Cartography was an insane workload for a lot of payoff. If you’re not very interested in the spatial analysis of GIS, this is the course for you, as it focuses more on the aesthetics of maps while still providing a comprehensive understanding of how to use QGIS and Adobe Illustrator.

I was really excited to take this course because I am new to geography and have an interest in geology. Unfortunately, I quickly realized how difficult this course was gonna be đŸ˜­đŸ˜­ none of our assignments felt like they were adding onto each other. Literally every class was something entirely different from the last and we were just expected to know what was being taught ( and it’s an 100 level course!!). I struggled sooo much when we had to write our papers because I felt that there wasn’t any actual content that we learned in class that could help me. This class had me constantly stressed. While Jeff is such a sweet and understanding person, this class was NOT taught well and I’m happy it’s over

Cartography is probably the most difficult but rewarding class I have taken at Middlebury. Jeff is such a gifted professor, and you learn so much with him. However, this class is really determined by how much you put into it. Making good maps requires a lot of time and thought, and if you don't have that in you, this class will not be enjoyable. So, if you can put in the time, you'll develop amazing illustrator and Q skills, but expect a lot of late nights. I definitely recommend the class, but be aware of what you are getting into with it.
