Comment:
Interesting class. There were presentations everyday by students or guest speakers, and he encouraged class participation. Brightened the scope of Spatial Thinking. The lab is where the majority of the grade came from. Interesting lab work, and can take anywhere from 1-5 hours to complete, if you're picky about your work. The TA grades the labs.

Comment:
Nicest, most caring professor I have EVER had. His main concern is to make sure you understand & know the material, which is refreshing, but the class can be confusing. Group project for the final, one midterm, one in class presentation (super easy, less than 5 minutes). Labs are super awesome as well, actually interesting and not too hard.

I learnt a lot of new yet useful things from this seminar on spatial modeling. Like the difference between model verification and validation; the wickedness of social problems; soft modeling! He is a great scholar, humble, knowledgeable, and kind! Really enjoyed the class.
