Approximately one third of the class periods will be devoted to in-class assignments, designed to help you in your lab work and independent projects. 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 a GIS is a hands-on experience, and each lab builds on the previous assignments. 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 the following week.
HALF credit will be given for homework turned in a week late, and NO credit will be given after that. Computes crash, sometimes just for spite. I can often help in these situations, but it is ultimately your responsibility to ensure you turn your work in on time. Tentative Timeline Weeks 1-4 are devoted to learning ArcInfo and understanding how ArcInfo and ArcView interact. This is also a review period to help strengthen the links between basic concepts and theory.
