GEOG 370
Quality 4/5Difficulty 4/5
Had a good time in Bill's class. 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.
