Each student will be required to apply computer tools to an issue requiring spatial analysis, some of it outside of class hours. This course is designed for a broad range of students, but each student should have some exposure to the procedures used to make maps and some introduction to the use of spatial information. Geography students should have Geog. This course provides an integrated sequence, where the lectures, the readings, and the practical component are tightly connected. It is quite important to keep up with all the elements.
Due dates mean the start of class or section meeting.
The fourth component is a Learning Assessment, involving a Portfolio or an Exam. The detailed schedule of all assignments is found in the Labs page referenced everywhere in this site. See also the Lab Policy statement and TA information . The practical exercises provide a way to acquire skills in using ArcView 3.1 and to apply the course concepts to real data. Exercises are due at the start of the lab session next week.
