GIS at Pace
Peggy Minnis, Ph.D.
Pace University - MMinnis@pace.edu
This free course is being offered in the fall 2023 term. The syllabus for the course may be seen
here .
There is
a FAQ at the bottom of that page. If you have other questions, email me.
The platform will be Google Classroom. The course will start August 28 and end before
Thanksgiving.
Once you click the link for enrollment, you are automatically enrolled. If you enrolled by mistake, email me and I will unenroll you.
The course is totally online and there is no live meeting sessions. New
lessons posted each Monday and must be finished by the following Sunday to be
graded.
Students can choose from among four GIS programs to do their weekly assignments
(ArcMAP, ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Global Mapper).
Most people stay with one platform throughout the course.
A certificate is granted to each person who finishes the assigned work by the
end of the course; Pace University awards an electronic badge to completers.
The videos below are for former students who need to refer back to a lesson.
They might not be in chronological order and some are old, but the function will
be covered in a newer edition of that topic.
The order for the programs is: ArcMAP, QGIS, Global Mapper, ArcGIS Pro.
