Prof. Dodge is so sweet! Labs are a big part of this class but that's where you're actually learning how to use GIS software so I think it makes total sense. Really really recommend Prof. Dodge!

The labs, which make up most of your grade, are tedious and time-consuming. The instructions are unclear and you are expected to understand ArcGIS information without prior knowledge. Lecture attendance is also required, yet section attendance is optional even though the section assists with labs and ArcGIS material.

This was probably the most tedious class I have ever taken at UCSB. Super easy to get a good grade but there is a graded activity pretty much every class and the whole thing is somehow super boring and easy yet confusing at the same time. She usually makes no sense and is super nice but I lowkey hated my life every class.

Very understanding professor and provides great lecture material. Dodge creates a fun and interactive learning environment. Would love to take another class taught by her.
