Comment:
Despite the fact that Dr. Qiu was gone a majority of the semester due to illness, my classmates and I felt quite lost and forgot a majority of the materials. Our substitute teachers taught much better and were more engaging and interactive with students. Hard grader and test heavy. Dr. Qiu will retire so expect a different professor to teach GIS!

Class is purely notes. There is very few assignments but the guidelines are easy. Book is provided and at the end of each chapter, there are practice questions. those questions are used in the tests. as long as you memorize those questions, you will have a solid grade in that class. he takes roll.

Comment:
A few of the things you learn are basic knowledge and then there are things you need to be in class to understand. He posts the powerpoints so you can get them on Moodle. Tests(2) were the hardest tests I've ever taken. I believe the average on the first test was 64% (give or take), the online assignments(4) were extremely easy. Book is provided-$0

Professor Qiu teaches a tough class and explains the best he can during class discussions or office hours. The assignments of the class are of the technologies you learn during the class and expands the course material. The midterm and final are tough tests that are from the powerpoints and assignments. Attend every day to truly grasp the class.

Professor Qiu is very helpful in clarifying the subject. Be on top of the 5 assignments to do well in class. It is 30% of grade. Midterm and finals are curved so that helps out bring your grade up. Overall, he is very caring and wants students to succeed so don't hesitate to ask questions.

Comment:
Lecture slides are so long so when it comes to the exams people just cram as much information into their heads without really learning the material. He says that his tests are not culmative but asks several questions from previous chapters. SO confusing bc we dont know what to really study. assignments are easy but tests are pretty difficult

great professor. didn't really go to class and received a "C" although when i did go to class i was really interested. must be knowledgeable in gis before you enter this class or have somewhat of computer skills. other than, class was fun (when i did go - 6 time in 10 weeks)

His assignments are long and time consuming, but he gives you plenty of time to complete them. Most of the midterm and final questions are taken directly from his power points. The rest come from the assignments. No book was required for this class. Great professor!

The class is not easy but you will learn a lot. He is not very patient this quarter and I have not idea why. It is hard to catch up with him most of the time and you relly need to work hard with other classmates

Dr. Qui has skills. Took remote sensing and cartography with him in same quarter. Very detailed but in a good way. Need to have some existing skills to excel in his classes or work hard to catch up. This breaks down science and analysis and tries to pass that on to his students.

Excellent instructor, very accessible whether by e-mail or in person, and is always willing to help. Only complaint is his tendency to run seminars a bit overtime. Assignments are very challenging and fun. Probably one of the best professors I've run into as far as both learning the material and actually applying it.

I learned so much from him. He really knows what he is doing but you won't realize it until you have a job working with GIS. He is the biggest asset to this dept. Helpful, will sit with you until the problem is solved. Dedicated.

great teacher but his lectures are not always clear (sometimes boring) so it makes his exams really hard. He's super helpful and will help you on assignments.
