Very Easy! If you take notes and pay attention there is no need to buy the book! All the questions on his tests are from his notes. Good Luck!
A crazy, crazy, crazy man! But good! Very good. Part of the reason why I'm sticking around for another semester.
He is wonderful! I loved going to class because he was always informative and interesting. His tests are easy as long as you study your notes. For the ladies, he has a really large package...I think he chooses his pants just to show it off.
to easy didn't want to go to class...ever. still passed.
exams easy, take notes, attend, and don't buy the book
this man is a great professor if you have a chance to take his class do so easy grade
Very easy as long as you pay attention in class and get all the notes. There is no sense in buying the book. He knows what he is talking about.
take notes, pay attention, don't bother w/ the book. great prof, you will like him (unless you suck) he knows what he's talking about, and answers any questions.
You cannot leave Edinboro without knowing him. It's about time. Take any of his class. He is the best man and my brother.
Excellent Prof. Dont bother with the book. Take very good notes and study them well. Tests are strictly from notes. He has a passion for what he teaches and is very knowledgable. You'll be glad you took his class.
Very good instructor who really knows His Geo. Don't buy the book, you won't need it. Just take good notes and participate in the discussions.
DONT BUY THE BOOK. easy class, but i still struggled to get an A b/c of sleeping in class. didnt think i learned much...but beginning to realize i have a better and broader sense of geography. easy tests.
His accent and gentle voice rather ruins his lectures. He's a very gentle-hearted fellow and very helpful and sympathetic.
Excellent professor. Very intelligent, kind, and understanding. He is also incredibly hot.
He is very nice guy and great professor
i was really excited about this class, but he's killed geography. In fact, it doesn't even seem like he teaches geography... so if you AREN'T interested in Geography, take this class, if you are, try someone else
His use of PowerPoint makes the lecture boring.
Very pleasant lecturing voice and appearance. Tests reflect knowledge gained and pertain to covered subject.
Excellent professor. Knows his material WELL. Very humble and nice guy. Does anything he can to help you and loves to share his knowledge as much as he can. The class is very basic and straight-forward, just like the tests are. Just review your daily notes and you will do well on the tests. Lots of good videos too!! Not bad at all...
This man was born to teach.
I must say, Ghosheh is a kind, mild-mannered little man, but his accent is kind of thick, and he is a bit too-softspoken. Not especially engaging, but he is knowledgeable.
he really seems to care about the students and also likes the material
the class is all based around lectures and videos. do not buy the book! you will not need it. i never opened my all semster and i have a b+. the tests are all mutliple choice and pretty easy for the most part. i would take another class from him!!
Don't buy the book, I got an A and never cracked it!!!! Listen to the lecture/videos and take good notes. He tells VERY INTERESTING stories!! I will take a class from him again.
This professor is very intelligent. He knows a lot about the subject, yet doesn't treat students as if they are inferior for not having the same amount of knowledge. Very very down to earth, patient, (and attractive). Take him if you get the chance.
I am not a geography major, but I had him for world geog. once and had to take him twice more, I tried to fit him in everywhere. I learned so much from him, he knows everything about everywhere. The only way you can't love him is to just not be interested in learning anything new about the world. If I wasn't graduating, I'd take him again.
He is a very caring professor, about the students and material. Very nice. If you have any questions,just ask. He is more than willing to help you however he can. 110% recommended
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MAN! At first I thought the class was just an easy A, but by the end I realized I loved this class and learned so much I almost changed my major. Pay attention, take notes, and ask questions. He is extremely helpful and genuinely wants students to learn. He is passionate about what he teaches. I learned alot from the videos.
Professor Ghosheh presents the information from your text in a very understandable way. His test are fair and if you study you will be able to get an A easily. I learned a great deal from this class.
He is very helpful! Understands if you can't make it to every class. Tests are not to bad, just take notes and listen when he lecture. He is very nice and approachable.
Just take good notes in class, the tests are all based on notes. You don't use your text book at all.
He really kept my interest in class. Nice guy. Only 4 tests, some coloring, but if u wanna do well on the test you have to go to class and get his notes.

