I went into the class a little bit apprehensive but I warmed up to Professor Xue's style of teaching very quickly. He posts his lecture notes prior to class, and then when he does lecture it's extremely straightforward, straight off of the bullet points. I didn't bother to read the textbook or the lecture notes and still feel like I did extremely well, perhaps because I found Geog 172 Advanced Remote Sensing to be very interesting. It's a lot of statistics, which I like, and I also have an interest in graphic design, so I found the parallels between image manipulation and your average Photoshop usage to be really neat. Professor Xue is a little bit hard to understand at first, but once you get used to his accent you realize he's got a sense of humor. He has the funniest turns of phrase. "This image has a lot of noise, all these pepper and salts." Every time he said "filter" I felt like he wanted to say "gefilte fish." Anyway, take 172! It's very interesting even though the labs could take more time than you'd like.
