Say one thing good and one thing bad (ok, constructive criticism) about Geog 112.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Geog 112 is a work in progress. Or maybe it’s fine as is.<\/p>\n

I’d like to preserve the time-series data project, but ArcOnline does not handle such data very well. Thus it’s tough to make the project carry throughout the semester from Desktop to Online.<\/p>\n

Learning goals for this course:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Technological competence:<\/strong> you are functional with a diversity of technologies, software, moving data from one form to another, and learning how to solve problems.<\/li>\n
  2. Methodological competence:<\/strong>\u00a0Given an understanding of the technologies, you understand the process for addressing questions and generating understanding in ES and Geography<\/li>\n
  3. Mapping competence:<\/strong> Understand and be able to use guidelines for creating effective maps and using GIS to effectively communicate and understand.<\/li>\n
  4. Critical competence:<\/strong> Understand mapping (and all geospatial technologies) as powerful and complex (eg., propositions rather than representations), and open to a range of insights from perspectives such as feminism and indigenous theory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    A few areas of interest upon pondering the class:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. I’m not a control freak<\/strong> about attendance and formal classroom decorum. Is that a problem or a benefit?<\/li>\n
    2. Too little work in course?<\/strong> It feels like it was easy to keep up without too much hassle and there could be room for more stuff on\n
        \n
      1. HTML\/Web scripting programs (cooler looking web stuff)<\/li>\n
      2. More mapping types (beyond the choropleth)<\/li>\n
      3. ArcGIS Online and it’s ability to create map apps<\/li>\n
      4. Field data collection including sensory\/mental mapping exercise<\/li>\n
      5. ?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      6. Balancing less stress with enough learning:<\/strong> The instructor is not fond of stress and over-the-top coursework, but understands that some very stressful courses also result in significant learning, and some low-stress courses are blow-offs. How to achieve a balance?<\/li>\n
      7. Deep Map Thoughts:<\/strong> Useful? Interesting? Integrated? Contrast with rest of course?.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
