Final Project

For our final project, we were instructed to create a map displaying two thematic datasets also known as a bivariate map. This was very similar to the map we created in week 7 and I expanded upon the skills I learned in that module to create a more visually appealing and coherent map. I chose to work with the first scenario for the objective of my map. I created a map that could be used by the Washington Post to compare mean SAT scores and test participation rates of high school seniors in 2014. Both of these statistics can be compared to state size on a larger scale as I used the United States Albers Equal Area Conic projection. Since this map focuses on the comparison of average test scores to participation percentages, two comparable data presentation types were used.   For test scores, I elected to use graduated symbols so that I could separate the data into the same number of classes as the participation percentage variables. These symbols were separated into five c...

Module 1: Introducing Python

Module 1: Introducing Python This week, we learned about expectations for this class in the form of deliverables and blog posts and went through an introduction to Python, IDLE, Spyder, and Python within ARCPro. We also learned how to calculate using pseudocode and about the Zen of Python, which I thought was very thought provoking and really liked.  I felt that this lab was pretty easy to follow and learn from, but I can see the great opportunity for things to become more complicated as we go along. The most trouble I experienced was retrieving The Zen of Python from Spyder or Python on ArcGIS Pro. I ultimately did it, but I am not confident in my skills there. I am also iffy about pseudocode and will find out if I am on the right track when my assignment is graded and by the feedback I receive. I really appreciated that the lab for Module 1 was useful for the course overall. A lot of time was previously spent creating folders and transferring data each week in my pre...
