Advanced Cartographic Methods is a graduate seminar in cartography. The course examines advanced methods for the representation of spatial data. Emphasis is placed on the design of interactive and animated maps that may be distributed through the Internet. A particular emphasis of the course is how an urban environment can be represented on the web. Projects will be directed toward the creation of a map-based web page for Omaha.

MODULES
1) Omaha Center Maps and web page design; 2) Javascript, Google Maps and UNO campus map; 3) Advanced ArcMap.  Other topics to be covered: map design principles; Text and graphic editing. Readings to be assigned.

COURSE CONDUCT
Lectures and discussions, based upon reading assignments and designed to supplement such readings, form the core of the course. Students are held responsible for all material covered in class and all assignments and, therefore, absent themselves at their risk. Missing an exam or failing to complete an exercise will result in a grade of zero for such work.

GRADING

Final grades will be based upon the assignments, course participation (blog page, class discussion), a final project, and a final essay exam. Grading is carried through on the total points accumulated with 90%, 80%, 70% and 60% representing the approximate cut-offs between letter grades.
