Thursdays (1 hour)
On Thursdays, recitations seek to parallel Tuesdays lectures. Recitations focus on skill-building through an introduction to a variety of software packages and computing devices. For example, the first lab-related recitation speaks to the history and use of the world wide web, followed by an exercise that allows students to launch a basic web page using Macromedia® Dreamweaver®. To capture and manipulate images for the web-based portfolio, students will use digital cameras, scanners, and Adobe Photoshop. Over the next several weeks and through a series of laboratory exercises, students will also learn to use Microsoft Excel and Access to manage and analyze data. Finally, they will also experiment with ESRI ArcView to create maps and conduct basic spatial analyses.
