Introduction to GIS
Undergraduate course, University of Nottingham, School of Geography, 2021
I am currently a teaching affiliate for the 1st year undergraduate module Introduction to GIS. In this module, the students are introduced to the concepts and practices of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for spatial thinking and simple GIS-based problem solving. In addition to learning the theoretical principles underpinning GIS, the students also learn the basics of applied GIS analysis using ArcGIS Online through a series of practical tasks, including proximity analysis, spatial analysis, and visualisation techniques. This year, the module is being delivered 100% online through a series of lecture engagement sessions and drop-in classes, hosted on Microsoft Teams, to support the students’ learning.
In my role as TA, I am responsible for:
- Providing assistance and advice to students with the ArcGIS Online practical tasks
- Marking and giving feedback to the students for their coursework
