Easy class, clear instructions and very easy to get an A but the professor never responds to emails and reuses old lectures and modules and doesn't even bother to change the dates on the assignments. She's nice tho.

I really liked the material and my TA was the best. The quizzes were specific but it wasn't too bad. Taking notes on the lectures was hard because they were mostly interviews, so I suggest making a transcript from the lecture. Otherwise, it was pretty straightforward and interesting. Grading was clear and labs were fun and not stressful.

it's an easy class but the quizzes are meaningless busy work, the questions expect you to know minute details from the lecture vids. also the prof often interrupts her guest speakers in the lectures, which is just a pet peeve

The quizzes are really detailed and meaningless. The lectures are conversations of the professor and guest speakers, so the quizzes are testing about the highlights in their career that are mentioned in the lecture videos. It doesn't make any sense to learn arcGIS.

I won't take this class by this professor . It is a completely useless one, cause it is better to take a professional esri class instead since the curriculum is from esri and no point of interaction with this professor. She just interviews people from the company and I find it lazy for a professor to do absolutely nothing than repeating materials

Great professor and a great class. The class consisted of a weekly lab where you would literally follow 1 for one tutorial and then take a quiz on that lab. Then, you would watch recorded podcasts and take a quiz on these podcasts. 3-4 of these quizzes and they were super easy if you watched the videos and took notes.
