The best aspect of this course was the variety of topics discussed every week. However, many students were frustrated that often the lecturers’ topics overlapped, so it was hard to know what information was relevant. Also, students felt the open book quizzes were not a good reflection of class participation. The course would improve if the course itself was more organized and the lecture topics were cohesive and wel -coordinated. Prospective students should know that it’s an interesting course with relatively light work.

The highest praise was given to the wide range of techniques covered, the practical nature of the material, and the professor’s ability to make a potentially dry subject engaging. Frustrating software and occasionally dry PowerPoint presentations were the worst aspects of the course. More guidance for the final project and more class time for working with the software were both common suggestions for improving the course. Prospective students should know this was a great class overall and gave practical application of remote sensing.
