About ME
Leave a CommentMy name is Brandon Hunter and I am a senior here at Ohio Wesleyan. I’m from Northeast Ohio, specifically Twinsburg and I’m studying geography here at OWU. I am a member of the OWU track and field team for which I throw the javelin. In my free time I love playing sports, with basketball being my favorite to play, and doing anything that will get me out of the house or dorm room. I’m a huge Cleveland sports fan whether they are good (Cavs) or not so good…(Browns). This is pretty much all you need to know about me..

Schuurman Chapters 4-5
Chapter 4 of the Schuurman reading discusses bringing all at data together into one set model. Deciding on which model that you want to use when mapping your data is a huge deal. Deciding what you want to get through to your readers and in the clearest sense is what needs to be decided.
Chapter 5 further discusses the relationship between GIScience and GISystems. This chapter focuses on the next step in becoming more familiar with the ArcGIS software. It discusses the different training that one could partake in to become more comfortable with the software if they are interested in furthering their GIS experience.
Schuurman Chapters 2-3
chapter 2 in the Schuurman book discusses the distance between Human Geography and GIS itself. The Difference between the human geography and GIS is the fact that GIS is very technological while human geography is methodological. The human geographers spend a good amount of time trying to find out problems with the GIS software.
This chapter also discusses epistemology and ontology. Epistemology is the methods used to study the world, and the lenses they entail. While ontology refers to what something really is in a physical sense.

Getting to Know ArcGIS Chapter 16
Chapter 16 discusses how to delete and modify different features already placed in different maps. We also learn how to split and merge different features as well. Finally we learn how to edit the values of different attributes of that are within our maps.
Getting to Know ArcGIS Chapter 15
in Chapter 15 we learn how to edit different features on the maps with the editing toolbar. With this toolbar we learn how to link different points to each other. THere are also different construction tools that we can use as well.
Getting to Know ArcGIS Chapter14
Chapter 14 did not completely match up with the software that we are using which made it difficult to complete. But this chapter discussed creating personal geodatabases. We also learned that we can import and export data from one format to another. THis chapter also discusses adding fields and domains.
Getting to Know ArcGIS Chapter 13
In chapter 13 we learn how to correct data that has been mapped slightly incorrectly by defining certain projections. WE aslo learn how to project different types of data such as maps of different countries.
Getting to Know ArcGIS Chapter 12
In chapter 12 we learn how to put a buffer zone around specific points on our maps with the help of ArcToolbox. We also learn how to use the field calculator to calculate different attributes on our maps. We also learn how to deal with overlying data; how to put some data on top of other data.
Getting to Know ArcGIS Chapter 11
In chapter 11 we are introduced to the ArcToolbox and some of the different functions that are in it. We also learn how to create our own graphs with the help of the Graph Wizard.
