FRST 182 - GIS (Forestry Applications)
This course provides an introduction to geographic information systems (GIS) within the context of natural resources. The emphasis will be on spatial data issues, analytical operations and how to utilize GIS to aid in better decision-making. In this course we will utilize a two-pronged approach to attain the learning outcomes:
 | labs will be hands-on with the goals of gaining a basic skill set in utilizing GIS software (ArcGIS) and applying an analytical approach to solve problems |
| lectures will provide the fundamental geographic concepts upon which GIS is based. |

The 'conceptual portions' of the Virtual
Campus modules are worth reading as they do provide a strong link
between the material covered in lecture and the use of ArcGIS. The
material presented on these pages is also covered in the online exams for
each module (for those aiming at a 'blue ribbon'). |
|
Not all of the hands-on exercises are formally assigned. However, those who work through all the material (concepts & exercises), do the exams and attain a blue ribbon will receive a 1% bonus. Those of you who have, in the past, found themselves 'close to the next letter grade' will appreciate the value of this bonus. |
