The objective of the theoretical course is to deepen some of the aspects of geographical information analyses that are more specific to geographers.
The objective of the practical exercises is to let the students lead a research project as a team. The project includes all the steps of a typical GIS project, from the conception and data collection to the interpretation of results and conclusions.
Theoretical course:
Practical work:
During the practical part, students analyse a concrete situation for which the use of GIS is essential.
Team work on a societal question requiring the use of GIS.
Written exam (25%) and practical assignment (75%). The practical work is divided in a mid-term intermediate report, a final report and an oral defense of the work. Students will be individually evaluated at the oral defense.
Theoretical and practical parts are two different learning activities. Each part can therefore be validated once the mark of 10/20 is reached. A minimum of 8/20 must be reached for each part in order to validate the teaching unit.
The evaluation in second session consists of a written or oral theoretical exam and a new personal version of the work, improved based on recommendations made following the first version.
