I really enjoyed taking this course. Initially, I had no idea what the course was about or what GIS was, only that it was a requirement for my degree. At first I was intimidated by the software however I found out with time that it just takes patience and attention to detail to use it effectively. I believe that an understanding of GIS is very important and useful within the world of geography, whether it be in the arts or sciences. Admittedly, my favourite parts of the course were when I finished my maps and formatted them, taking time to really understand them and try to make them appealing and legible for almost anyone. Understanding how maps are produced and can be manipulated was very interesting. I would recommend GEOB270 to anyone who is interested in maps and/or geography.
