Learning outcomes
The course builds on the Geographic Information Systems I course and expands and deepens students' knowledge and skills in the field of GIS, particularly with regard to the anticipated focus of their bachelor's thesis. During the course, students will become familiar with advanced tools (extensions) for spatial data analysis within the ESRI ArcGIS software environment. The course in finalized by a semester project, through which students demonstrate their acquired knowledge and skills in the principles of advanced spatial data analysis.
The course builds upon the knowledge and skills acquired in GIS I. In the follow-up course GIS II, students will develop competencies in the analytical aspects of working with GIS. Students will be able to: (a) assess the quality of input data, and (b) critically evaluate data processing options that lead to new informational outputs. The course is intended to equip students with the ability to independently solve problems within the GIS framework.
