Reviews of professor Chris Grant

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Chris is a great professor. The labs aren't too long, yet not too short, and they teach you real problems you will encounter as a GIS practitioner. There are 2 midterms, one is a test, and the second is a comprehensive lab, both of which are quite simple. The final site suitability project is either a write-up (undergrad) or presentation (graduate)

Chris is a very good professor. He is also very accessible and more than willing to help students out. He will not give you answers, but will ask you questions to help guide you onto the right path. He gives plenty of time on labs and projects and I was able to reach out and talk to him before turning things into make sure everything was good.

Chris is an exceptional professor. He uses ppt presentations that are actually helpful but not just walls of text. The textbook for this course is actually helpful because it's a guide for learning ArcGIS. He is very approachable and helpful. There were two midterms, one in class closed book and one take home open book. Great professor!

I really enjoyed learning about GIS systems and sort of dabbling in them in his Maps and Geographic Info class this past year. Straight-forward labs and exams. All of the course content had subtitles so you could search through it to find certain areas. 

I really appreciated that he met with me on zoom to help with a lab. Overall, great class.

Chris was an alright professor, but his lecture videos were beyond boring and difficult to follow. The weekly quiz questions don't always have a definite answer from the lectures or readings which leaves you confused when you take the quiz. The online labs were difficult to understand at times, but that's part of the sacrifice of taking lab online.

I bet this class is better in person. Chris Grant was great for the practical part but the teaching assistant wasn't great for the labs. At one point she was 5 weeks behind in grading labs and you have to know how she wants the questions answered or you get them wrong. Grant is a good teacher and hopefully, he has a good teaching assistant.
