Spring 2023 - Technically I took GEOG 415, which is similar to the one listed here. I didn't have what should have been a predecessor under my belt, GEOG 411 Spatial Imaging, so a chunk of the content was hard for me to understand. I think this is the only course that uses Google Earth Engine, which I loved. It's a lot of coding, so brush up on your coding and also on understanding new syntax - that was the key part of GEE, knowing how to find and understand the weird syntax in this program. The content itself was interesting, the workload was harder than I anticipated, but what was most helpful was attending office hours and asking for help! Bo was a very responsive professor and helpful with my questions at all hours of the day. Having discussions with him on the content was incredibly helpful in understanding what we were doing each week. He also offers plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Cool but hard class overall, looking forward to exploring GEE further in the future.
