Objectives

 

To teach the theoretical and pratical knowledge required to deal with geospatial data, in terms of thei acquisition, structuring, manipulation, query and analysis in a GIS.

Learning outcomes and competences

 

At the end of the course students will know the methods for GIS data collection, their structuring, validation and representation. They will also be able to carry operations of GIS data analysis, both in vector and raster domains.

Working method

Presencial

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

 

Basic knowledge of map reading.

Eligibility for exams

 

75% of presences. Practical performance (P) – minimum 40% (8/20).

Calculation formula of final grade

 

Final classification (F) is obtained by: F = 0.6*E + 0.4*P

E - clasification of written exam

P - assessment of the practical lectures

 

Minimum of 40% (8 in 20) in both components.

Students with classification above 80% (16 in 20) may have an extra oral exam.
