Good teaching and with sense of humor. No exam. This course needs a presentation about your final project. Useful course. Be sure to show up every class.

Comment:

Be sure to show up for class. Makes all power points and notes available for download but without context you will have a tough time on exams. Very knowledgeable about the subject material. Dry sense of humor. You will likely get out of lecture early.

Comment:

You need to go to class or you'll be lost on exams. She's okay but her exams are tricky and you need to give a final presentation (10-12 minutes.) Usually get out of lectures early. If you are interested in GIS at all you should take her class, but be ready to work.
