Robert is a kind and passionate guy, and you can tell from the way he teaches. He's flexible and genuinely seems to care more that we learn the material than pass a test about it (I appreciated no midterms or final). He takes the lesson feedback and applies it to his next classes. Inspiring, thoughtful lectures! I can't say enough good things.

Course is really nice and not too intense if you're economic major. Way of teaching nice and you can learn in your own pace. Would recommend the course. It's interesting and makes student engaged. very good real life examples and references to real life.

Robert is a very caring professor, but this class is hard! It's really rewarding and useful for ES careers in GIS, but it is a time commitment. The class is weekly labs, midterm and final group project. He's super nice and genuinely cares about his students - go to OH! He's approachable and happy to help, but you have to ask the questions

Taught very well by using fun examples, and the math was basic. Class time is used to do activities and small experiments, and outside class you had to watch the lectures online. The textbook is optional since the lectures cover the main material, but it's good additional help. There were no midterm/ finals, only weekly assignments that were easy.
