| Language: | Polish |
| Type of course: | elective courses |
| Prerequisites (description): | Students should have basic knowledge related to hydrogeology and elements of cartography. Student should participate in every classes. Three excused absences are allowed provided the student completes the unaccomplished work on their own. |
| Short description: |
During the course, students have the opportunity to use the most modern and most commonly used ArcGIS 10 software from ESRI, the market leader. Students learn issues related to: reference systems used in hydrogeological cartography, introduction, processing and ways to visualize vector, raster and numerical data, creating and using databases, setting up a project topology, data exchange between various GIS software, spatial analysis (including 3D). |
| Full description: |
The subject of the exercises is to familiarize students with the ArcGIS 10 software and learn how to use this software in practice by: - free use of existing data in the GIS environment - generating, entering and processing own data in the form of files saved in vector formats (point, line and polygon), raster and numerical formats - ways of presenting output data (creating a resulting map composition with all necessary cartographic elements) - design, generation and effective use of own environmental databases - performing own spatial analysis projects in the GIS environment using elements of topology, knowledge of the reference system. |

| Learning outcomes: |
After completing the practical course, students work freely in the GIS environment. They can find (eg on the Internet) and use for their own purposes hydrogeological data and other spatial data, including those obtained through other GIS applications. They recognize the reference system in which the data is presented. They correctly perform spatial analyzes using, among others, manually entered data and the results of the analysis are able to present in a correct and effective manner, taking into account cartographic requirements. They can correctly design and create a spatial database. |
| Assessment methods and assessment criteria: |
Student should participate in every classes. Three excused absences are allowed provided the student completes the unaccomplished work on their own. Projects are evaluated according to the pre-defined criteria (they must contain the necessary elements to verify the knowledge of the issues raised in the practical). In the case of retake test, the student corrects all unsuccessful projects. They are subject to re-evaluation. |
