GIS at Pace
Peggy Minnis, Ph.D.
Pace University - MMinnis@pace.edu
This free course is being offered in the fall 2024 term.
The syllabus for the course may be seen at http://webpage.pace.edu/MMinnis/GISSyllabus. There is a FAQ at the bottom of that page.
Instruction will begin on August 26, 2024 and end the week before Thanksgiving.
Google Classroom is our platform. To enroll, using your GMail account on Chrome, this link should take you to the site:
https://classroom.google.com/c/Njk2MzAzMzU3MDU0?cjc=xpp2s2g
The course is totally online and there is no specific time to meet, new lessons posted on Mondays.
All students, no matter the GIS platform, should be working on the same skills during the week and posting maps of their favorite area, demonstrating the skills mastered.
Each week, the posted maps will be evaluated, so that your progress can be quantified.
A certificate is granted to each person who finishes the assigned work by the end of the course; Pace University awards an electronic badge.
Lately, most students are seeking instruction in ArcGIS Pro and QGIS..
