Although there are no mandatory prerequisites for this exam, students are strongly recommended to take it after Databases.
It is also worth noticing that the topics covered by this course will be used  in Geomatics.

- students must obtain a good ability to use the dedicated software and be able to independently develop a project on the types of exercises in the classroom.

- the student must be able to produce a report in electronic format (* .docx, * .pdf, * .pptx) with which communicate the results obtained from the development of the project realized.

- During the oral exam the student will have to explain, with the appropriate language, the development of the project and the results obtained.

The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it

Teaching

Assessment

Individual project and oral exam.

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.

Teaching

Practical exercises to be carried out independently according to the material provided to show to the teacher.

Attendance
