Dear all,
Welcome to the blog for week one! Posting a comment and responding to one another's comments will give you 1% of the module marks per week. To gain the 1% you must post your comments by the Sunday of each week. In the case of this week it will be fine to have a few extra days (Tuesday of week 8) as it usually takes a few days to get everyone on to the blog.
The campus based students will be discussing the same issue with the distance learners.
This week (for 1%) I simply want you to introduce yourselves. Cover the following issues:
1. Distance learner or campus student
2. Name
3. GIS Experience (particularly programming experience)
4. Current work / study
5. Interests
6. Hopes for after the GIS course.
I will start the ball rolling!
My name is Paul McKenzie and I have been working/studying GIS for 15 years and teaching for 9 years. After completing my MSc I did a bit of e-tutoring before starting my PhD. I currently teach a wide variety of courses ranging from undergraduate and postgraduate courses in GIS to GIS short courses for secondary school teachers! I love running and am currently training for a few ultra marathons this year. I also like films, Johnny Cash and church activities (a weird mix I know)!
I look forward to reading your comments.
Paul
