Out of class assignments will also aid in the understanding of concepts. Students will learn critical steps in creating and maintaining a GIS database, as well perform spatial analysis with the data and generation of maps to present the data. Students will leave this class with enough knowledge to possibly incorporate GIS into one s Senior Thesis or Master s Thesis. Lessons will be assigned weekly with the due date one week from the assigned date. Each assignment will build on each other.
Assignments are to be done individually.
Each assignment s procedure is to be documented and handed in. All Graduate students are required to complete a GIS project with a local organization. Details will be discussed later in the semester with Graduate Students. This class is very lab-intensive . Concepts and their applications cannot be learned without time spent outside of class.
