If you get a chance to take a class with the Prof, do it. You won't regret it

He is not only an amazing teacher but also a good human being. I would love to be in his class for 10 more times. The focus is on learning and not on grades and he is very accommodating and helpful. I really miss him.

I took the class fully online. He set up a groupme for the class, but mostly ignored questions asked in there. A handful of the assignments on canvas were based on outdated or non-existent guides. I also couldn't figue out whether there were supposed to be lectures. I feel like he would be better offline.

This is a work heavy class for the summer but worth it. You gain great skills and you can definitely use them professionally. Great teacher!

This was the most terribly organized class I have ever taken at UF. The professor adds pretty much every single lecture he has ever recorded to each module, making it difficult to understand what I am actually supposed to be looking at. The instructions/videos for lab assignments are INCREDIBLY outdated, with many videos being up to 15 years old.

Not helpful, doesn't respond to students via email or Group Me. Easy A but you don't learn anything useful.

Anwar's assignments are often impossible, due to him forgetting to explain assignments, software crashes, or him deleting data so that we can't complete assignments. He rarely responds to messages and emails, and when he does the message is short and usually does not help at ALL. And he FORGOT to show up to office hours. Not good.

professor completes all the assignments except your chosen final project step by step in the lecture videos. If you're not a geography major there is zero need to actually learn anything. Aside from deciding on a final project topic, this was legitimately one of the easiest classes i've taken at uf. take it if you need a gpa boost.

Best class and professor I've ever had! Very computer program heavy, but even with no prior experience, everything is well-described and accessible. You can tell he cares about what he's teaching and the overall goal is that you learn. I actually felt like I was learning in this class and what I learned stuck with me. GREAT experience!

Dr. Anwar is a great professor. Always ready to help, has tons of office hours and a lot of materials to help you successed. The class is a lot of work. So you have to be ready to work. Also, GIS is very buggy, so be ready to learn how to troubleshoot. If you are not a techy person you will struggle, but in the end you will know how to use GIS.