He's a cool guy. The tests can be tricky, but if you know your notes you'll do fine. He tells you to read the chapters but there's really no point. Class can be boring at times. But all in all, decent class.
Mid-East geography~ Super easy if you already know just about anything about the region. He tends to teach as if we are retarded with a lot of repetition but if you don't know anything, it makes the test a breeze. You don't need the book and the assigned readings aren't needed for the tests and aren't discussed in class. Easy +A.
He's the best geography professor out there, so take him if you get the chance. You learn a lot, he keeps it interesting, and his tests aren't that hard, although you do have to study - but that's just a part of college, isn't it? There isn't much class participation, so I guess it can get boring sometimes, but like I said, it's a piece of cake.
KNows his stuff...very good teacher. I liked coloring the maps. Class can be a little boring but the movies were interesting. Didn't use the book at all.
Pretty easy class, you DO NOT need the book, the tests are easy and he drops one test grade.
Vehemently hates America and constantly bashes us... then again he's a college professor so get used to it. The class wasn't too bad aside from that. He tries to trick you on the test questions though.
Awesome teacher. really easy. teaches everthing thats on the test
Class isn't too bad. He does tend to show how other countries are better than us. It could be because he uses our country as an example because most of us are familiar with our own culture so it would be easy for us to compare and understand what he is saying. Final is comprehensive so there is a lot of material to study.
Great class....learned so much about Asia.
cool guy but tests can be tricky. if you study your notes you'll do fine. all in all, decent class
Great class. Everybody should take this course....best course at the Boro, covers many countries and topics that all students should learn. Tests can be tricky but overall, a great course.
Teacher was interesting. He gave me knowledge on many things I never knew before. The tests are all multiple choice and a few map questions. Take down all the notes in class! I had a tough time on the tests confusing some of the material. I would say a B is achievable with minimal effort.
dr.Baher Ghosheh was very enlightening- i took his geo of the middle east class my last semester of my sr. year and i was highly informed- hes a brilliant man with a wealth of knowledge about the middle east- he brought in food for us to try from other countries which i found a nice idea- great class to take to relax and absorb!!
geography isn't my best subject but he somehow makes it interesting didn't use the book at all, read the notes and study the maps and you will do fine. Don't pick a front seat, his B.O. stinks horribly bad I unfortunately sit in a front seat and have to cover my nose everytime he walks by bc it's that bad, With minimal effort a B is highly possible
Geo of Asia was a interesting class. You will learn so much about Asia and Dr. Ghosheh is a nice and helpful professor.
Great Professor, His lectures are from the book mostly but does add some of his own knowledge. Highly recommend this professor. Tests are easy. He does not try to trick you. You either know the material or you dont!
He was a very good teacher, very clear & made sure that you understood what you were learning. I highly recommend him.
Great Prof. Tests are mostly on ideas rather than facts. its a must to be at each class and a lot of test material is on lecture notes rather than book.
Very nice guy. Helpful when needed. I hate geography, but the class wasnt too bad. Tests are based on ideas that he talks about in class. DOnt skip, youll get behind.
Very nice guy, yet is kind of tough if you are not geographically inclined. Can thoroughly understand everything he says in class, yet his tests are very hard. Read every word in the book and study every statistic he gives you and you should be fine. Very nice and kind but difficult.
Had him for honors geography. He is sometimes hard to understand but is a very good guy. Tests are mostly about class work but at least look over the textbook.
I was put off by the level of bias in his lectures. He really tries to tear apart the US by saying how much better every other country is. If you ever fact check professors or have prior knowledge don't take this guy. He will try to make Geography a Poli Sci class and brainwash you. He even claims to know how much oil exists beyond known reserves.
I had to take the course and did not know what to expect. After 5 years of college, I can say I learned more in world geography than in any other course. His tests are hard but the class was very interesting and informative.
Loved it. Learned so much about Asia, Japan, China, India. He uses many short video in class and share his experience living and visiting these countries. Very interesting. Makes me want to travel to all those places.
