Hands-On Practice

Every Thursday of Weeks 2 through 12, except Week 7, is a working session in QGIS 3.44. Each one has its own page below: what the session is for, what to have ready, a practice run you can do on your own beforehand, a minute-by-minute plan, the click-by-click walkthrough, the graded upload, and the snags that usually come up.

Weeks 1, 7, 13, 14 and 15 have no hands-on session. Week 1 meets once, Week 7's Thursday is a short lecture on web services that ends in a follow-along (its steps are in the slides), Week 13 is a work session or holiday, and Weeks 14 and 15 are final project presentations.

Each page is written so that someone who has never run the session can rehearse it alone in about twenty minutes before class.
