WHAT WE WILL DO
IN OUR GEOGRAPHY 230 CLASS
|
THIS IS AN INTRODUCTORY CLASS - ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SUBJECTS AND THEIR RELATED SKILL LEVELS MUST BE INCLUDED WITHIN THE SCOPE OF EACH STUDENT’S INTITIAL EXPLORATION AND LEARNING IN GIS. INSTRUCTOR WILL CONTINUOUSLY EVALUATE AND SUPERVISE EACH INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED PROJECT IN WEEKLY CLASSROOM AND LAB SESSIONS, TO SEE THAT IT REFLECTS THE UNIQUE AND SPECIFIC PLANS OF
THE NEGOTIATED PROJECT, AND TO ASSURE THAT EACH OF THESE ELEMENTS ARE INCORPORATED INTO THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
