My fav geog professor in UCSB!

She really cares about her students. This is my second class with her and she is amazing. Very approachable. Clear grading instructions from the beginning. Dr. Dodge wants her students to succeed. The lectures sometimes have group activities which are graded. Would def take her again.

She is absolutely sweet which is a sort of pretense . She smiles at one‘s face but she is so dismissive when you piss her off with questions. She is a mean person and I will advise to completely stay away from her classes

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.
