INTRO GIS4043 - Lab1 Overview of ArcGIS

This weeks introduction lab laid the foundation for building my ArcGIS mastery.

The overview lesson delved into the basics of the software program Arcmap. This program is a tool for creating layered maps in a graphic user interface. The program seemed fairly easy to navigate at first glance but the overview lesson lended to a more in depth approach that revealed some of the programs more hidden features such as meta data viewing, and the various different ways to select and view map data. After completing the first lesson I feel like gained a solid understanding of the material and how to go about navigating the program. Overall, I am very pleased with my first map, a global map that color coordinates all of the countries of the world by population, and I look forward to future lessons.
