His tests and quizzes are hard and don't always seem to be on the things that I think are important to remember but when I needed some help he went way above and beyond to help me finish the class.

His evaluation depend on points from quiz and mid. Almost every week we have quiz which is T or F and 10 questions. we must read text book very carefully. He has three mid tests which are 50 multiple choice no essay. Final is same with mid.

His personality is great, but the class is very hard!! Everyweek has quiz which is T/F. There are 3 tests which are 40 multipul choices and 10 T/F.

Fun, helpful and educational. Be prepaired to learn and not to slack. Come to class prepaired and ask lots of questions. Slows things down and confuses him. Simply study the dang georgaphy and you wil do fine.

fun teacher, helpful

okay class...he is a great guy who doesn't put up with stupid****, like people coming in late, cell phones, and he actually sticks to his rules which is very admirable. don't miss class or you'll miss the notes. its a very easy class just show up and pay attention and you'll do fine.

Sean runs an easy class. A little too easy. He showed too many videos and sometimes had to lecture from notes or a book because he didn't know enough about what he was trying to teach us. hell of a nice guy though!

it was a pretty interesting class. he knew what he was talkin about. study a lot and take notes to do well on the tests or quizes. As long as you pay attention and come to class you'll do fine. very nice guy but strict.

Great Teacher but goes off on tangents. Great guy, funny, overall a good person.

Mr.Booth is a bit nerdy, but very nice and interesting. He wants all of his students to do well and his class isn't boring for the most part. Semi easy but information is abit hard to learn.

Very nice guy, nerdy in a good way (he knows his stuff). He wants everyone to do good, and really tries to help. Gives extra credit. Tests are pretty hard, but it's not really his fault, it's just the material in the class you have to know.

way too boring for me, just seems like monotonous lectures divided by short movies. not too hard and you are guranteed to learn some interesting things. Geography isnt exactly exciting and neither is his class. Hes a little cocky too, but maybe thats just me.

Mr. booth is one of the best professors I have had. He has a great knowledge base, is clearly interested in what he is teaching, and inspires enthusiasm in his students. He is a great teacher and a pleasure to study under.

This class definately wasn't easy. I struggled to get an A and I studied a ton for the tests. He is very knowledgeable of his subject, and he can have his funny moments. The lectures weren't extremely interesting, but a lot from the lectures will be on the tests so take good notes. Just go into the class expecting to work hard.

Booth is a great teacher. Alot of his test questions come from the notes and lect. so take good notes or have a friend that does. When it comes time for a test fill out the study guide that he gives you, he will also go over it with you one on one to make sure you have everything stright. He asks alot but will give you lots of help if you ask for i

Mr. Booth is a professional, discipline and enthusiastic teacher. I'd recommend him if you want to learn about Geography!

I found this class to be very informational. I found it easy to stay on track because Mr. Booth is very organized. He does have a weekly quiz on a continent or chapter. For the most part as long as you read the chapters and study the maps you will do well. There is a lot of homework so if you are looking for a easy class this is not it.

Booth is a nice guy and very well traveled. To me, this class was luke warm water. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good. If you need to get a requirement out, it won't kill you, but it won't inspire you either. Some good global awareness issues were raised but I felt like the class could have been more interactive and interesting. Very textbook.

definitlly recommend his class. very smart guy. informative, modest helpful. do not be late - he hates that. you HAVE to read and study or you will fail. i got a C and studied every chapter but still just enough.

you MUST read your textbook. take notes and ask questions. but i don't like him because the class is real boring, one 10-question quiz a week, 2-midterms and 1 final. He is also very seriouse about class attendence, and not forgiving. If you miss a day and he announces he's moved the midterm, consider yourself screwed. happened to a friend of mine.

Great class, great professor. Booth is very passionate about the subject. Pay attention and take notes - he gives hints of exam questions every lecture. My favorite course yet!

Good teacher, pretty cool/interesting class. It takes work to get the good grade and attendance is important. Lots of small chapter quizzes and three midterms. I will take Booth again if there is another science class I need.

I was surprised to find negative ratings for Mr. Booth. While he is straight-edged about rules, he is fair, cares about his students success, and is enthusiatic about geography. If you pay attention to his lectures, you will do well.

