Main focus on using ArcGIS tools and methods Viewing Editing and creating GIS data Queries Geo-processing Geo-referencing Spatial Analysis Modeling Presenting maps (labeling, layouts)
Homework/Project/Quiz/Exams
Homework: Students will be required to do homework and lab assignments
Quiz: 4 – 6 in class Quiz (both surprise and informed)
Lab Quiz: 2 or 3 Lab Quiz during lab sessions
1 Midterm: In class exams (by mid semester)
Lab Exam
Final Exam: Comprehensive coverage of the course
Term Project
Student are required to chose a topic of their interest (group project: 2 to 3 students)
Work with Core Elements of GIS
Create Geographic Data
Analyze Data
Represent Data
At the end of the semester (last week of classes) the project report will be submitted by the students with delivering a formal presentation (15 mins presentation)
The final report will consist of a detailed description of all Core Elements of GIS of your project
Guidelines for Terms Project
How to start Frame a problem
A brief statement about what you want to accomplish?
Examples? List important factors to be considered in
light of your problem statement
Assignments
Include Home works GIS online course certification (3 courses)
Modes of Evaluation
Typically the assessment will be based on some or all of the following:
Quizzes Unannounced 10-15 min: ~ 15% Midterm Announced: ~ 30% Assignments : ~5% Projects (As per Instructor’s requirement ~10 %) Final Exam ( 3hr at the end of each Semester ~40%)
Absolute Grading System
Grade %age Interpretation Grade Points
From To A 85.00 100 Exceptional 4.00 A- 80.00 84.99 3.67 B+ 75.00 79.99 3.33 B 70.00 74.99 Good 3.00 B- 65.00 69.99 2.67 C+ 60.00 64.99 2.33 C 55.00 59.99 Mediocre 2.00 F 0.00 54.99 Fail 0.00 I Incomplete W Withdrawal
(79.99 ≠ 80 79.99 = ‘B+’ grade)
Application of GIS in Real world
Ask student for what background knowledge they have?
Do they have anything to share in this regard? Few applications/case studies will be discussed in
class You will be knowing more applications throughout
