Course Description:
Geography 463 is designed to be an in-depth experience in the use of a GIS in a group-based, workshop setting, focusing on a topic of interest to be chosen by student groups. Students are encouraged to select a project from a collection of candidate projects, which connect students with GIS professionals in the Puget Sound region. Graduate students are encouraged to use the workshop as a place to develop MA or Doctoral research work. The course fosters an in-depth intellectual/social experience. Lecture topics introduce and address project management principles to be applied throughout the quarter. Lab sessions are structured so that work groups of 3-5 students implement a single project throughout the quarter. Students will make use of GIS concepts and software training as provided in previous GIS courses.
