Your story map will include a selection of your seven best maps from weeks one through five. Since this is something you will want to show a prospective employer, do the best job you can to create an accurate and professional looking presentation. Identify points that you find interesting and would like to emulate in your own GIS Career Story Map. Submit the GIS Map Tour as a link in a .pdf file. Describe each map that is presented Describe the GIS skills and tools used to make each map Explain how the skills can be applied to address research questions, and societal or environmental topics. Create subheadings like the ones in the example and tutorial. Some subheadings suggestions include “GIS Skills” and “Environmental Applications” Cite your textbook and at least two scholarly sources to support how your skills can be applied to address environmental and/or societal issues. You may use the scholarly sources (i.e. academic journal articles) from your reading list. Include a separate references slide that is formatted according to APA style.

Design an experiment that tests the hypothesis you created for the poster (assignment 2 if you had more than one hypothesis, simplify your approach and just choose one of the hypotheses). You will then use this experimental design and write a material & method part in the style of an actual peer reviewed journal. It needs to be an experiment, and not an observational study. You are allowed to assume unlimited money for your project, but try to stay as realistic as possible. If you plan to put your big mammals into confinement, think about ethical aspects. If you use endangered species, mention this and make sure you adjust your sample size accordingly. Component: Hypothesis: Restate your hypothesis (the one that you will focus on if you had several) Material and method part References (if necessary)
Individual Assignment: Drawing upon either your own organisation (or previously worked for) or an organisation with which you are familiar, identify an area of activity and suggest how the current management of operations could be improved. It is important that you explain the area of activity and its purposes clearly by providing adequate information and contextual information of the chosen organisation. For the area of activity identified, define and critically evaluate suitable operational objectives or performance outcomes and suggest how the current management of the operations could be improved. It is important that you seek where possible to apply the various models, concepts, tools and techniques considered during the course. It is also important that you support your work by references and data (where applicable). The individual report to be submitted should be 3000 words ±10%. Please do not exceed the limit, as penalties will be incurred. You must be concise in your efforts, but still convey the meaning to the reader. . Important assessment criteria: Standard of literature review Application of models, concepts, tools and techniques Analysis and synthesis of information from a variety of sources Clarity of expression Knowledge of the subject Accurate and proper citations Good presentation . Allocation of Marks: Demonstrate the ability to critically identify and evaluate an area of activity for improvement (20%) Demonstrate the ability to present and critically analyse information from the organisation and other sources (20%) Demonstrate the ability to critically apply relevant models, concepts, tools and techniques in the area of operations and/or supply chain management (30%) Demonstrate a critical understanding of the effectiveness and limitations of the applied models, concepts, tools and techniques in the area of operations and/or supply chain management (20%) Professional presentation in terms of structure, language, illustration, and accurate and proper Harvardstyle citations (10%) .
