Project – Each student will develop a project using GIS for a real-world issue. The project will include problem definition, gathering data, analysis of the data, and maps or other output. In addition, there will be a written analysis describing the process, challenges and outcome. The written analysis is due as specified in the syllabus for your section. This will be discussed at the first class meeting. The instructors will provide assistance to the extent time allows. GIS is a cooperative field, so students are encouraged to help each other and learn from each other. Bring a brief written outline to the third class meeting.
Reflections Paper – at least four pages describing the use of GIS technology in your field. This is due as the final examination. Please include your feedback on what was useful or not useful to you in the course. Be polite and be honest! Specific suggestions are most helpful. Your grade will not be impacted by critical comments (famous last words, but true).
