Lectures are long and dense, not particularly relevant to the class but not bad. Grading is pretty tough in this class, but it's not designed to be impossible. Bill and his TAs were helpful, accessible outside of class AND office hours, and committed to cartographic greatness. Fun time, class is kinda tedious.

However his standards for the intro class are extremely high. Unless you are willing to drop everything else in you life and focus on 370 you probably won't get an A. This course is hard especially because they dont explain how to use the programs to their fullest ability.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1886161","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:45:56.387191+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTIyOTQxNzYy","source_instructor_id":"rmp:1886161","instructor_name":"Daniel Huffman","course_label":"GEOG370","course_id":"GEOG 370","course_uid":"course_4acea7da7ba501a17437b0f2","review_date":"2014-03-24 18:43:09 +0000 UTC","comment":"Nice guy & all but.. Worst grader ever. WAY too harsh on his students when grading. If you're an A student, I wouldn't expect an A. If you do exactly what you are supposed to do, you get a B. All A's are \"above & beyond\".. Except you don't know what he expects from you. Quizzes are every week & he is the harshest grader I've ever had..

He uses current examples in his lectures which makes them extremely engaging. The class is more project based so get ready for weeks with a heavy work load and then weeks with not as much.

The lectures are posted online, but make more sense if you go to class. Get a head start of the labs and go to his or your TA's office hours! He gives 8 quizzes throughout the semester.

Do not listen to other reviews. If you care about your grade and put in the effort you will get a B minimum. The lectures are super relevant to present day.
