| GUS 0821 - Digital Mapping: From Mercator to Mashups |
|
Almost all of us interact with digital maps regularly for finding directions and the locations of services, like the nearest coffee shop. Yet for most, the inner workings of digital maps remain a mystery. This course provides an in-depth exploration of how digital maps work - what technologies support location tracking, where do the mapped data come from, and how digital maps are used to analyze geographic problems in urban and environmental planning and policy, health, and business. Along the way, you will develop quantitative literacy by learning how to acquire spatial data, make digital maps, and critically evaluate mapping applications. NOTE: This course fulfills the Quantitative Literacy (GQ) requirement for students under GenEd and a Quantitative Reasoning (QA or QB) requirement for students under Core. Students cannot receive credit for this course if they have successfully completed CTRP 0821, CRP 0821 or GUS 0921. Credit Hours: 4.000 Levels: NonDegree Continuing Undergrad, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture and Recitation Division: Undergraduate Department: CLA:Geography & Urban Stdies Course Attributes: GenEd Quantitative Literacy, Sustainability Inclusive |
