The first GIS assignment in our introductory course was an easy one designed to familiarize the class with the basics of working with data in ArcGIS. This lab was basically a review for me, as I worked with ArcGIS as an undergrad, but it's nice to have a little refresher since I've been away from it for a few years now, and nice to know that I am starting to remember what I learned now that I've seen the program again! (I'm actually a little annoyed that we didn't go into changing the settings for the legend and breaking up the population data in a way that makes more sense, but I know for anyone seeing ArcMap for the first time this week, this was probably already an overload of information.)
In any case, here is the map I produced following the lab instructions, which shows the countries of the world according to their population sizes--the darker the color, the higher the population (as of 2007, the data we were using).
