Joseph Holler
Joseph Holler was amazing. Incredibly knowledgeable, even built some of the GIS tools we were using. I loved the focus on environmental justice and the class just felt very applicable and pertinent. Highly reccomend
I took this class for the ES requirement but got a lot more out of it than I expected. Professor Holler has clear passion for the subject, which makes the lectures really interesting. The skillset is also really helpful.
A notoriously tough class and for good reason. This class was a challenge, but one of the most valuable I have taken at Midd. Holler's expertise in GIS clearly runs deep and he is a wealth of information. Use this to ask questions if you are unsure on a topic. Class consists of weekly question sets based on video lectures you watch outside of class (time consuming), two mandatory "Visual Essays" and one mandatory "workflow". You can do an optional visual essay and two optional workflows depending on your standing in the class. Like others have mentioned, this class is front-loaded. Expect a lot of work outside for the classroom when you have to work on a project. The video lectures are absolutely necessary if you want to stay with the class and do well on question sets. Again, one of the most valuable classes I have taken at Midd. Expect to put in work for your A.
