Jeff Howarth
I really liked this class and would absolutely take again. Jeff's exam problem sets were challenging but the policies were fair and I feel as though I learned a lot from this class. He's an awesome dude.
This is a great course, but certainly not an easy one, especially if you have no prior experience with coding, GIS, etc. Expect difficult and time consuming projects and exams (midterm and final problem sets). If you put in the effort you will do well, but if you don't, it will be very easy to get a lower grade.
Jeff Howarth is an incredible professor who deeply cares about the material he chooses to teach. Every year, Jeff updates the course materials and creates new practice problems. Personally, I loved this class, it was like solving a fun puzzle every week. If you pay attention in lectures and have coding experience this class should be pretty manageable. Super fun, super valuable!
