My class on the Google Earth Engine API is about to end. It has been a very interesting class from a professor who is giving it online for the first time. She has actually done a stellar job. There are two difficulties in this class: How do you give a good online experience (via Zoom–hate it, there are much better tools) and how do you teach a class to a group of student who fall into two very distinct groups–those who are programmers, but know little about earth sciences and those who are very knowledgeable about earth sciences, but know little about programming. I have to admit that I have gotten a LOT more than I expected out of the class and, if I can work it in and have time, I am going try to work it into my dissertation. The professor really did strike a good balance between getting the programming across and getting the earth science across without making either of those parties either crazy or bored. Loved it.
