Content
The course offers to acquire theoretical and conceptual principles that underpin the use of geographic information systems (GIS), and to learn the use of a GIS software.
- Develop an understanding of the basic principles and functionalities of a geographic information system, including acquisition, storage, and processing of spatial data, spatial analysis methods.
- Master the use of a GIS software (eg ArcView GIS and the "spatial analyst extension").
- Develop the capacity to present and analyse spatial data in a GIS.
Teaching methods
Lectures integrating elements of flipped classroom and presentations by professionals. Practical sessions.
Evaluation methods
Theory: written exam during the session (30%), course activities (continued evaluation and a presentation on geotechnology) (20%); practicals (50%): written practical exam in the session.
Same modalities in the second session. The marks of course activities are attached to each exam session in the academic year.
Succeeding in bothe the practical and theoretic evaluation is indispensable to demostrate the competence and knowledge expected at the issue of the course. Failing either theory or practice will automatically lead to failing the whole unit.
