The course is not that bad in terms of difficulty. There are times when it can get stressful though, but once those are overcome the class becomes relatively easy. There are two projects for the summer term, and those are the hardest parts of the class. The quizzes are open-module and are fairly easy if you understand the concepts in the lecture slides. There is a midterm however that is closed-book, so be prepared for that. The labs in this class can be challenging as they require you to use ArcMap, but once you get the hang of how to use it and just follow the directions they give, it will be pretty easy. Ultimately, as long as you can get the hang of the things you have to do for this class and understand the content to a good degree, it should be easy.