Really nice guy. His tests are pretty hard because they arew tricky and multiple choice usually on details. Study a lot and you will do well. He has traveled everywhere so he tells some cool stories.

he is very passionate which always makes class interesting. he prepares you well for all tests and quizes. u have to read a little of the textbook though. he wants you to succeed and will help you in any way possible. i hate geography but i loved his class

I took cultural geography with Booth. Nice, kinda nerdy guy. Overall an easy class. I agree with a previous critic, in that he is well traveled and he shares his experiences. With never reading the text book, I aced all the 10 pt quizzes and map quizzes (there is one every, or every other) but I did C's on the tests. He is at times boring but if yo

I've read the other comments, an I didn't think he was that bad. The class was hard, but I don't blame him. It was a very boring subject matter. As for him helping me, he was always very nice to me and very helpful. I never, never saw him be mean to anyone.

I took him for a field geography class and I love him! He is my fav teacher at Sierra. I would def recommend taking one of the field trip classes they are soooo much fun and you meet the best people! Great teacher!

Booth doesn't suffer slackers very well. He makes minor errors now and again but don't we all? I'm happy I took his class and I'd be happy to have him again as a professor.

Don't listen to the nasty comments here, this teacher clearly wants his students to succeed. Before quizzes he will literally review the exact questions that will be on it. Almost no homework, and projects were reasonable. Tests and quizzes are easy too if you study the notes and read over the chapter in the book. Very easy A for me.

Sean Booth is really nerdy and passionate about geography, but it makes the class more interesting. He has lots of personal stories to add in. Its a good class for the physical science requirement. Tests have a lot of information on them so you have to really put in the effort for an A. Overall i like the class!

He was a great prof to have... he was funny and taught using a visual learning approach. Tests were easy as long as I studied for them. Attendance was only mandatory because Sierra College requires it. There was also a group project which wasn't my favorite, but was really easy.

He's a super cool guy. Quarky and funny; it was my favorite class of the semester. He makes the subject very interesting.

Prof. Booth is a really good geography teacher and class was never boring. I took cultural geography and thought it was great that Booth has real life experience with cultures of the world. You cannot miss class or you'll fall behind. He is very consistent in grading and classroom rules.

Great Class! Boring subject but Sean does a good job keeping class interested. Quizzes are very easy, there is a group project which is easy, and if you study for the tests then they are easy too. Great Teacher who is really passionate about geography.

I loved this class. It was interesting, easy going and the teacher is funny, nice and helpful. You must study for the many quizzes, but it is not hard to get an A.

Had him for Physical Geography. He is a good teacher, not that hard of a class, and if you pay attention you should do good. I don't get why people are complaining of him locking people out... I'm late practically every day and he doesn't care

You'll do well if you pay attention and study for the exams.

he's pretty fair but his notes don't help much (if at all) on the tests. not much homework.if you study you'll do well. i didn't study & ended up with a "C"

Great Teacher.

Starting the semester I could not stand the guy. I thought he was rude to his students. I then started going to his office hours and asking for help to pick my grade up. He offers extra credit opportunities. Study the notes he goes over in class prior to the quiz. He has the notes typed online. There is never homework. I ended up liking him a lot.

His class is super fun. He'll make corny jokes and keep the atmosphere light. Always attend class because during the lectures he tells you what information is going to be on the test and quizzes. He is a very good teacher and he offers extra credit and lots of freebie points.

I took this class in the fall of 2012. Cool guy, he keeps you entertained and has weird, but cool sense of humor. Textbook was a waste of money. Study the handouts he gives you, because the quizzes and tests will screw you over.

Love this teacher! Don't know what the other people are talking about. The subject is hard but he gives great analogies and demonstrations to get you to understand. He's hilarious whether he is on purpose or not. You can tell he thinks geography is fascinating. I like the subject but you have to pay attention. Definitely take him!

Booth is a great professor. I honestly don't understand why people think his class is that hard. Read the textbook/studyguide, take good notes, and follow what he says in the syllabus/notes and you should get an A. Plus, he plays great music! Seriously though, he's a good guy and wants to help his students. Just study and do your work to get an A.

Sean Booth is a great guy. The tests are based on his notes more than the chapters in the book. Not gonna lie, his tests are difficult but he is more than willing to help if you ask him during office hours. He is very passionate about geography and has little tolerance for students that don't take his class seriously. Show up. Be on time.

