Through different lab scenarios, I quickly understood the extent of GISystems and the influential role I partake in assessments.   Furthermore, the team project deepened my understanding of GIS and the importance of a healthy team dynamics. Every single detail makes the difference when dealing with massive amounts of data.

Foremost, my self-confidence increased because I improved on my communication skills and learned a rather visual method of communications. Fellow members each offered different expertise, and with them I realized how significant data visualization is to me.  I feel as if words never serve my thoughts justice, but by following cartographic conventions and ethics I can express my ideas alternatively through maps and images.
