The course is designed so that the data for exercises can go either in the root (or other)
folder of a stand-alone PC, or in the file structure of a network. It would be best to put all
of the folders in the same location on disk. The folder IGIS-Arc requires about 816 MB
and IGIS-Arc_AUX takes up about 24 MB. The total disk storage requirement, when you
add the Color_Figures folder and the other folders (which require minimal disk space), is
about a gigabyte. Of course, each student with a book has access to the data on the
DVD, so presumably a course could be run with little impact on any computers disk
storage except for the data the student creates in running the exercises.
The Student Companion website www.wiley.com/go/kennedygis is available at the
Wiley Higher Education Site. There the student will find learning resources, including text
versions of FastFactsFile_Checklists (the last exercise in each chapter, verbatim, which
helps students complete their Fast Facts Files). Please encourage your students to (a)
always open their Fast Facts File when starting an exercise, (b) make use of the Color
Figures and (c) find and visit the Student Companion website.
