ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	(not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load. view allocation of credits
Language:	Polish
Type of course:	obligatory courses
Prerequisites (description):	The student has a basic knowledge of geological mapping, and computer programs such as Excel, CorelDraw, PhotoShop, etc.
Short description:	Lecture relates to the modern collecting, processing and visualization of geospatial data - virtually all the geological data.
Full description:	Lectures are to introduce students to the scope of the basic concepts and applications of GIS in geology. Training takes place in a computer lab where students are to acquire practical knowledge of computer software used in GIS environment (ArcView, ArcGIS). The ultimate aim of the course is to provide knowledge about GIS in the range that it can in a practical way be exploited in preparation of the thesis by students.

Learning outcomes:	Lecture “Application of spatial information systems (GIS) in geology” is to build (rebuild) awareness of the student towards seeing geological facts as geospatial data. Objects collected in this way will give the order in a relational database, which becomes the basis for processing (sorting or searching) field data and then visualize them. Student by listening to lectures and execution of a set of exercises acquire basic skills in GIS. They are self-sufficient to perform elements of the thesis supported by GIS.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	The assessment of a student is by its activity in the lab and performed exercises.
Practical placement:	(in Polish) brak
