Title: Module 3 – Mapping Where Things are and Mapping the Most and Least
Course: MASTER-GIST-1120-Patton

The basic maps show where things are without complicated analysis. Visual analysis displays the data with good cartographic principles and the viewer will determine if any geographic patterns might exist. Deciding what aspects of the map features to highlight can take some thought.

Students will experiment with different techniques to display data for visual analysis.  Mapping quantities as discrete features, as continuous phenomena, and as data summarized by area, will be explored. (All assignments are due by Sunday, April 23, 2017 by 11:55 p.m.)
