It was a very good opportunity to learn GIS. Now, I have an idea about the power of GIS and it was totally fun to complete course quizzes and assignments. I strongly recommend the course!

I gave this class 3 stars and even though I wanted to give it 0. The reason I gave it 3 stars was because the instructor and the material was very good. Even though it was review for me I felt like the lessons were very informative and were a good refresher. Now the reason I wanted to give it 0 stars is because of the peer grading on the final project. This is garbage. The final assignment which says wether you pass the class or not is graded by others taking the class most of who don’t understand the assignment themselves. There is also a language barrier for most of the graders so you get no useful feedback. My first submission missed out on passing by 1 point and there was no intelligent reason why. The reason i got back was actually incorrect so I resubmitted the exact same project and passed easily.Hoping this gets better with more difficult courses.
