  Description    
This is not the beginning class in GIS. The beginning class is the GIS - The Executive Overview that does not provide a hands-on experience with a full featured GIS. This class, the GIS - The Novice Case Study, is the second class in the Appraisal Institute’s GIS curriculum. Which provides a hands-on experience for the complete beginner in using a full-featured GIS to make the most basic maps. Yes, maps containing similar subject matter can be made with other tools, but if you are going to use a GIS in your practice, you have to learn how to do the basics. After you have finished the Novice case studies, you will be prepared to take any of the advanced case study classes, which provide specialized instruction for applications used in different types of appraisal practices and that can only be done using a full-featured GIS.



Through a series of case studies, the Novice Case Study seminar will expose the student to about 75% of the functionality that any appraisal practice would expect of a full-featured GIS. The class is easy to follow and only assumes that you have been exposed to the concepts covered in the overview class. The class is punctuated with hints and advice on how to use a GIS. The class was written presuming a basic understanding of the Windows operating system.



PLEASE NOTE: The class uses Maptitude GIS software. This is a full-featured GIS program published by
Caliper Corporation. The software is available at a discount for Appraisal Institute members. Details on purchasing the software are given in the, prerequisite seminar, GIS - The Executive Overview.



Required software: Maptitude GIS version 5. You can purchase this software from Caliper for a discount.

  • Students will use a subject property to create: - · A topographic map showing the topography of the subject property and the surrounding properties with an outline of the subject property displayed on top of the topographic map.

  • Students will use a subject property to create - · A flood map showing an aerial photo as the base layer with a flood map overlaying it and the outline of the subject property on top. The flood map will be a thematic map that shows the different flood zones that relate to the subject property and nearby properties.
