For the progress report, hand in as many copies of maps or other content material (e.g. Atlas text) as possible for preview.

For the project, hand in one copy of your final project.

HTML projects are handed in only as a paper notification of the website address, or on disk. All website projects will be linked to from the instructor’s website or placed on the instructor’s workstation in our classroom, so the class as a whole can see the results. The proposal and report are due by 4:00 pm on Friday of the appropriate week at the instructor's office (under door is OK). The final project is due on the day noted in the schedule (April 14th), not in class time.

1. Explain what you want to do – a detailed 1-page description of the project.
2. Say where you expect to find the data – books, websites, contacts, personal observation etc.
3. Describe what progress you have made so far in acquiring the data.
4. Describe how you presently expect the finished project to look:
- sheet map: sketch of sheet layout showing all components.
- atlas: detailed table of contents.
- HTML: diagram of page linkages (like a site map or flow chart).
- multilayer dataset: list of layers and map of area to be covered
- GIS analysis: explanation of problem, method, list of layers and map of area to be covered.
5. Set out a schedule for the term: list the tasks you expect to be completed each week until the end of the project.

1. Explain any changes to your plans since the last report.
2. Describe progress on data collection, highlighting anything still missing.
3. Describe progress on the various components of the project
- use a checklist to show what is finished, in progress or not yet begun (this can be combined with item 4).
4. List tasks to be completed each week until the end of the project.
5. Include at least one sample print of your work to show me what you are doing – even if it is at the very earliest stages – EVEN if it is only a pencil sketch of a proposed layout. SAMPLES like these are very important, as they help me identify problems and suggest improvements. The more I can see, the more I can help. Remember – you are not marked (in the progress report!) on the quality of these sample maps, you are marked for demonstrating progress.

All HTML projects are to be put up on the ITS web server or a comparable outside server. All UWO students are eligible for an e-mail account on the ITS server, which includes up to 5 Mb of website space.

YOU are responsible for setting up an account with ITS as soon as possible (if you don't have one already), initializing your website (instructions on the ITS website) and transferring your files to the server. The instructor will help with this but you must initiate it. If you have an outside website, you can use that instead. The progress report for HTML projects should include the installation of at least two linked files (graphics or HTML) on the server to serve as a test of procedures and to ensure all HTML programming is not left until the last minute.

These will be brief (5 minute) statements on the proposed project, on progress, and finally on the completed (or nearly completed) project. It would be desirable to include illustrations or demonstrations, including Powerpoint if you like. The purpose of the presentations is to provide an opportunity for feedback and to strengthen class involvement. Marks are awarded by the instructor for content quality, NOT for the professional appearance of the presentation. Each presentation is worth 5 marks. To be fair to everybody, presentations can only be made in the scheduled weeks.
