RA694 Graduate Project II (2 cr.)

Prerequisite(s): RA693 
This course continues to build upon research established in RA693.  This course promotes progress toward successful completion of the master’s degree in Geographic Information Science (MSGIS).  The purpose of this course is to implement the tasks of the graduate proposal, write the final research manuscript, and present research findings through a defense/public presentation. Research tasks may include, but are not limited to refining and /or automating data, developing appropriate analysis of data, and/or statistical analysis used in confirming hypotheses or beliefs.  Research findings are written in a professional journal-style project manuscript that conforms to the RA handbook.  The learner also defends/presents findings and project understanding through a public presentation. It is expected learners fully commit to a research topic.  Learners are encouraged NOT to register for this course if there are uncertainties in their project proposal, timelines, and/or if a major change in project scope is envisioned.

Upon completion of this course, students are expected to be able to do the following:

  1. Apply knowledge of advanced principles, theories, and concepts of spatial data analysis for GIS research, design, and implementation.
