I got an A in GEOG 111 and I only showed up to class the first 3 weeks. This class is super easy. Labs are worth 25%, midterm is worth 25%, final is worth 50%. The labs aren't hard at all. It's just 4-5 basic questions, but it depends on your TA and how helpful they are. Exams are based on things in Faran's slides. I just studied by going over all the bolded words in the textbook and that was sufficient. The midterm is all multiple choice and true/false. The final was largely multiple choice with a simple short answers section.
Although Faran's teaching style isn't the most exciting, he has a lot of knowledge and experience in the subject. He's also extremely nice and helpful so go to office hours if you don't understand something. I found the material in this class to be pretty interesting too so I would definitely recommend this class.
