The class was ridiculously graded and the tests were awfully worded. Kuhn is not a good lecturer and cannot define his theory concepts very well when pressed for exact definitions. I will avoid any more classes with him.

This course is outlined as an introduction but Kuhn drives by theory, so it makes for a confusing and frustrating time as his student. The tests were ridiculously written, most of the questions being "trick" questions wrote on confusing grounds and a lack of understanding that we're intro students. Nice guy, respected in his field, cannot teach.

Lectures are useless. During midterm and final review basically answers nothing. Labs take ages and requires TAs help. Werner is near impossible to understand. Very strange question wording on test

His class is just confusing, and he's not good at explaining the materials. The mid-term and final are really hard.

Kuhn is not a good professor, and I'm not sure why the department still has him teaching this class. Labs are fairly difficult and there is not a lot of instruction/they aren't very clear. Lecture literally has nothing to do with lab, it's like they're two separate classes. He is super vague and his concepts don't really help with GIS comprehension

Kuhn is very theory-oriented which makes the class difficult. Labs are interesting but difficult & take outside class time (2-10 hrs) as well as lots of help from TAs due to odd question wording. Very short readings & mult choice/short answer tests. Kuhn specified that he wouldnt curve but he did for this term which made me very relieved.
