Getting to Know Each Other

It is very important that we all get to know each other, despite the fact that we may well never meet in person. Let me share our teaching philosophy. First and foremost, we believe that learning, especially about Geography, should be fun. We will do our best to make this course enjoyable and challenging. We also believe that we are all partners in the educational process. That means that you have to do your part by doing the readings and other activities, participating in online discussions prepared and with a good attitude, and generally being committed to your own success. You will get out of this program what you put into it. We want this course to provide you with knowledge you need to both be successful in the rest of the program, and to make you a better analyst and, more importantly, critically thinking citizen. We are here to facilitate your learning, but we hope that you will learn as much or more from the interaction with your classmates (some of whom are probably Geospatial Intelligence practitioners). Thus, we need to be comfortable with each other in our virtual classroom.

Please read over my Instructor Information. Then we'll ask you to introduce yourself via a Canvas discussion forum.
