Student evaluation is based on performance on examinations and computer laboratory assignments. Advanced Geographic Information Systems begins with a review of GIS concepts and capabili ties. The course then moves to a consideration of the inner workings of GIS by exploring a sample of raster and vector mode cartographic data structures, and by examining the workings of computational algorithms used in GIS analysis. Finally, the course treats more advanced analysis techniques. Students learn the workings of GIS through lectures, demonstrations, and computer laboratory sessions.
