Questions
Based on the information learned from watching the documentary:
What endangered species were you not aware of that were discussed in the documentary (discuss at least three)? You are required to provide a citation in this paragraph based on where in the video the species are discussed.
Prior to watching the video, what endangered species were you already aware of?
What aspects of the video surprised you? (Citation in the form of a time stamp is required).
What topics did not surprise you in the video? (Citation in the form of a time stamp is required).
What are some of the endangered species in California? Did you already know about these endangered species? What are your thoughts on how many endangered species there are in California? (Citation in the form of a time stamp is required).
Has information in this video changed the way you look at how humans interact and affect the environment and the rest of the biosphere?
What if any of the information you have learned in the video will you share with other people?
Important Reminder: If any portion of your submitted extra credit is flagged for using any apps, software, or programs to assist in your writing, it is an automatic zero.
The intent of this course component is for you to begin at the outset to explore a specific
tourism-related issue that you would like to understand better. This exploration should
begin with the following four steps: 1) First, consider Nelsons (2021) textbook on Tourism Geography so you can begin to determine the scope of issues and a potential topic for your research. 2) Once an issue is identified, begin with an online search of media sources. This will provide you with a general sense of the issue and the regions of the world where it is occurring. It should also raise more questions for you about the issue and where to find further sources of information. 3) Other documents that you may find online include tourism reports and policy information. 4) Once your understanding of the issue has been broadened, the last step is to search for peer-reviewed academic journal articles that provide a more informed context.
For this assignment, you will prepare a Term Paper Proposal that shows what you plan to study, how you will analyze it, and what sources you will use. First, choose a focused research topic related to the course and identify the specific geographic area you will study (explanation above). Next, write a descriptive abstract (100200 words) in one paragraph that explains: (1) your research topic and why it is important, (2) your aims and objectives, (3) the main points and scope of your analysis, and (4) What do you expect to conclude? After the abstract, create a brief outline of your proposed paper that shows the key sections and how they connect to your objectives and conclusions. Then prepare a reference list of 57 credible sources, including academic articles, government documents, and reputable media sources. Four (4) of these articles must be academic PEER REVIEWED- sources such as Annals of Tourism Research, Current Issues in Tourism, Journal of Hospitality and Research, etc
Please write a 2-3 page research proposal using the instructions above and using the documents provided. Pick a great topic for the research paper proposal, which we can expand upon in the future for the main research paper. For now, we are just doing the research paper proposal for which the instructions are in Bold.
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to teach you how data is structured, stored, and accessed in a Geographic Information System (GIS). You will learn about the differences between vector and raster data, coordinate systems, metadata, creating and editing your own data, working with shapefile data, and creating, populating, and sharing a geodatabase. This assignment will enhance your skills in data management, GIS software proficiency, and critical thinking, which are valuable in both academic and professional settings. You will use both ArcGIS Pro AND ArcGIS Onlinein this exercise. Follow the instructions carefully to know which platform to use when. For more information about the difference between the two platforms, see .Time: A 90-minute ESRI training course on data management.
Learning Objectives: You will learn how to:
Download and extract GIS data.
Evaluate data quality using metadata, geography previews, and attribute tables.
Create a geodatabase and feature datasets.
Import data into a geodatabase and organize it into feature classes.
Share your geodatabase and project files.
Tasks:
Complete the ESRI Training Course:
Access and complete the ESRI training course titled Getting Started with Data Management.
Obtain the course certificate and save it as a PDF named YourLastName_Certificate_MapAssignment2.pdf.
ESRI Course: Getting Started with Data Management
The first part of this exercise is an ESRI training course titled .
If you are a JSU student working in the remote connection, you MUST access the course link in a browser you have opened INSIDE the remote connection, not on your own computer. You will download data during the course, and if the data is downloaded to your own computer you will not be able to use it in ArcGIS Pro in the remote connection.
1. Click the course link above to go to the course. When you arrive at the course, click Sign In and enter your account details to sign in.
If you are a JSU student, you MUST use your JSU GIS account. Your professor will not be able to keep track of your work or give you credit for it if you use any other kind of ArcGIS account.
2. After signing in, you will return to the same page, but the Sign In button will be replaced with Launch Course. Click it.
You will be prompted to select which version of ArcGIS Pro you are using.
3. To find which version you have installed, open ArcGIS Pro and sign in if necessary. Click Settings in the bottom-left hand corner and note which version number appears in the About ArcGIS Pro section.
4. Back on ESRI.com, select the appropriate version to begin the course. (If your version number is higher than any of the available options, select the most recent version offered).
Before moving to the course activities, you will have to download the course data on the Overview page. The data is downloaded in the form of an .exe file which you run to install the data in a folder of your choice.
5. Download the data and run the installer.
If you are prompted to create the destination directory, click Yes.
6. After you have successfully installed the data, click Start to move on.
This course has two main topics with multiple activities under each which need to be completed in order. Some of the activities are readings or videos, while others are exercises. The last activity in each topic is a quiz, which you must pass to move on. The quizzes cover all the material within the topic, so be sure to read and watch everything carefully and work through every step of the exercises.
Any activities that require you to use ArcGIS Pro and/or ArcGIS Online are labeled EXERCISE, while other activities are usually readings or videos.
7. Work your way through the course to its conclusion.
In the final exercise, Use ArcGIS to create, store, and share GIS data, you may run into an error in step 5e. The course instructs you to publish an ArcGIS Online layer named Nutrino Vendors, but ArcGIS Online does not allow file names to be duplicated within your organization. If someone else in your organization has already taken this course, it is likely that the name is already taken.
8. To get around this issue, simply add an underscore and your name or something else unique to the file name before clicking Publish.
After you successfully complete the course, you will be taken to the Conclusion page.
9. The deliverable for this section of the exercise will be the course certificate, so click Go to My Learningto find it.
On the My Learning Activity page, you will see all the ESRI training courses you have completed, with the most recent one at the top of the list.
10. Click View Certificate to see your course certificate. Download it and name the file YourLastName_Certificate_Lab2.pdf.
If you are a JSU student working in the remote connection, remember to select a location on the local C: drive when you download your course certificate.
11. You can now close all browser tabs and instances of ArcGIS Pro that you were using for the ESRI training course. The second part of this exercise is entirely separate and does not involve any of that data.
Submission Instructions
Deliverables: You will submit a single zip file named “YourLastName_Lab2” containing:
