Step 6: Create a poster with maps (cartographic products) that explain or answer
your spatial question
All groups should produce a poster (max size 100 cm x 70 cm) that explains and introduces
their spatial problem, the methods used the solve the problem, the results of the analysis
and a discussion of any conclusions or interesting things learned. This poster should have
maps that show the results of their spatial analysis and be "cartographically correct" (as
discussed in class).
Step 7: Present at GIS Day
Each group will present the results of their work through a poster presentation. A student
from each group should be at "GIS day" (last class) to display their poster and answer
questions. Not all group members have to present but every group will present their work
to the class and answer questions about their methods, results and conclusions. All group
members should be present in class to attend the "GIS-Day" conference and view other
students posters. The students will vote on their favourite poster in the class. The TA's will
also vote and prizes will be given for each.
Marking Scheme:
Group Project Proposal: 5% of your final mark
Introduction of spatial problem: 1 points
Description of roles of each group member and table of dates each person will
complete each portion of the work: 0.5 points*
*note: this should simply be a list/table of what each group member will accomplish - if you
are planning on "splitting" all of the work evenly - you still need to tell me who will do
which specific analysis function. If you are unclear on what this means, please ask.
Group Project Final Poster and Presentation: 15% of your final mark
Description of spatial problem (updated from proposal): 2 point
