Objectives
The objectives for this course include both content and skills of geoinformatics to modeling and analysis of the natural and built phenomena of the environment. Upon completion of this course, students will understand the structure of and be able to design and execute basic GIS analysis projects. In practice, students will be able to collect and assess location based geographic data, organize and store that data, perform basic analysis functions on that data and design effective models to represent built-up and natural environmental phenomena. The course will cover the whole GIS production process from data acquisition to editing, analysis, and visualiza-tion. The course itself is divided into two equally important parts: lectures, which introduce the theory of geoin-formatics, and lab exercises, which help you to familiarize yourself with many aspects of the standardizes GIS software environment. The lectures discuss concepts, data, tools, and major aspects of assignments. The labora-tory sessions introduce the geospatial data and software tools needed for accomplishing the assignments.

General Rules
Assessment of the learning outcomes described under 2.2. shall be based on mid-term grading.
Performance evaluation methods
Detailed description of assesments during the term: Students shall submit three lab assignments and one complex project reflecting their knowledge and skills.
Proportion of performance evaluations performed during the diligence period in the rating
- Lab practice: 30%
- Written assignment: 30%
- Semester test: 40%
- total: 100%
Proportion of examination elements in the rating
- :
The condition for obtaining the signature, validity of the signature
Written assignments shall be assessed on a scale of 100, through assigning point scores. The sum of the scores shall serve as the basis for determining the final grade. The final grade shall be determined according to the table below.
Grading
% | |
---|---|
Excellent | 90-100-100 |
Very good | 80-89 |
Good | 70-79 |
Satisfactory | 60-69 |
Pass | 50-59 |
Fail | < 50 |
Correction and retake
Retakes and make-ups are regulated by the university’s Code on Education and Examination. (1) Of the three lab assessments, cannot be retake. (2) These may be made up for or improved on one count, during the make up period. In case of re-submission or late submission, the new score will overwrite any previous scores obtained. (3) Should the student fail to obtain a passing grade as specified in (2), they may once again re-submit one written assignment, which will be evaluated for a fee.
