[x] Check out your professor's Zoom room (link and password to be emailed to you separately)
[x] Check out your professor's Nooks community (this is where Office Hours are normally held; however, you can schedule a meeting at a mutually convenient time via GroupMe chat or email)

Weekly Engagement
[x] Sign up here to schedule to contribute at least once to each of the five weekly topics.
If you are a certificate student, instead sign up for one topic each week.
[x] Question of the week. Date(s): 3/26
[x] Data share of the week. Date(s): 2/5
[x] Ethics consideration of the week. Date(s): 2/19
[x] Vocab term of the week. Date(s): 3/5
[x] Method of the week. Date(s): 3/19
[x] Respond to and/or engage with the five weekly discussion posts.
If there is no natural response, then please respond with a reaction to the comment.
[x] Research, script, and record a podcast episode on the topic of geoethics.
Include three (3) sources or citations.
Be sure to share the podcast on the course discussion board.
[x] Organize all your items on AGOL.
This includes updating the metadata (summary, description, terms of use, tags, and credits (attribution) appropriately.
Come up with a plan on how you organize your AGOL content and a system for tagging your items; consider posting to the discussion board your ideas on how to best use tags.
-- I didn't orgnize everything everything, but I did make it a lot better considering I had over 100 random stuff
[x] Create a file geodatabase for organizing your datasets (see AGOL item)
[x] Create a web presence (e.g., website) for your GIS consulting work.
URL: First Ascent Site
It should include the following:
[x] Link to article you are reviewing
[x] Video (~20 min or less) that summarizes your article (background, methods, and results + your first impressions)
[x] Video (~10 min or less) on data collection or creation (w/ map or visual)
[x] Audio/video (~ 5 min or less) on a geoprocess or challenge you faced
[x] Weekly blog (should highlight milestones, methods, updates)
[x] Section on geoethics
[x] Prepare a publicly accessible progress report for your client meeting.
It may be your website, slideshow, StoryMap, or another web-accessible document.
Be sure to include visual aids.
Remember that your client is not a GIS expert; tone your report for a lay audience.
[x] Schedule a progress report meeting with your client here.
[x] Write down your thoughts regarding the experience of working through this project and the client meeting.
[x] Prepare solutions to two (2) special works projects.
Note that the same special works project cannot be used to satisfy both of the following.
[x] Create a tutorial that accomplishes the reproducibility of your methods and results
[ ] Complete a special works project live to your professor.
[x] Prepare your Performance Accomplishments document and share it with your professor.
[x] Objective 1: include the benefits of independent and collaborative work
[x] Objective 2: prepare a definition of geoethics and provide example(s) that demonstrate what it means (include all necessary citations)
[x] Objective 3: Highlight a skill that you learned this semester (e.g., time management, data management, programming or other); reflect on how you organized your AGOL content; and reflect on the three pitfalls of GIS:
Failure to know GIS (theory and lexicon).
Failure to communicate GIS (purpose, process and metadata).
Failure to execute GIS (using the right data with the right tools in the right way).
[x] Objective 4: reflect on your client meeting, what you would have done differently, and the challenges with communicating geospatial methods to a lay audience
[x] Objective 5: reflect on the benefits of programmatic approaches for addressing geospatial challenges and provide an example
[x] Complete the course evaluation.
Please include your thoughts on the asynchronous course structure, things that worked, and things that didn't work for you.
[x] Permission to use media (e.g., web content, audio or video) unrestricted for educational purposes is granted
