Winter 2026 - This is the 2nd time I took a class with Dr.Kurtz, she was super flexible and understanding. The class itself was also pretty practical. Yes there is group project and it can be daunting if you have trouble working with your teammates. But I really love her teaching style. You get to learn some very cool things about ArcGIS!
