I had so many issues with error messages that it took me until today to get past the beginning of deliverable 2 and I have been trying all weekend. Once I got past the error messages, I actually enjoyed this lab. I had fun playing with it.

week 6 - Alachua County

This was pretty straightforward, though it took me forever to get ArcMap to quite freezing up every time I tried to edit the data properties.
I enjoyed playing with the 4 part map. I didn't begin to have any issues until the weighted overlay maps. Those I could not seem to get to work right no matter how I played with it. I posted what I managed to do. I could interpret the data and could see by the shaded areas of each of the issues versus the location of the places that it would be an either or type of deal. The areas with the higher home values and older populations were much farther from UF and NFRMC. They would have to determine which set of standards were more important.

Process Summary – Module 4: Hurricane Katrina

1. Explored the data. Everything seemed to be pretty straightforward and easy to find. I did have some issues with the metadata charts. The attribute values and resolution for rasters was confusing.
2. Set the environments – I figured this one out! The step by step instructions were very clear.
3. Produced the first map – got all the way through it, saved it and had to start over because it saved a blank map…though the file name was correct, there was nothing in it.
4. Continued to follow the steps, though this would be so much easier ans less stressful if the remote servers were faster….everything kept freezing up and I kept having to restart ARCMap, losing whatever I did since the last save. This was on RS 1 & 2.
5. I got to number 6 on step 8 before I got confused. I still can’t figure out what they were talking about in the “hint” section.
6. The final issue I had was the final deliverable. I could not figure out how to save the attribute table to make it a deliverable. So I just created a map for each, acreage and square miles.

final project

I hope this works, I am confused on how to do the link....

Summary

I got lost about the time Multipart of Singlepart came into play. So, I am really not sure of the answers to the questions.
1) I tried a bunch of tools and couldn't get snything that looked similar
2) I just used the conservation layer on top without any transparency...that blocked out the sites you couldn't use, leaving the potential sites visible
3) since I got lost and really didn't understand this, I knew if I got any results from this question, it wouldn't be accurate

spring break lab

the first few times I tried this lab, i made it harder then it was. however, I am still not sure how to add the acreage into the symbology labels...

week 7

this lab was not fun, imo. I had a very hard time with it. my laptop is lucky to still be alive. Once Kellie explained it to me, after seeking help, it was easier, but there were a few things I'm still very fuzzy on.

lab 6

The RMS error for the second was 33.92768
at 2nd polynomial it was 18.35927
at 3rd polynomial it was 14.09328

the RMS error on the first one was 13.31078

Lab 4

I have to admit that I have cussed at my computer way too much since this class started. It took me forever to figure out some of this stuff and I probably didn't do it right, even though I got the end result. I'm feel quite moronic at the moment.

week 3

I really had a hard time with certain elements of this lab...I had a lot of difficulty and could not figure out how to change some of the default names in the legend.

week 3

I thought it was funny at first that Mexico was the subject this week, seeing as I am leaving tomorrow to go on a cruise there...but I didn't think it was funny for long...

lab 2

Here is the lab 2 deliverable. I had a massive fight with this because the ArcMap kept freezing up on me.

deliverable 2

I had to redo this one several times because I was having problems getting it to look like it should...but, yippee!!! I finally did it!

deliverable 1

I am just praying this works right...I have never used a blog before....and I realized after I saved it, that I never put a "title" and "name" on it....
