Two flavors of GISs• Vector GIS
– Objects represented by:
• points• lines• polygons• large database
each object
• Raster GIS– AREA represented
by:• Grid cells• one value per cell• Large number
thematic layers

Cropland stream
Looks like a map
Looks like a dog’s breakfast

The Course, briefly• Shared Resource – grad and undergrad• Slightly different requirements for each• Required Text, so to speak, is the ESRI on-
line course “learning ArcGIS desktop 9.2”• “Required” Text is David Theobald’s GIS
Concepts and ArcGIS methods• All this stuff is in the course syllabus
Demo

So what do we study?• Working with maps• Mod 1: Getting Started with ArcGIS
Desktop• Mod 2:Creating Map Symbology• Mod 8:Designing Maps with ArcGIS• Whoa! That was a big jump

So what do we study?• Mod 3: Referencing Data to Real
Locations (Theory and practice)• Mod 4: Organizing Geographic Data• Mod 5: Creating and Editing Data• Mod 6: Getting Started with GIS
Analysis• Mod 7: Working with
Geoprocessing and Modeling Tools

Then…• We do parts of the ESRI raster
course “Learning Spatial Analyst”• 557 folks do a final project – and
present it to the rest of the class.
*See Syllabus!

So How does it work?• Each week…
– you do assigned modules and turn in grade(s) earned via email
– Then you do a Class exercise that uses the techniques from the Modules but without any hand holding.
– And there are weekly quizzes

Course Attributes
• It is computer intensive and thus can be very frustrating!
It is fast pased and there is a lot to learn

• Just learn to walk
away from a problem, talk it over with someone else in the class or me or the TA and let your subconscious work it out!

The Notebook• In the past students kept a notebook
of what worked and what didn’t• This year there is a required text in
which you will keep detailed notes• And in which there will be reading
assignments (and quiz questions)• The text will be turned in twice
during the semester – and graded16
