would still recommend this class as an easy course!

Lectures are really boring. Reading isn't related to the midterm and final. You don't need to read or go to class to do well. Just review the list of terms he gives out and you're fine.

This class is super easy - you don't need to do the readings, and you don't really need to pay attention in class, just cram for the midterm and final, and you'll do well. The paper is annoying, but the professor didn't even seem like it was that serious.

The course emphasizes the environmental planning aspect. This can be frustrating because a lot of the lectures are the same general ideas that aren't really feasible in America. I didn't find the class to be terribly insightful, but it also wasn't very difficult.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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