Stephens Week 1

Hi, my name is Hektor and I’m a senior(ish…) double majoring in art and environmental studies. I took the quiz and scheduled my appointment, and did a tutorial linked in the Getting Started pages and the Basics one as well. I already have an account from 291. In the getting started parts, I wondered right off the bat if we have access to the ArcGIS Companion app because it would be cool to be able to work on this on the go… or on location! I also thought the indoor floor view sounded interesting, and less limited than what the desktop version could do with splitting up features. Anyways, the first tutorial I did was mapping obesity rates in Alabama, which was linked in those pages. It was pretty straightforward once I got the hang of it, and similar to desktop GIS, just differently arranged. I did finish the tutorial in Alabama, I just had this one screenshot but the finished product is (should be) shared with everyone.

And here’s my certificate from the Basics Tutorial.

Then I looked for a couple maps. This first one is a whole infographic about runoff.

The second one I’m linking because its an interactive map!
