Reviews of professor Chris Grant

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Difficult and incredibly time-consuming. Do not be late on anything unless you have a medical emergency, this is a no tolerance professor. Would not recommend unless you are lucky enough to only have to worry about school.

The class itself wasn't very difficult. Quizzes every week, with an extra "homework" lab every week or two. Three "midterm" tests throughout the class, a small assignment, and a small "final" paper. Nothing too difficult or reading intensive. We used Slack for communication, and he's not the best at explaining concepts when asked. Good enough imo.

I say B- because I have no idea!! middle of the term, and zero labs/homeowrk have been graded. Great instructor, but I wish I had an idea of how I'm doing in the class!

I have taken two of Chris' GIS techniques classes and he is a gem! He really cares about the students and he is super nice and supportive. A wealth of knowledge, and has a good sense of humor. Lab assignments can be hard and time consuming but it's a rewarding process. Easy grader as long as you put in effort, which you will want to do!

In lectures he is very clear and easy to understand. Did examples of all the complicated midterm questions so it was a lot easier. He is very responsive on Slack. I also took 380. Unfortunately for that class, the TA does all the grading, and not generously. Not technically his fault, but I wish the lectures were also by him for that class too.

Had no problems with the professor. Tests can be difficult.

IF you take an online course don't expect any help from this guy. He passes all questions and grading to his TA. His coursework is presented by someone other than him. What is he getting paid to do? nothing if you ask me.

Professor Grant is more hands off and leaves it to his TA. Communication is used by slack, very laidback class. He is extremely helpful when you need the help but don't expect any extensions. There isnt really any due dates and its a go at your own speed class. He gives plenty of time for the labs so its understandable about no extensions.

Chris is a great professor and really understands the content, so if you have questions you can bet you'll get a solid answer. Sometimes it's difficult to stay interested and engaged in lectures because its very menial info, the lab section is a lot of work- but Chris is always available for help. He's very reasonable with extensions as well.
