Basic skills in GIS and Programming.

The geologic database is a special organization of data and contains the evidence needed to make many strategic decisions, including the primary data used to estimate resources and reserves. Building and maintaining a good geological database requires careful planning. Geologists, exploration managers, or database administrators are responsible for collecting large amounts of data that will help improve productivity and efficiency. The course introduces the basics of designing geodatabase structures, the principles of optimization and testing. Students acquire practical skills in maintaining and validating geological databases to ensure their physical and logical integrity, for further data analysis. Familiarity with building geodatabases in GIS by using Python.

Lectures, practical classes, consultations, self-work. Teaching methods are explanatory-illustrative, research, part-search and heuristic.

Control is carried out according to the modular rating system and provides for: passing 5 practical classes (where students must demonstrate the quality of the acquired knowledge and solve the tasks set using the methods outlined by the teacher) and solving the tasks without limiting the tools and techniques of solving the problem) and passed 2 written tests. The final grading is carried out in the form of a written Exam. Scheme of grading 1. Semester grading: 1) Module 1 - 10 points (passing grade is 6 points) 2) Module 2 - 10 points (passing grade is 6 points) 3) Grading for work at practical classes - 40 points (passing grade is 24 points) 2. Final examination in the form of the written test: maximum grade is 40 points, and the passing grade is 24 points. Results of educational activity of students grading are based on a 100 grading scale.
