CEEn 414 - Civil Engineering Applications of GIS

It is imperative that you stay current on your homework in this class. Many of the class periods will be spent in working through assignments together and in small groups. However, if you fall behind then this type of activity will be fruitless. Therefore, I will hold very tightly to my late policy which is 25% per day up to a 50% maximum (weekends do not count). It can be a bit difficult to stay engaged while doing on-line exercises so we will try working through many together and then I'll try to provide extended exercises to be sure that you are learning the application of GIS as well as mastering the tools of ArcGIS. There really is no substitute for learning GIS than doing it yourself, and the training materials developed by ESRI are better than anything else I could develop, and they are as current as anything out there.

You MUST Email the TA with a valid web page (URL) link of the completed assignment in the email message for each assignment. Be sure to include the homework number for the assignment in the Subject Field of the email. He cannot on his own check to see if you have finished and will only count the homework on time if you have sent him an email by the time it is due, so do not forget to do this.

It is difficult to come up with multiple sets of homework, quizzes, and exams. Therefore I use many from previous years. For this reason it is wrong and I consider it cheating to view or use past homework/quizzes/tests as study information for this class.
