In geob270, we were initially introduced to the theory behind GIS applications, and how to approach  working with spatial data. Building on this foundation, we have slowly been introduced to spatial analysis techniques and I have seen this progression of knowledge through the labs.

In lab 1, I developed critical thinking skills with respect to data integrity and ethical issues in cartography, through examination of biases and the speculation of sources of finished map products.

In lab 2, I learned the proper syntax to formulate effective query statements in ArcGIS.

In lab 3, I became familiar with spatial analysis techniques to solve spatial problems, and how to apply the appropriate analyses to appropriate problems.
