Approximately one third of the class periods will be devoted to in-class assignments, designed to help you in your lab work and the Clear Run Environmental Assessment. The lab assignments are designed to build upon what you learn from the in-class assignments. I strongly encourage independent work, because learning how to use these spatial tools is a hands-on experience, and each lab builds on the previous assignments. While some of the labs, such as the GPS field work, are group labs, all write-ups must be done individually. You may, however, work together to solve software problems and discuss issues like data sources and map presentations.
All assignments are due at the beginning of lab on the due date.
Also, I take spelling and grammar into account when I grade labs, so make sure you use spell check and that you proof your papers before turning them in. Please note - ArcView is primarily a vector program, but has some raster capabilities. This is a VERY flexible schedule, however, since the computer lab is brand new and basically untested. Patience is a virtue and silence is golden Computes crash, sometimes just for spite. Finally, everyone works and learns at different speeds.
