Jessica L'Roe
GEOG
i loved this class! so much good info, and jess is so awesome. the material is so beneficial, the only thing that would be nice would be perhaps more open class discussions since the course was grounded in a lot of philosophy.
Having no experience with any programing or data analysis, this class was pretty accommodating. There was a learning curve to R the first couple weeks but once I got the hang of it, it got a lot more interesting. Pretty much all lab based, with one midterm and there were revisions allowed on labs. You definitely have to put in the work but L'Roe is a kind grader and helps out a lot. The lectures were a little long and sometimes it was easy to zone out.

This is basically the geography dept's stats class, I've already taken stats so the concepts were mostly review but then moved onto spatial data analysis and stuff that's relevant for basically anyone wanting to do field research. Jessica L'Roe is one of my favorite teachers here, she's so cool and easy to communicate with and does a really good job of explaining topics in different ways. We had a lab report due every 2 weeks, with a draft due the week before which I really appreciated to break up the work load.
