GIS
Understand the Theory and Practice GIS in QGIS
This GIS (Geographic Information Systems) course will get you up and running with GIS in a very short time. By the end of the course, you will feel confident and completely understand GIS technology and how to use GIS software to make maps.
In the course, you will be able to create both offline and online GIS maps from scratch. On top of that, you will practice GIS by completing an entire GIS project using census datasets that contain millions of data records.
The course is ideal for professionals such as programmers, social scientists, geologists, and all other experts who need to use maps in their field. If you're planning to undertake a task that requires GIS skills, this course will give you the confidence you need to understand and solve a GIS problem.
In the course, you will understand what GIS is by looking at various GIS use cases. You will learn about vector and raster formats used in GIS. You will also learn about GPS and remote sensing technologies which are tightly related to geographic information systems. The course also covers map projections which can become the nightmare of a GIS project if they are not properly understood. You will convert geographic coordinates back and forth to different projection systems.
One important part of the course is the practice activities. You will be given some raw spatial data which you will use to create a map using the QGIS software. Moreover, you will learn how web mapping works and you will create a web map with QGIS and OpenLayers and publish it online on your own website without using any third party service.
In the last part of the course, you will learn how to acquire, clean, analyze, and visualize education and income data from the census database.

easy to follow
the instructions are easy to follow, very good for people with no GIS and QGIS background Firstly, this course is the perfect one for beginners in GIS and Remote Sensing.
One of the nice things about this course is that it/QGis is OS agnostic so it's easy to follow along.
Helpful course that was easy to follow.
Ardit's examples are easy to follow and each step makes sense.
This course in QGIS is excellent and easy to follow, and I would go out of my way to find other courses by this instructor.
The instructor is good at getting right to the point with his explanations, which are easy to follow.
Veryclearandeasytofollow!ThankyouArdit The lessons were mostly well-organized; I think the first section would have made more sense being placed after the second lecture, but otherwise the videos were easy to follow.

feel like
I feel like this is for fast progress!
I feel like at this point things were explained well and the context around why you would want to pursue such analysis is clear i really wanted to learn qgis and GIS in general, i am getting the hang of it due to this course I knew what GIS was, but didn't know the concepts.
I feel like I have a good understanding of what GIS is, and am eager to finish the course.

makes sense
Presentation makes sense, but could always use a glossary.
He is covering a lot of stuff and in an order that makes sense.
too fast
It is a very good basis to start working on GIS projects Very high level overview but the instructor goes too fast so hard to follow.
I need to adjust the volume (significantly) between successive lessons Everything is very clear, but sometimes a little too fast.

follow along
I love the practical nature of the course and the fact that i can follow along on my phone!
The material needs more downloadable shp and data files for us to follow along in our own QGIS programs.
web mapping
However, what I believe a GIS bug did not allow me to enjoy the web mapping experience.
The content was a mixture of GIS, remote sensing, GPS and web mapping.
