Course Description (GEO 191):
This course focuses on the theory and practice of making maps. Its objective is to help students develop the appropriate spatial skills so that they can transform geographic data into abstractions of the world. Topics will include the basics in mapping (e.g., scale, spatial reference systems, and projections), data acquisition, interpretation, construction techniques for thematic mapping, principles of cartographic design, animation, preparations for digital display, and cartography as an element of Geographic Information Science. This course contains a significant lab component.
