The weekly and summary bibliography
Each graduate student is expected to review 10 GIS application articles and develop an annotated bibliography for each article. The 10 articles should cover one topic of student's interest. The bibliography should briefly describe (1) the reference of the article, (2) the purpose of the study, (3) the data used for the study, and (4) the GIS analysis used for the study. The weekly bibliography is due on Thursdays.

The weekly bibliography should be typed in less than one double-spaced page. Each bibliography will be given a maximum of 10 points. Graduate students are required to give a short presentation at the end of the semester to summarize the 10 articles reviewed. The bibliographies account for 10% of the total grade for graduate students.
