The objective of this course is to introduce students to Geographical Information Systems, with an emphasis on how these systems are implemented, how they are used and which are their applications. Thus, the objective is to provide students the capability to use GIS to solve spatial engineering problems, but also the theoretical knowledge needed for the understanding of GIS operation and use.
Basic contents included in the programme documentation:
These basic contents are developed along the course duration following the following structure of theoretical lessons:

Official schedule will be followed in all scenarios. Also, theoretical and practical sessions will be complemented by:
Assessment of students’ performance will be based on two components:
Students are required to achieve a minimum of 4 points (out of 10) in each component and a minimum of 5 points (out of 10) overall to receive a passing grade. A passing grade in one of the components will be retained, at most, for the following academic year.
Written and practical tests will be held in classroom in scenario 1 (adapted normality) and via virtual campus in scenarios 2 and 3. Continuous assessment will take place via virtual campus in any scenario.
Students exempt of attendance to classes will follow the same assessment system.
The USC Normative for Assessment of Academic Performance will be automatically applied if fraud or fabrication of assessment materials is detected.
This course includes 24 hours of theoretical lectures, 24 hours of practical lectures and 3 hours of tutoring. It also implies around 99 hours of personal work.
It is advisable that students have access to a personal computer in order to install the software applications used in class.
Plan de contingencia: tal y como se detalla en los apartados correspondentes de esta guía docente, se contempla que en caso de aplicar el escenario 2 (Distanciamento), la totalidad de la evaluación tendrá lugar a través del campus virtual. En caso de aplicar el escenario 3 (Peche das instalacións), a esto se añadirá que la totalidad de la docencia se realizará mediante videoconferencia, en el horario de clase previsto. La docencia (presencial o por videoconferencia) será complementada, en cualquiera de los escenarios, por las herramientas y recursos disponibles en el campus virtual.
