Reviews of professor Christopher Greene

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof Greene was amazing. The course is a lot of work but I learned so much. He really cares about his students. The labs were very easy to follow and there was always a TA to help

The class was very confusing for anyone without a high understanding of GIS already, and Greene comes off as very cocky and teaches as if everyone already knows what he's talking about. The tests were insanely hard and nothing like the review or practice tests he gave. Most people I know dreaded this class. I only survived because of the labs.

Chris really cares about his students education, and is always available for questions. He leaves his door open almost every time he's in his office. His tests and assignments are very fair if you attend the lectures, he explains everything very well and there are no surprises but you need to go to lecture!!

Chris effectively teaches many key GIS skills through hand-on lab work with easy-to-follow instructions. He also is incredibly transparent in terms of expectations and grading, and gives lots of guidance for test material for those who come to class. He is passionate about his work and makes it easy to succeed if you try your best. Best prof ever!

He is more interested in his Master's students.

The labs were great, however, the egotistical teaching style and hard tests kept me from taking the advanced course. Dr. Greene talks about how his students always do bad on his tests, but I guess he hasn't figured out that asking super specific questions from material only spoken in class is the issue.

Dr Greene has really excellent lectures. The course has a lot of theory and a lot of hands on learning. He takes the time to explains challenging concepts. He and his TAs are always available and willing to help. This is my third course with him. Great

Despite the TA strike, Dr. Greene has been giving a lot of his time and effort to make sure we can get SOME feedback and some help during the labs.

His course is a lot of work with a lot of complicated material. But Chris makes it fun and enjoyable. I learned a lot from him

Was very accommodating throughout COVID. Environmental Sci students I would recommend taking the Informatics class before the GIS class to provide you with a basic knowledge of GIS before taking 3500. I think he's a good guy, but he can come off as very condescending and intimidating, especially if your knowledge of GIS is limited. Tests were fine.
