This class was not as easy as I expected; there was a tough learning curve. It felt as if only the first two assignments were meant for people trying to learn the software for the first time... however, I did enjoy the class. Prof Bo and TA Chen are very supportive, and I often found myself in their office hours. Expect to put more than 8 hours of weekly work into the class (especially if you are unfamiliar with GEE). I would recommend the class though. GEE is very useful and practical, more so than ENVI oftentimes. Professor Bo is very passionate about remote sensing and helping his students because he understands the class may be difficult.
This class, while challenging and fast-paced, was definitely worth the effort. You're exposed to Google Earth Engine (which to my knowledge is not discussed in other Geography courses) and you build up your coding & remote sensing knowledge each week through assignments & discussion posts. The weekly projects took me a lot of time, but starting early & working consistently throughout the week will make it a lot more manageable. Both Dr. Zhou & the TA (Chen) were readily available during class & office hours to help troubleshoot and give tips on the assignment.
I came into this class with practically no coding experience and I was able to do well, so don't let that discourage you. A willingness to learn and an interest in the subject is really all you need. Plus, Google Earth Engine is actually very cool-- throughout the course I found myself thinking more & more about the different potential applications, and its a pretty endless list. Having Dr. Zhou as a professor is great too-- he is extremely enthusiastic about the subject.
