You must attend every class because all work is done in class + one in-class exam (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and calculations (calculators allowed)), and one final group project for which you are given in-class time to work on.

Overall, GIS is somewhat intuitive for me, but I know that it wasn't for some of my classmates.

The professor doesn't go out of his way to help you at all, so any work you put in is exactly what you will get out of this course. He is hard to reach on email and leaves class as soon as it's over so make sure to get his attention in class if you have questions.

Show up to classes even though they are long, it's much harder to try and catch up than attending (You can do this!).
