We will complete 8 lab exercises during the semester, each worth 10 points toward your final grade. We will make use of the computing facilities in the Geography GIS lab (JRC room 426) and other pieces of equipment. These assignments are detailed in your exercise manual and will be completed during the regularly-scheduled class period. There will be an assignment sheet for each lab to turn in at the end of the class period.
