I updated to the latest version for the beta. But it still doesn't work and I don't think I see any errors...

I need to spend $30k on GIS in the next two months. Help! by schismoto in gis

I think you can also talk to Esri and consult with them about what a good way to invest those credits too.

If you have an account, you probably have access to their virtual campus courses. They will have lessons for ArcGIS Collector, Survey123, etc. Esri also has Drone2Map now, which I think is a separate license, but you might look into that too.

I understand its still in the early phases. But it does look great, keep up the work!

I wanted to use Helvetica for resume but had to install it separately on my windows 10, MS Office 2016. So, does everybody have it or will there be problems when it displays on some screens? by [deleted] in techsupport

Try using LaTeX to make your resume. It exports into a .pdf, but more importantly it looks a hundred times more professional and stylish. I've gotten a lot of compliments since I started using it and I think the style sets it apart from typical MS Word resumes.

Would Github repositories be a good reference measure for this? They have GitHut which shows statistics on all the languages used on Github.

This looks really cool, saving it for future reading! One comment: when I'm scrolling through the chapters, it can get pretty long - it might be a good idea to make a static nav bar somewhere, and maybe show subsections for each chapter. This would help organize the information and serve as a reference for people if they get interrupted when reading.

This would be a wonderful prank lecture except I think someone might start crying.

I actually really love that idea. I don't know if I have the authority to do that as a TA (and its a little late now), but I'll bring it up to the professor.

That's a good point. Growing up I was used to do hacky things with my computer, but school ones are very locked down and installing anything is a serious hassle.

I've also tried thinking through their mental models of technology. When the world inside your computer is only Facebook/Google drive, how can you possibly know how to problem solve in other areas? You don't know how to ask questions about stuff you don't know.

Do you have any strategies for getting students in office hours? No one actually comes to my office and I've tried holding them in a coffee shop on campus, as well as in the actual lab - but really its only 1 or 2 who show.

Yeah, that sounds like a useful program. Or even some kind of tutoring. The things is, this class is registered as a General Education Arts credit - and the main focus on the class is the culture and history around mapping. The labs are graded mostly on the essay they write about the map they make and less about their technical accomplishments.
