IT 338 Scripting Project Seven Guidelines and RubricOverview: In this course, you will be responsible for completing seven scripting projects. Learning to program in Python requires developing an understanding ofgeneral programming concepts and learning the syntax of the Python programming language. These scripting projects will build on each other and help youcultivate your Python scripting knowledge. It is recommended that you do not limit your practice to just that which is graded. The more you write your ownscripts, the more proficient you will become with the tools available to you in Python and ArcGIS.Prompt: You are a newly hired GIS technician for a mapping consultancy group. You have been given the task to create general maps showing roads, streams,and towns for every county in Virginia. (There are a lot of counties). Write a Python script to alter the existing MXD to make a map for each county and exportthat map to a PDF.The data files for this scripting project can be downloaded here.Your submission should include your Python script complete with a brief description of the file in a commented ‘header’ section.The following critical elements should be addressed in your project submission:I. Code Description: A brief explanation of the code and a brief discussion of any issues that you encountered while completing the exercise. II. Functioning Script: A script must meet its specifications and behave as desired. To develop proper code, you should produce fully functioning code(produces no errors) that aligns with accompanying annotations. You should write your script in such a way that the submitted code actually executes,even if it does not produce the correct output. You will be given credit for partially correct output that can actually be viewed and seen to be partiallycorrect. III. Script Results: Properly generated results dictate that your script:a. Generates accurate output; andb. Produces results are streamlined, efficient, and error-free. IV. Annotation/Documentation: All code should also be well-commented. This is a practiced ‘art’ that requires striking a balance between commentingeverything, which adds a great deal of unneeded noise to the code, and commenting nothing. Well-annotated code requires you to:a. Explain the purpose of lines or sections of your code detailing the approach and method the programmer took to achieve a specific task in thecode;b. Document any section of code that is producing errors or incorrect results. V. Style and Structure: Part of the lesson to be learned in this course is how to write code that is clearly readable and formatted in an organized manner.To achieve this, you should:a. Develop logically organized code that can be modified and maintained; b. Utilize proper syntax, style, and language conventions/best practices.Guidelines for Submission: For each exercise, include the Python file (xxx.py) containing code that should start with a header comment containing a title (name,course, date, project number) and a discussion of the code.Instructor Feedback: This activity uses an integrated rubric in Blackboard. Students can view instructor feedback in the Grade Center.
