    About the Course

    In this capstone course, you will apply everything you have learned by designing and then completing your own GIS project. You will plan out
    your project by writing a brief proposal that explains what you plan to do and why. You will then find data for a topic and location of your choice,
    and perform analysis and create maps that allow you to try out different tools and data sets. The results of your work will be assembled into an
    Esri story map, which is a web site with maps, images, text, and video. The goal is for you to have a finished product that you can share, and
    that demonstrates what you have learned. Note: software is not provided for this course.

    Absolutely fantastic course! It is a very helpful course for creating maps and using them to solve real world problems. Quite demanding course but worth a while!

    I loved the specialization. But the capstone was the least interesting part of this whole course.

    In this module you will have to work with Arc Story map. It is an interesting tool but I was not particularly interested in it since I work with dataviz on Tableau and Python already.

    And you will have to watch Esri videos to be acquainted with the tool since there isn't any explanation on the tool itself here.

    You enroll to this capstone, propose a project then execute a story map. And that's it. But i have to add that the capstone did not interfere with the happiness that I had working with the other three courses.

    This is my first time completing a specialization after several tries. Professor Boyes did a good job making it both educating and fun. He explains basic fundamental knowledge and does not assume you already know. He really deserves commendation for the great work done. I have been reinvigorated to learn more on GIS and I really want to further my studies with GIS in the equation or if the chance be, GIS fully.

    Give a try if you are new to GIS and feel you need to start from scratch. If you have some basic knowledge already, get prepared to unveil the mystery behind the GIS practices you did not know already

    Hands down an excellent course!!, I've completed all 4 courses in the specialization and definetly learnt so much from Don. I would suggest some links to download data from course 2 because at the beginning I was not able to find anything after spending several hours searching finally was able to get my data, moreover the peer graded assignments would be nice if the staff grade them, because during all courses I've received feedback the next day I submitted it and in other course I received it after 7 days.

    A great course if you are learning GIS from scratch! This course provides an easy to grasp introduction to GIS concepts, before diving through the ArcGIS software. Also, the course activities are applicable with ArcGIS Pro, even though the lectures are demonstrated using ArcMap.

    found i had difficulty in finding proper data to use, some of which did not exist. Spent many hours to compile that data to include in project (some digitizing to create unavailable data)

    Great course, found that I needed to review past lessons to remember the procedure.

    One of the best courses I have encountered for GIS. As a capstone project, it helps you to create and analyze GIS data and present that to a vast audience. I have learned a lot from Don Boyes. He is one of the best instructors I had in my academic career.

    Very useful to complement the work of the previous courses that are part of the specialization. I wasn't familiar with the ArcGIS StoryMaps tool and it's powerful to present information dynamically. Thanks for all the learnings!
