About Leveraging Learning Resources
The purpose of this website is to provide a learning resource by providing my course notes, examples, and useful links. While this site currently serves as a repository for my work, it will, in the future, become a testing and promotion grounds for student research.
Learning philosophy:
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects!" - Robert Heinlein (Time Enough for Love 1973)
Professional philosophy:
"Skilled cartographers not only will have mastered the principles of mapmaking but also will have a firm grasp of environmnetal sciences, understand the cognaitive processes of thought and communication, and be familiar with the other mapping sciences, such as geodesy, surveying, photogrammetry, remote sensing, and geographic information systems." - Arthur Robinson (Elements of Cartography 1996)
Classroom philsophy:
"...an old definition of lecture method of classroom instruction: a process by which the contents of the textbook of the instructor are transferred to the notebook of the student without passing through the heads of either party." Darrel Huff (How to Lie with Statistics 1954)
