Welcome to GEOG 580: Geovisual Analytics!
This course was developed to provide students with opportunities to explore real-world problems with geovisual analytics.
The seminar structure was chosen to give students experience investigating and discussing many topics, and hands-on lab work is included to provide experience using and critiquing various geovisual analytics platforms.
Students read and discuss weekly, complete four lab exercises, and delve into two major projects: a literature review and a final project that includes intermediary checkpoints. The literature review gives students practice reviewing and analyzing a large body of knowledge, and students enjoy the fact that they can choose their own topics so that they can dive into final projects that allow them to apply what they've learned in the labs. Finally, at the end of the course, students enjoy sharing and exchanging ideas surrounding the set of projects completed by their classmates.
