Test 2 Review

Your Test 2 will be written this Thursday, April 2 from 11:30-12:30.

The format will be 2 short essays. You do not need to study the power point lecture notes for this test. The 2 questions will involve the two pdf readings that are on the class p:drive. You should read these before Thursday and be prepared to answer the following questions (no aids are allowed in the test):

1. Using the pdf document of the same name on the p: drive, briefly outline some of the key "milestones in the history of data visualization".

2. Using the cartographic journal article "More mapping, Less Cartography: Tackling the Challenge", describe the "challenge" that is being proposed by Cassettari.

Apologies folks, but there won't be class today...I am recovering from a mishap that involved my face and the pavement while I was in Toronto. I will be posting the review content for your test here by mid-day Tuesday. The test will still go ahead this Thursday, April 2.
E-mail me if you have any questions or concerns.

New and interesting sites and blogts

I just came across this blog tonight: it deals with interesting items related to Google Earth, including interactive maps, which we will be discussing in some detail in a future class.

I also discovered Geocommons, which could come in handy with some of your cartography projects. Watch out, this one is addictive (to a Geography Professor, anyway).

And finally, a blog called Off the Map is really well done and fantastic to browse through.
