Course ID: | GEOG 4410/6410-4410L/6410L. 3 hours. 2 hours lecture and 2 hours lab per week. | Course Title: | Cartographic Visualization Methods | Course Description: | Theory and application of computer technology in the preparation of thematic maps and graphics. Emphasis on the creation, analysis, and display of statistical surfaces. Students explore trends in cartographic visualization methods, including interactive and animated mapping techniques. | Oasis Title: | Cartog Visualization Methods | Semester Course Offered: | Offered fall and spring semester every year. | Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
| Course Objectives: | Successful completion of this course will provide the following learning outcomes:
An understanding of cartographic visualization techniques and their development;
An advanced approach to thematic map design for multivatiate presentation;
An understanding of the modifiable area unit problem and how it affects display of
temporal data;
An analysis of type placement in various GIS and mapping software;
An understanding and application of techniques used in map animation;
A greater understanding of the use of color for thematic mapping.
This course meets the following General Education Abilities by accomplishing the
specific learning objectives listed below:
Communicate effectively through writing. This is met by a series of writing
assignments associated with supplemental reading and data analysis.
Communicate effectively through speech. This is met by oral presentations,
discussion leading, and classroom participation.
Computer Literacy is addressed through course administration, student-faculty
electronic interaction, data analysis activities and assignments, and exposure to
GIS technologies.
Critical Thinking is central to the learning objectives of this class, and are
developed through homework assignments, lecture, classroom discussion, and inquiry-
based learning efforts.
Moral Reasoning (Ethics) is an important element of this course, as it considers
ethical guidelines for use of geographic visualizataion technologies and considers
the role of mapping sciences in economic development and human welfare. Moral
reasoning is developed through lectures, writing assignments, classroom discussion,
and inquiry-based learning activities. | Topical Outline: | Designing Better Graphs
