Congratulations to Gail Sease on being named GIS Online Student Spotlight for her outstanding work in GIS Programming (GIS 5103).
Welcome to the spotlight Gail!Summer 2015 is Gail's final semester in the Graduate GIS Certificate Program. She has been a dedicated member of our student body for the past few semesters and I know we will all miss her! Outside the certificate program, Gail works as a geologist in California. During her internship this past spring, she worked with her dad's small mineral exploration company analyzing geographic data. Welcome to the spotlight Gail - you rock! Hehe

Module 6: Geoprocessing with Python
Instructor: Dr. Derek Morgan
This week, students built on previous exercises and wrote their first GIS python script purely from scratch. This script added XY coordinates to a shapefile, created a buffer around these points, then executed a dissolve on the buffer to create a single feature layer. Additionally, they learned to utilize the GetMessages() function to return geoprocessing messages.
Student Leaning Outcomes:

Student Leaning Outcomes:
- Adjust your geoprocessing environment
- Run geoprocessing functions within ArcMap via Python
- Use geoprocessing parameters and variables programmatically
- Distinguish syntax signature between ArcPy functions and classes
- Using geoprocessing tools
- Getting help with tool syntax
- Explore ArcPy functions and classes
- Control environment settings
- Work with tool messages
- Work with licenses
Next week, we will spotlight a student from GIS 4048 - Applications in GIS, Instructor: Penelope Mitchell.
