List the variables used in the symbolization of map data for visual, tactile, haptic, auditory, and dynamic displays
Select effective symbols for map features based on the dimensionality and attributes of the geographic phenomena being mapped
Design map symbols with sufficient contrast to be distinguishable by typical users
Illustrate how a single geographic feature can be represented by various graphic primitives (e.g., land surface as a set of elevation points, as contour lines, as hypsometric layers or tints, and as a hillshaded surface)
Identify the visual variables (e.g., size, lightness, shape, hue) and graphic primitives (points, lines, areas) commonly used in maps to represent various geographic features at all attribute measurement levels (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio)
Describe the design considerations for each of the following methods: choropleth, dasymetric, proportioned symbol, graduated symbol, isoline, dot, cartogram, and flow map
Evaluate the strengths and limitations of each of the following methods: choropleth, dasymetric, proportioned symbol, graduated symbol, isoline, dot, cartogram, and flow map
Explain why choropleth maps should (almost) never be used for mapping count data and suggest alternative methods for mapping count data
Choose suitable mapping methods for each attribute of a given type of feature in a GIS (e.g., roads with various attributes such as surface type, traffic flow, number of lanes, direction such as one-way)
Select base information suited to providing a frame of reference for thematic map symbols (e.g., network of major roads and state boundaries underlying national population map)
Create maps using each of the following methods: choropleth, dasymetric, proportioned symbol, graduated symbol, isoline, dot, cartogram, and flow
Create well-designed legends using the appropriate conventions for the following methods: choropleth, dasymetric, proportioned symbol, graduated symbol, isoline, dot, cartogram, and flow
