Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basics of practical cartography, including procedures that will lead to the creation of a basic map reflecting a specific spatial phenomenon in a historical context. Emphasis is placed on the typology of sources and the procedures for excerpting data as a basis for map production. Attention is also given to map-making software and procedures for creating cartographic output.
The graduate demonstrates knowledge of the basic milestones in the development of cartography as a science. The student will understand the basics of creating maps with historical content and be familiar with the essential software for creating basic cartographic output. The student will be familiar with the programming environment and be proficient with the various components and processes leading to digital map output.
