They are also incredible tools for communication, data sorting, and insight finding.
This is a hands-on, project-centered course where students will create maps to to synthesize complex information and also use maps as a tool for working on design problems. Students will tackle three main projects and several shorter assignments. Perfect attendance is absolutely mandatory.