The man knows his stuff. He teaches from knowlegable sources and from his experiences. I generally did well in his classes. I was fairly enlightened by the course. His handwriting's rough at times, but I've seen worse. He can be hard to get in contact with outside of office hours. Good with OSD students.
Dr. Ghosheh is a great Professor. He is very knowledgeable about the subjects he teaches and is willing to help with anything you. Tests are multiple choice and True or False, while homework assignments are few and far between. Hes a great guy and I pumped to take another one of his courses next semester.
Tests are all stats.
Dr. Ghosheh is the man! I hate historygeography but he actually made class bearable. His tests are really hard so you really have to study but everything on the tests is in the notes you take in class, so DON'T skip!! I never opened my book, only used my notes, and got an A. The project is super easy, he doesn't expect much from it. 100% recommend
Dr. Ghosheh is a great professor, but his tests are ridiculously difficult. I studied for an entire week before a test and still did poorly. Make sure you take notes on EVERYTHING he is saying, and always go over the most random facts because they will always be on the test.
The powerpoints are long and cover so much info, I had a hard time studying for this class. The tests are hard and cover things we barely talk about. The only thing that saved my grade were the maps we had to color. Taking notes in this class is so annoying. The only good thing is that he drops your lowest quiz grade.
He is a really nice professor that knows a lot but his test are impossible!! The study guides do not help at all. I tried tutors, reading the book, study guides and never got higher than a C on any test!
Learned a lot from this class! Ghosheh is very knowledgeable of the subject. If you study often for his tests, you can get a B in class. Definitely go to class and pay attention because his lectures are important for the tests! Didn't use the textbook at all. Very few homework assignments.
His class is difficult. He lectures every class so make sure you attend and take good notes. The readings do help but you want to make sure you show up to class and actually pay attention during lecture. Tests, maps, and your final presentation are what's graded. He does drop your lowest test grade, but still make sure you do really well on tests.
He was alright, as an instructor he was a little unorganized, but his material was very easy and is pretty smart. He seems like a very nice man and often made little jokes in class. I enjoyed learning about the world, but this class felt too easy and unorganized for me.
This class is very tough however, you will get through it! I recommend finding a note taker if you are an OSD student. This is a very lecture, heavy class. The good news is, he drops the lowest test score! Do not be afraid to ask questions. Dr. BG is a nice person and loves to see individuals who put forth an effort. I recommend using Quizlet .
He talks about Edinboro more than actual geography. His powerpoints are often unclear and poorly organized, if you dont read the book on your own time youll have a hard time in class. I find this class generally unbearable.
For this to be considered a "101" class is beyond me. The professor makes it difficult to pass the tests. It's very lecture heavy and provides notes in powerpoint but they are hard to understand what he means. Tests are like the notes but very specific questions and has the option "all the above" on almost all the questions. Coloring maps too :/
Actually a very nice guy! His class may have been a little challenging, but it never got to the point where I wanted to drop the class entirely. He'll say that you need a textbook, but you really don't. I rented mine out for the class, and only brought it in once or twice. Everything else in his class is either lectures or tests.
Dr. Ghosheh is a nice guy and I enjoyed the class. Everything you need for the tests is in the presentations and they are all online. Beware though there is small stuff he mentions in the presentations that he sneaks in and it will catch you if you don't take good notes or pay attention. He drops the worst of the three tests and curves the final.
Tests are very difficult. His PowerPoint are on D2L but are extremely vague and not helpful if you missed the class. He is a very nice guy and his lectures are interesting. Tests are very in depth. Not a class you can get by without studying.
Save yourself the headache and do not take this class. Dr. Ghosheh will give you power points and videos to study then ask about completely different information on the tests. He also does not tell you what you got wrong and just posts the grade.
He is so sweet, I recommend taking him. He has been one of my favorite professors. I learned so much in this class. His tests are tricky, but he gives a lot of extra credit!
Very unprofessional. His course scheduale is hard to follow. Would not recommend this class to anyone.
I love him! He is so nice and willing to help. As long as you take notes, you will pass. He is a fair grader too! He talks pretty fast but after a few weeks, you get used to it. I highly recommend him. He is so nice!!!
