Fall 2019 - If you have a pretty good foundation of statistics and can understand concepts, then this is the class for you. There are 10 assignments, one for each week, and no final project. Although I did learn new concepts, I feel like this class was too easy based on UCLA's reputation and rigidity, but I do not really regret taking it. A note to the professors: I suggest either focus on statistical concepts or coding. Do not aim for both because it becomes very messy. Despite the critisim, as a junior, I am still excited to take other GIS electives. Guys, trust me, the GIS industry is booming and UCLA has one of the best departments in the nation right now. So proud of the Geo Department.
