Welcome to my GIS blog! I will be posting module content for peer review and constructive criticism. I will also be reviewing my workflow and any issues I had with the coursework.

Orientation GIS 5007 Blog Post

 Hi! I'm Chris. Please see my story map here ! I am a USAF veteran utilizing the VA VR&E program. I am a graduate student looking to expand on my GIS knowledge. I served as a Geospatial Analyst for 12.5 years and currently hold a B.S. in Geography and B.S. in GIS. This seemed the next logical step to utilize my education benefits.  Upon completion, I hope to utilize my skills to improve my current companies GIS practices.

Final Project

 Link to StoryMap: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/8b0a9515344d47a1a4433178988ca529  This week was the final project for GIS5050. To be honest, I flopped with this project. I waited until the last minute and provided a sloppy product. If I could redo the project, I would not create map layouts within ArcGIS Pro, but I would have created a web map to flow with the storyboard. As for the class, I believe the class is well-organized and has a great balance. The skills we derived in each module were directly applicable to the final project and will help us retain those skills for further coursework. I have had the opportunity to practice this tradecraft for almost 13 years now, and this is the best intro course I have taken. Like I said before, I managed my time poorly and could have improved upon my skills, which doesn't give credit to this course.

 Lab 2 was a success and an absolute wonderful refresher for me. Cartography is probably my favorite thing about GIS. There is something about seeing data displayed on a map that piques my interest. I had some issues during the lab, however, it wasn't from the program or the map creation itself. I found myself rereading the lab instructions multiple times to figure out some of the processes needed for the completion of the lab. Luckily, my peers posted in the help forum to help me fix the issues and understand where I was going wrong. Additionally, I enjoyed learning new and better ways to create certain map elements. I had issues with dynamic text before but for some reason it just clicked in this lab.
