Reviews of professor Kristian Larsen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Terrible at explaining concepts and assignment questions are confusing. I had to google and go in depth to understand some of the concepts on my own for assignments because he couldn't explain them well enough in lecture. His audio lectures are poor and his voice fluctuates throughout the recordings so you often can't hear much.

Had him in the summer (asynchronous), his videos were great, and the grading was fair.

Like others mentioned, the first couple of assignments are relatively easy and have good guidance. Lectures are full of fluff that isn't reflected in assignments. The instructions for the assignments are purposely vague in the latter half of the course and you're basically set up for failure. Avoid the course if you can, its a bait and switch.

I had a really bad experience taking this course and will probably never take another GIS course again. Everything was quite disorganized, lectures all over the place. I heard the other intro GIS course was better, should've taken that.