I loved having Professor Booth this semester for Cultural Geography. The test/quizzes are all based off his notes so pay attention and write everything down. He gets strict on attendance/tardiness and texting so don't be late or text in his class. Make sure to read the book to clear up questions because the material is right out of the book

he's pretty nice. lectures aren't too long or boring, just average. quizzes were easy. I mostly studied my notes, never really looked at the book; wasn't really needed. tests were a little tougher, but still fairly easy especially if you study. class went by pretty fast and he gave a break even though it was only an hour class

Booth's a great prof who is very dry but informative. He tells you exactly what you need to know for exams, and the tests and quizzes are very easy if you put in a little bit of time to review for them. Plus, he plays great music! Do the semester's extra credit assignment--it can boost your grade by nearly 10%. Also, he throws out your worst quiz.

Professor Booth has a huge passion for Earth and all of its cultures, having traveled all over the world. All of his lectures use photos that he has taken and he has a story behind every picture. His tests are hard though and he restricts the use of technology in his class. He may even assign punishments if he hears a ringtone go off.

Plenty of in class work for easy credit. Has you team up in groups quite often. Lectures are clear and tells you exactly what is going to be on the scantron test and quiz. Had to make a presentation with a partner on an assigned country. Doesn't like electronics unless you have your book on it, don't be late!

Great teacher who tries to help students do their best even with tougher tests.

Great teacher who let's you know what to study.

passionate on subject. Material covered well, keeps class lively with diverse delivery of lecture, video, and outdoor lessons. Worldly travels offer first hand knowledge. Easy to understand, truly wants students to succeed. No surprises. Don't expect easy credits, not difficult but must know material for tests. Be on time, mute phone.

I really enjoyed this class and Sean is an awesome teacher. Overall the class was pretty interesting and the professor did a great job making it more fun to listen to lectures. From the beginning he explains that this class does require effort like studying for tests, without studying good luck! I would defiantly recommend this class and professor!

Great teacher. Very nice and open to discussion. Need help, just ask. Easy going and fun. DO NOT use your cell phone or bathroom during class. He gives a break in the middle to do this. I would recommend for sure. There for students as long as they want to learn. You respect him and he respects you. Quiz weekly, TAKE NOTES. He lays it out for you.

Great class. Its not too difficult but it can be if you don't pay attention. i got a B in it ,but i could have easily got an A if i read all the material. The professors lectures are great and most of the material is on the test. Tests are easy to pass if you read the chapters in the book. Students only struggle because they don't pay attention.

I really liked this inspirational professor. I watched his YouTube videos (Sierra Explorer) and got a ton of information. These videos helped me do well in the class. Great teacher.

Sean is a fantastic teacher. I've taken 3 of his classes and would absolutely take again. He's very passionate about geography & makes the lectures interesting. Just pay attention in class and you'll pass. His videos and podcasts are very helpful and he puts a lot of effort into them because he genuinely wants his students to pass. GREAT teacher.

Great professor. Lectures are enjoyable, he relates it with personal experience, videos, and pictures. How to receive an A or B is quite clear. Go to class, engage in lectures and take notes. Do well on quiz's and tests and you should be fine. Makes youtube videos to further learn the chapters, which were extremely helpful.

AWESOME Professor! I avoided his class because of the negative reviews but when I finally took it, I LOVED it! Professor Booth is a GREAT teacher and really makes class interesting. He helps his students by telling them to mark certain terms for the test. The group project is cool. If you're a good student, it's NOT a hard A. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it!

Watch his YouTube videos (Sierra Explorer) for extra help. Take detailed notes in class; he writes them out for you. Quizzes weekly so study notes and your textbook. He likes his students that ask questions and interact with him. Group project in the middle of the semester - easy 50 points.

Sean IS our eye in the sky. He's a true Kiowa pilot who knows his stuff. Sierra Explorer is now my favorite YouTube channel, with inspiring mystical pan flute music playing in the background.

Booth is the single greatest geography professor to have ever graced this planet. His knowledge of GIS, fluvial zones, and Cessna aircraft is nonpareil. His tests are challenging but the music in his classroom makes his classroom a cultural cornucopia. He is CRYSTAL clear in explaining the major concepts and exhaustive with evidence. Recommended.

Super easy class and he tries to make it fun! All you have to do is pay attention and should probably read the syllabus before each class because he sometimes isn't clear enough about if we have a quiz next meeting or not. If you want an easy A, take this class.

