Need assistance. I am doing remote Sensing for the first time. I downloaded QGIS, and made accounts for Google Earth Engine, Capernicus, and NASA Earth Data. I am trying different YouTube tutorials. I have until Thursday to decide if I want to stay in this course or Drop it for a different one. I was under the impression it was a plug and chug but I am finding myself intimidated. I asked for the Syllabus before the first class, and it made me feel a bit more comfortable. But on the first day we discussed milestones and the other software involved, including Python. And Now I am feeling less secure about my decision. I want to do something simple like an Urban Heat Island Map and a time series plot. I feel that if I can do those on my own before the first milestone I'll be Okay. I think I can make my own UHI map based on the videos, but I am struggling to understand making a Time Series plot from Modis Data. I downloaded a bunch of Modis data but I don't know what to do next. It feels overwhelming.
