Same blog—Different name

You get the point, why re-invent the wheel when I can just change what I call it. I'm looking forward to another action packed semester of GIS.

Week 10-

This lab was very clear about what needed to be accomplished, join a database file with a shapefile, to calculate the acreage of parcels, and then use the select by attribute functions to determine the four largest landowners. I wish I had done this over spring break.

Week 9 - Overlays

Q1: I used intersect to create my layer, visually I didn't notice a difference. However; in the attribute table I did notice there were two records with intersect, compared to four with union.

Q2: I used the erase tool for my results, because I needed to subtract the overlapping areas to eliminate them from being candidates for possible camp sites.

Q3: I ended up with 81 features, my largest area was 775,304 sq. meters, and my smallest was 748.11 sq. meters.

Week 7

This was a great, quick assingment, that helped me recharge my batteries quite a bit. Everything clicked with this project, the only complaint I have is that ESRI spoon feeds you through thte entire exercise, so it makes the challenge dissapear, I know for me just reading and following everything step by step, makes it harder for me to actually learn something. I wish their assignments didn't hold my had as much as they do.

Week 6 Georeferencing

This assignment was a lot of fun, it would have been even more fun had I read the instructions all the way through before starting on it. I added my control points and updated the georeference before I wrote down the RMS value for the first part of the lab. I tried to fiigrue out f there was a way I could find out the info I hadd added again, but I didn't have much lusck with that, so I started over and did it again. This time I read all the instructions.

My RMS Values are:
UWF_n: RMS= 7.43321, 1st Order
UWF_s1: RMS=2.77766, 3rd Order
