Midterm
March 25, 2008
We are continuing to work on the midterm project. I am trying to finish my maps, which have been a lot more difficult than expected. It also does not help that my computer keeps shutting down when I bring up ArcGIS. I should be done by tomorrow!
Getting to Know ArcGIS chapter 14-16
March 3, 2008
So, I came across some problems in chapter 14 with the software being updated and I freaked out for a second before realizing that everyone else was experiencing the same, or similar problems. Chapters 15 and 16 went through smoothly, though
Today, we are finishing up our tutorials. We were also assigned our take home midterm project.
