NOTES:
- Some notes on plagarism. More at wikipedia.
- Garmin GPS instructions, including how to get the data into ArcMap.
- How to cite papers, websites, etc. All the major styles are covered here.
- If you don't know how to touch-type, you will be in for a very long quarter (and career) spending way too much time trying to type. The time you spend learning will pay for itself in one semester. Typing tutors are avialable online, or you can buy one for around $20.
- Also, for those of you who have never read a guide to netiquette (the do's and don'ts of communicating electronically), please visit wikipedia's site - which includes links to many other pages.
- How to behave on an internet forum
- Scholarly Data, Network Science, and (Google) Maps
- Radical Cartography
- Finally, a bonus for those of you who are actually reading the above information. I have an ongoing offer of extra credit for websites which I can add to my Virtual Cartographer website. 1% added to your final grade for every site which I add to that webpage (maximum of 2% per quarter per class). View the front page of the Virtual Cartographer site for the definition of what I consider acceptable sites.
