Geography 270 was a course taught me how to utilize GIS to perform geographical analysis. I was able to learn about the functions and applications of ArcGIS and use them to conduct assessments and analyses on certain areas of interest. I was also able to work individually and in a team for various projects in this course. The highlight of this course was successfully being able to say that I can use ArcGIS and it’s functions to create maps that can then provide information on an area. This course helped me to understand the story behind maps and how useful and powerful they really can be.
