**Class is cancelled today (Thursday, Oct 18th)**
Sorry about this but sickness has struck my house again. Please help spread the word to your classmates (don't want them to miss this notice).
Please use today to work on Lab 6 (Proportional Symbols). One note: if you are using a dataset that has no data for a few counties, you need to find a subtle way to inform the map reader. One technique is to make a note in the legend (if it is just a county or two, you can specify by name the counties without data). Another approach is to give those counties a slightly different fill (again...keep it subtle). This doesn't work well with choropleth maps, but can be used with a Proportional Symbol maps. Baltimore City may be an issue with some datasets....you can choose either of the above methods if needed.
Exam and Lab 5 scores will be posted on Blackboard when ready. I will send out an email as a head's up.
If you have any questions, please ask! I am happy to give you feedback on your map (just be a bit patient...).