Took a few weeks to get used to his teaching style, but I enjoyed the class. He enjoys what he teaches and is funny, but does not tolerate talking during class, phone use, arriving late, or leaving during lecture. The textbook was nice to have but not 100% necessary as all info for quiz/test is found in notes we take from powerpoint during lecture.

Interesting to learn from since he does bring in a ton of examples and has online YouTube videos that help to go with the test. Showing up for class and watching the videos will help. Super understanding if something comes up and you won't be in class. Also cellphones aren't allowed out during lecture, but can go on them during the 10 minute break.

I was shocked when I saw how many bad reviews Sean got, I never got the impression that he talked down to people. He is prone to telling anecdotes and is a bit dorky/ awkward but not a rude guy at all. He just lectures and shows videos during class but has a ton of resources to help out what you dont get. Only complaint: he doesnt use canvas.

Lots of tests and quizzes, but not huge ones and you can stay ahead but just attending and paying attention. A bit of reading but fun stuff, not stuffy. Great teacher, nerds out a lot and really cares about the class and the people in it. Study for the map quizzes, bring a LOT of small scantrons :P

I hate geography. I am not science geared whatsoever and I put in some effort and got an A. There is virtually zero homework, SEVERAL extra credit assignments, 3 pretty simple tests, and a quiz every week. If you dont take notes you wont do well in this class. Taking him again for geog2 because its required, but Id recommend him!

I took his online class so it was a bit more challenging. I did have the chance of meeting him in person when coming into class to take all three tests and he seems like a very nice/helpful person. This course is heavy with a lot of material to learn,textbook is needed. He made it manageable with videos. Tests are incredibly hard so be prepared

Mr. Booth has YouTube videos that are very helpful.

I had him last semester, and he was great. He talks about his travels and being a pilot. I am taking another geography class from him this semester (GEOG 2).

Professor Booth is well organized with his online geography class. He has lots of videos. I thought this class would be something else like learning places, but it's pretty interesting studying landforms, rivers and now were on the last chapter talking about deserts.

Professor Booth is an amazing teacher. He really wants his students to succeed and he is very passionate about this subject. His lectures are straight forward and go along nicely with the textbook. This class in general can be a bit challenging, but if you study and ask questions you will get a good grade. I highly recommend this professor.

I'm a international student but I made A! You can learn through YouTube lecture videos. Before exams watch the video carefully so that you can do well on them. Chapter quizzes and video quizzes each week, but all late assignments accepted (might've been Covid-19 Pandemic) and 2 attempts / video quizzes. Extra bonus at end, would take again.

I found this class to be very interesting. There was a lot of material that we went over, but his lectures were thorough and gave good information for test and quizzes. There were good videos to watch that were fun and informative.

This was my second class with Professor Booth, and it was just as great as the first. He's very passionate about geography in general and he opened our eyes to how great a state California truly is. He supplements traditional textbook reading with other books, films, and short videos which makes for an interesting and unique class.

I took this Geography class and loved it. It was a lot more interesting than I thought. Mr. Booth is a great teacher and I would take any of his classes again.

I just found out Professor Booth gives free extra credit to everyone for physical geography. This really helps your final grade. You can easily earn a lot of points from easy assignments too. I would recommend taking Geo 1 from this professor.

Professor Booth is great, I loved taking Geography 1. His video lectures are engaging, funny, and the information sticks with you! Go on YT and look up "Sierra Explorer" to watch some of his videos. His work load is extremely tolerable, he is very kind, and I learned so much from his course. Would choose him again any day.

Mr. Booth is a great professor! He has separate lecture videos that are very easy to understand, and help a lot. The amount of work that he gives is reasonable, the amount of time that he gives on the quizzes and things like that is more than enough. Very funny, and the class is enjoyable, learned a lot, probably more than in any other class!

His lecture videos are great and he gives everyone extra credit at the end -- which really helped my grade. He's easily accessible and answers all your questions. Booth is passionate about Geography. My only suggestion is to stay on top of the weekly assignments for each chapter. You will easily get a good grade. Take his class!

Sean Booth is one of those teachers who's actually a cool guy and is passionate about his subject. Tough grader but dont be a huge slacker and youll be fine.

