I recommend this course if you're interested in EJ or climate justice! 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2024 Course: SDEVGU4650_001_2024_3-BuildingClimateJustice:Co-CreativeCo : SDEVGU4650_001_2024_3 - Building Climate Justice: Co-Creative Co Instructor: Paul Gallay
I learned a lot about using Arc GIS pro as well as Arc GIS and also learned about handling large datasets. I learned how to think quantitatively and use quantitative skills for analysis rather than language.
Everything that I learned was new– I had no exposure to GIS and I feel like I understand how to navigate the platform fairly well now and could learn further with this base knowledge without struggling with the basics.
Honeslty can't exactly say what I learned... But generally taught about GIS and GIS theory.
About vector/raster/types of data used, how to manipulate, how to display in the ARCGIS program, familiarity within the program
I learned how to use GIS and apply it to real world scenarios
I would say this is very much a crashcourse to GIS and how it can be used, obviously in sustainable development. Personally, it really opened my eyes to all the endless things the software can do and how helpful it can be in any sort of decision making
I learned GIS in another course and it was so much more clear. This course was often overwhelming and confusing. There are good parts though and its an important class to take, I wish it was just translated better.
Highly recommend to anyone who wants to gain experience in GIS and is a beginner!
This was a good introduction to GIS. The lectures provided background, and then you choose topics that interested you when doing the assignments. The labs reinforced concepts while using the software.
