Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This course aims to introduce students to both theory and application of GIS (Geographical Information Systems) in the humanities. The primary focus of this will be the use of GIS for historical research, but given the diversity of geospatial methods, there is value for students of any humanities discipline. The course will have both theoretical and workshop components. Through a mixture of case studies and hands-on work, by the end of the course students will be able to create, analyze, and display their own geospatial data. Students will also be able to critically assess other research that takes a geospatial approach.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Homework and class participation are important, but a significant portion of the final grade will be based upon the successful completion and presentation of an individual final project.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The final mark will be a combination of in-class participation (20%), homework assignments (30%), and a paired final project (50%). Specific criteria for the final project will be given in the course Moodle.

Examination Topics
At the end of this course, students will have both theoretical and practical knowledge of GIS. They will have a conceptual grasp of geospatial history and an understanding of what constitutes a worthwhile GIS project. They will also have more concrete skills:Finding, evaluating, and importing geospatial data
Making new geospatial datasets
Working with layers and styling in QGIS, including creating heat maps
Calculating viewsheds, least cost paths, slopes, and inclines in QGIS
