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.

Love Professor Nelson! She has engaging lectures and simply wants to spread the joy of geography (and biking)! There were three quizzes--all about recorded lecture material--weekly labs, and a map blog post final. The labs are very in-depth and not too hard so do not worry if computer stuff seems hard. Prof Nelson makes the class fun :)

Easy class to take for just units or GE. It's an online course with weekly lecture videos (3 quizzes throughout the quarter based on them) and a weekly mandatory lab. The labs weren't hard to do and they were actually very interesting and fun sometimes to do. The final was a map blog post where you use ArcGIS to make a storymap. Would recommend!

Easy GE. Online course, in-person labs. Lab attendance was not mandatory: go if you need to make use of ArcGIS Pro or download it on your own. Labs were just following online ArcGIS tutorials to build various apps, websites, etc and you could leave right after finishing. Open note and book for lab assessments and quizzes. Final was a map blog post.
