Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

After completing the course, students should be able to apply the theoretical basic knowledge of the lecture in practice. They should be able to apply simple processing, analysis and layout functions using GIS software. This essentially includes the integration of statistical data and their connection with geometry, as well as the cartographic visualisation of the result in the form of area and figure cartograms and publishing webmaps.
Attendance times are mainly used for discussion and interaction. Practical content is partly developed independently by the students using screencasts and tutorials.
The ESRI software ArcGIS Pro is used in the course. Depending on the further course of the pandemic, it may be necessary to install the programme on one's own device. The PC/laptop should ideally be equipped with a Windows operating system (ArcGIS Pro requires such a system, but Windows can be installed on the Mac via Bootcamp, for example).

Assessment and permitted materials

- Attendance is compulsory! Non-attendance at the first session will result in being dropped from the course.
- active cooperation
- timely completion of exercise
- practical test on the PC at the end of the course
- Semester work in small groups (deadline will be announced on the Moodle platform)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The final mark is made up of 10% from the cooperation (attendance, active participation), 30% from the exercises, 30% from the semester project and 30% from the practical test at the end of the course
