Extra Credit

PrintPrint

This week you have two extra credit opportunities, both of which are Esri training courses.

1. Displaying Data in ArcGIS Pro (1 hour 15 minutes)

Symbol size, color, shape, and pattern affect the user's perception and the map's overall meaning. This course introduces ArcGIS Pro tools for symbology. Learn how to select symbology that represents your data and supports the message you want your map to convey.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, you will be able to perform the following tasks:

  • Apply a single symbol to a layer in ArcGIS Pro.
  • Apply symbols to a layer in ArcGIS Pro using categorical and quantitative attributes.

Accessing and completing the tutorials

  • Go to the Esri Academy (www.esri.com/training/) and log in with your Esri username and password to go to the Esri Training page.
  • Search for “Displaying Data in ArcGIS Pro” and select it from the resulting list.
  • Follow the course outline to navigate and complete the course.
  • Print or save a copy of the Certificate of Completion to a place where you can easily locate it.

Deliverable

Submit your Certificate of Completion to the Extra Credit: Displaying Data in ArcGIS Pro drop box. Note: You have until the last day of class to complete these but I highly recommend doing them BEFORE you begin the term project in Lesson 9.

Grading Criteria

Completion of this module will result in 1 extra credit point.

2. Querying Data in ArcGIS Pro (30 minutes)

A single dataset may store thousands of records and querying the dataset is a fast way to find features. Learn the building blocks of a query expression and how to select features that meet one or more attribute criteria.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, you will be able to perform the following tasks:

  • construct queries in ArcGIS Pro to select features based on specific attributes;
  • describe common data types that are used to define feature attribute fields;
  • identify the components of an attribute query;
  • construct a query using an attribute field that has text values;
  • construct a query using an attribute field that has numeric values.

Accessing and completing the tutorial

  • Go to the Esri Academy (www.esri.com/training/) and log in with your Esri username and password.
  • Search for “Querying Data in ArcGIS Pro” and select it from the resulting list.
  • Follow the course outline to navigate and complete the course.
  • Print or save a copy of the Certificate of Completion to a place where you can easily locate it.
