Lecture 1 - Orientation
Welcome again. Here is some words to be successful in this class. The lectures, as mentioned earlier, are posted here - but you might want to print them out. Perhaps I am old fashion, but it's easier to read them. In the future you can access this website for reference - given it is public. The two quizzes are timed, so be aware of that limitation.
The main project is Assignment 4 - a GIS Presentation. It's like a PowerPoint Presentation of a case study you research, trying to solve a geospatial problem. You might even want to look at that assignment at the beginning of this class to get an idea of your work load.
- Get in a routine of visiting Canvas daily. I'll post an announcement daily too. Again, get in a routine of reading and research early in the week -- as this class last only 3 weeks!
- Find, research and write your case studies in your own words. Hey, these case studies are only 1 paragraph long with the exception of the GIS presentation (Assn. 4) that will take some time.
- While pretty much everything is posted on the Discussions...
- the first assignment - GIS Terms - you will simply email those terms to me.
- Please format your answers as a PDF attachment with your name on it, if you can. Otherwise put in the email.

- Communicate with each other via the Discussions, also referred to as the Discussion Board (DB). The DB is central to this class.
- Don’t be afraid to check the DB if you are in need of help. The DB has Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), which I try to check as often as possible. Maybe email me your question so I can help you and the class.
