Some RUCS computer hubs have Arcview but lab data is still a problem. GIS projects are usually carried out in teams rather than by single individuals. Due to this fact and the limited number of computers, students will work in teams of two. Labs are designed to be worked through twice. Each team member will be responsible to hand in their own attempt at the lab.
Some people pick up computer stuff faster than others.
A strong working ability with computers is a prerequisite to this course. Partners will be chosen after the midterm. The final project is a substantial GIS analysis of a New Jersey watershed or a New Jersey county or another pre-approved project topic. The project will consist of a written report and a series of maps suitable to be presented to a local government agency. Each member is responsible for three of those sections.
