Introduction of the Class
Self introduction of the instructor and students Students interests, background, familiarity with the
subject What are the goals of students after getting MS
degree? How students think that this course will help in
achieving their goals?
Class Environment I expect an interactive class session –
two way flow of knowledge Questions from class are very much encouraged Stop me wherever the concept is not clear If it’s not affecting the pace of the lecture, ask as
many question as you think will help you learning the concept
BUT unnecessary delays in covering the course material should be avoided
Purpose of the Course
To learn basics of Geographic Information Science Hands-on-training of GIS software Get to know multidisciplinary applications of GIS Students should get prepared or at least start
thinking about the potential areas/topic for their thesis
Course Outline
Course Syllabus Reading material will be provided in class if
required Name of reference books and other reference
material will be provided time to time Text Book –
Paul Bolstad: GIS Fundamentals (theory) GIS Tutorial: Basic Workbook (lab exercises)
Student should be prepared for in class exercises

Topics to be Covered
Labs
Main focus on using ArcGIS tools and methods Viewing Editing and creating GIS data Queries Geo-processing Geo-referencing Modeling Presenting maps (labeling, layouts)
Homework/Project/Quiz/Exams
Homework: Students will be required to do homework and lab assignments
Quiz: 4 – 6 in class Quiz (both surprise and informed) Lab Quiz: 2 or 3 Lab Quiz during lab sessions 1 Midterm: In class exams (whatever course covered) Lab Exam Final Exam: Comprehensive coverage of the course
Term Project Student are required to chose a topic of their
interest (group project: 2 to 3 students) Work with Core Elements of GIS
Create Geographic Data Analyze Data Represent Data
At the end of the semester (last week of classes) the project report will be submitted by the students with delivering a formal presentation (15 mins presentation)
The final report will consist of a detailed description of all Core Elements of GIS of your project
Guidelines for Terms Project
How to start Frame a problem
A brief statement about what you want to accomplish?
Examples? List important factors to be considered in
light of your problem statement
Modes of Evaluation
Typically the assessment will be based on some or all of the following:
Quizzes Unannounced 10-15 min: ~ 15% Midterm Announced: ~ 30% Assignments : ~5% Lab Reports (1/lab-meeting - as per Instructor’s
requirement ) Projects (As per Instructor’s requirement ~10 %) Final Exam ( 3hr at the end of each Semester ~40%)
Absolute Grading System Grade %age Interpretation Grade

(79.99 ≠ 80 79.99 = ‘B+’ grade)
Application of GIS in Real world
Ask student for what background knowledge they have?
Do they have anything to share in this regard? Few applications/case studies will be discussed in
class You will be knowing more applications throughout

Steps for Successful GIS Analysis
Define goals Choose best data model Define boundaries of geographic region of interest Identify existing spatial data Determine coordinate system for analysis Develop digital database Document database (origin, quality) Perform analyses Report results Update database
