Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures and laboratory classes, self-study
Assessment methods and criteria
1. Semester evaluation: - control work on the basics of geographic information systems -15 points (milestone score 9 points). - control work on the basics of spatial analysis - 15 points (milestone score 9 points). - assessment for work in laboratory classes - 30 points (a milestone score of 18 points). 2. Final grade in the form of an exam: maximum grade 40 points (terminal grade 24 points). During the exam, the student performs the implementation of the project using knowledge and skills in the basics of geoinformation systems in geosciences. The results of students' learning activities are evaluated on a 100-point scale.
