Comment:
Scott is a great prof with lots of experience in his field, and this class crammed a lot of info in without feeling overwhelming. He is prone to tangents, but I found them to be hugely valuable as a source of real-life experience, and he is so hilarious. Listen and study adn you'll get an A no problem!

Great professor! Cares about his students success. Always accessible outside of class. Go to lecture. Especially lectures when you are reviewing for exams. He will give you answers to some of the questions on the exam. One project to do, it is super easy. Very easy to get a B or above if you just show up to all classes.

This was an easy class and long as you wither went to lectures or read the slides he posts online. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he does give test answers throughout lectures when attendance for that day is low. You write 1 two page paper. Tests arent difficult, he has great reviews for tests

He's decent and can be funny but the class is all over the place and his tests were tough. It's hard to take him seriously

Dr. Bassett made this course extremely enjoyable, practical, and useful. All lecture slides were posted online, but I still had a reason to want to come to lecture. Dr. Bassett is an incredible teacher and knows material well. Always willing to help and cares about students. Am looking forward to taking more courses with Dr. Bassett.

Scott Bassett is a great professor. His lectures are helpful and funny, even though he goes off on many tangents. Labs can be time consuming but the grading isn't too harsh. I would love to take a class with him again.

Comment:
Bassett is notably experienced & passionate about GIS but pretty lax in class. He doesn't take attendance but I've gotten extra credit from my attendance. Although I feel he teaches the class well, the lab is what really taught me how the material works. Tests are not easy; studying is a necessity! He also has a personality in lecture! Great course

Comment:
Despite his love of graphic tees, corny jokes, and long tangents, Dr. Bassett does know his stuff. He really likes to engage with students. Anything that you needed to know for exams was on the PowerPoints. They were easy if you read the slides despite the fact that they primarily required written responses. Interesting course and fun professor