Professor Booth is pretty fair, do your homework and get a good results. Tests and quizzes are not hard if you study the material. He also has a lot of cool mini lectures where he shows examples of things discussed in the book which makes it even easier to understand everything.

Professor Booth is a great teacher. This semester we had to do work in class, such as worksheets. There were lots of easy points for the short quizzes. His exams are pretty reasonable too because you get double-time and we took them online. He is well organized, he knows his stuff and I would definitely recommend taking his class.

Canvas does not accurately reflect your grade throughout the semester. He adjusts grades at the end. I had a B and it pushed me to a C. He gives 10 points at the end to everyone. Otherwise ZERO extra credit is given. He gives no grace on missed assignments. Follow schedule, never miss anything, do decent on the exams you'll get an A.

Professor Booth truly loves California Geography and he cares about the well-being and success of his students. Be sure to read assignment instructions and lectures thoroughly because A LOT of content is covered in this course! Professor Booth responds promptly to emails via Canvas. Would recommend if you're interested in Geography and History.

Great! Class was straight forward. His video lectures were so great. The class was fun and informative. Do your reading and you will do just fine.

Professor Booth seems like a very nice guy. The class was structured, although the due dates are all scattered and not set days which made it harder to keep up with during the week. I agree with others that the test questions were off from covered material, but overall an easy class if you stay on top of due dates.

Professor Booth really opened my eyes with Cultural Geography. I learned so many new things. While this was a smaller class, he kept us busy with small group exercises and fun stuff. I loved his lectures and his style. I would recommend you take this class in Geography.

Awesome professor. Professor Booth is casual but organized. He provides a lot of information but he is not a hard grader. Geography 1 - Physical Geography is an easy class, especially if you stay on top of it.

This was a pretty straightforward and easy class. Mainly uses video lectures, which are enjoyable to watch. Each week is laid out in the same format and easy to follow. Video quizzes and exams are doable, just take your time reading the questions. He loves a trick question. I would recommend this class if you need this as a science credit.

Professor Booth has a very organized online course, and associates every lesson with a chapter from our textbook. He records thorough video lectures. He's also a pilot, so some are recorded from his airplane which I find fascinating and above and beyond. I'm majoring in Geography and I'm hoping to get more courses taught by him in the future.

Professor Booth was great. Science isn't my strong suit, but he made the class very interesting and enjoyable. There are weekly quizzes, but as long as you participate in the lecture, they are pretty easy. There weren't too many assignments apart from these quizzes (only random worksheets and the exams). I would definitely take this class again.

His class was fun and fairly easy. The lectures were entertaining, as long as you pay attention and stay on top of the work you will be fine.

I would recommend taking Professor Booth as he's interesting, pretty funny in class, and really takes an interest in Cultural Geography. I would say the only thing to be aware is he has weekly quizzes, which are online. He has 3 exams based on several chapters, but you have access to your resources, like notes and your textbook.

Each week consists of multiple quizzes usually due on Tuesdays and Thursdays, each quiz is like five to ten questions and directly relates to the video lectures. Super easy, lectures are short, some like 4-5 minutes, which I personally appreciate. One short paper due at end of semester. Overall, super easy, informative class!

Professor Booth's class was engaging. The video lectures and weekly quizzes made the content digestible. While not an easy A, I'd recommend using unstuck ai alongside the textbook to ace this class.

I highly recommend Cultural Geography to anyone because Mr. Booth will help you do well in this class. He is super casual, low-key and into his subject. I found Cultural Geog. very interesting, and I'd take this class again if I could.

I took his online course and really enjoyed this professor, really the only complaint I have isn't even about him, but the geography packet he made us purchase. It was a little >$60 for a measly thin paper packet that I NEVER used. I am very broke and have to put my community college tuition on credit card. Never used it. DO NOT BUY THE PACKET.

His class is well-organized with a lot of easy work, like worksheets and videos. I think it's easy to get an A or a good grade in this class if you do the work. His exams were easy because all of the worksheets and stuff like that really helped me do well.

Professor Booth was a great professor! He was a caring professor. All the lectures and the exams helped me do well in the class! He provides a lot of information but he is not a hard grader. I would recommend this class!

Professor Booth is a great professor in Cultural Geography. I recommend him over other teachers because this class I'm taking is very interesting, and I am learning a lot about geography. We only have a chapter per week, which is easy for a short-term class. So far this class has been easy and I recommend taking it.
