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 class was 100% one of the most useful classes I've taken at Middlebury. I am confident in my knowledge of QGIS and Adobe Illustrator, and I made some pretty cool maps along the way. Jeff's lectures are always interesting and he give very useful feedback (even if it is sometimes harsh). So happy I took this class, be prepared for a lot of work though... Especially if you want to make a map you feel proud of.
