Geographic Information Systems 1900-3-SIG-KT
Lectures (GIS) include the following: GIS data models and structures; the concept of map algebra, automation in GIS by learning selected functions in ArcPy(Python); Deep Learning in ArcGIS Pro; introduction to databases; the concept of the planning process in GIS.
Exercises are devoted to the practical application of the elements of knowledge about geographic information systems acquired during the lectures and the practical use of selected GIS software packages (ArcGIS/ArcGIS Pro) for processing spatial data and conducting spatial analysis and visualization of their results. An integral part of the exercises is also the implementation of individual micro-projects (for a grade) involving the acquisition, processing and analysis of spatial data.
(N) - work in direct contact with the teacher,
(S) - student's own (independent) work.
Classes (lecture) = 30h (N)
Classes (exercises) = 15h (N)

Student:
1) knows the advanced concepts of the theory of geographic information
2) understand the basics of spatial data infrastructures and the use of geoinformatics tools
3) selects and applies the optimum method of acquisition, analysis and presentation of spatial data
4) understands the concept of the geographical information system planning process
5) knows the tools to automate GIS processes
Assessment criteria
The final grade consists of a grade on the lecture exam, and a grade on the micro-projects carried out in class. Micro-projects are graded on a point scale from 0 to 5 points. The threshold for passing is 60% of the possible number of points. In the case of a failing grade - a second passing date is possible. Two unexcused absences from class are possible.
