Very instructive course

I really liked this course - it's an introductory course but you get a real feel for the steps required to work through the whole process of GIS and by the end are able to navigate the software comfortably.

The fact you can get a license for ArcGIS is really great and means you are doing not just observing. ArcGIS is quite a computationally heavy package (for my laptop anyway) but you can usually follow the video lectures with it open and follow the commands which helps the learning experience.

The workload is just the right amount for an online course - not too much to do but enough to keep you busy.

I will be continuing on the specialisation.

Good course

Awesome

Awesome course, good explanations. Spatial join does the magic! Great, loved it, kept me motivated.

I'm only done with week 1 of this course 'Fundamentals of GIS' and I divided the work load into two evenings. I'm a full time master student, but this way of learning is really great in combination with full-time work, study etc.

Even tho it's rather late right now and I'm tired, I'm really considering to take a few more modules. The structure and the content is so exciting and really drags me into the world of GIS.

The lecturer Nick Santos is really good, the pace is perfect and you are always able to go back to previous videos, documents or search the internet, ask your fellow students or the professor if something is bothering you or if you are just curious.

I HIGHLY recommend this course and the specialisation aswell.

i learned so many thing in this course.

Thanks to Nick and to everyone who made this possible.

excellent course i have learned too many things

I

it is good

I really enyoed this course, Nick Santos is a great professor, the work was challenging and yet relatively easy to learn, given that the

wonderfully designed course.

Excellent Piece of knowledge.

The lectures were very easy to follow and easy to understand even for ArcGIS beginners like me. Kudos!

Nick Santos is the greatest instructor! I came from not ever having opened ArcGIS to making simple maps in the second week.

Very practical and helpful. And if you want to dig deeper there are a lot of extra resources to look into.

Fantastic course! Require a lot more effort to complete the course than what Coursera estimates, but extremely rewarding in the end!

An amazing course an excelent material and an excelent teacher. I would like in my country the education was as Coursera.

I like how the basics of GIS are taught in this course. They are easy to follow and understand. The practice assignments are very helpful to me since I easily learn and remember something when I do it myself. The assignments allows me to practice on my own and I have something to compare my work with so i'll know where to improve.

good

Very smooth and fluid introduction to the basics of the GIS field and ArcGIS software. Feel like I developed good working knowledge in a very short time. Excited to go into more depth in future courses!

Nick does a great job at using lab examples, providing data that makes it easy to follow along. Looking forward to the rest of this specialization.

Excellent course. Learned a lot of things about fundamentals of GIS. Thanks to Nick Santos, UC Davis and Coursera Community.

Great course for those who are starting to learn GIS.

Excellent experience and it was the best idea I took this course.
