Bridging Courses
Although there are no mandatory prerequisites for this exam, students are strongly recommended to take it after Integrated Geographical Databases.
Supporting Activities
Workshop and field trips.
Teaching, Attendance, Course Books and Assessment
- Teaching
Theory lectures, practical laboratory, both face-to-face and on-line, and field work.
- Attendance
Although recommended, course attendance is not mandatory.
- Course books
- Teaching overheads
- "Quantum GIS" [URL]
- "BeeGIS" [URL]
- "Il GPS per il Mapping GIS" [URL]
- Assessment
Individual project and oral exam.
The topic of the individual project has to be agreed with the instructor and it has to be delivered 7 days before examinations. The oral exam consists of a discussion on the project.
The final assesment will be determined by arithmetical mean by grade of the project and examination.
- Disability and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)
Students who have registered their disability certification or SLD certification with the Inclusion and Right to Study Office can request to use conceptual maps (for keywords) during exams.
To this end, it is necessary to send the maps, two weeks before the exam date, to the course instructor, who will verify their compliance with the university guidelines and may request modifications.
Additional Information for Non-Attending Students
- Teaching
Not-attending students could ask for teaching overheads and a personal colloquy.
