| Course abstract | |
| Master students learn to understand the basic concepts and practices of geographic information systems (GIS), to apply organizational skills in file and database management. The course covers GIS analysis to solve geospatial problems and research. The course develops skills to use GIS tools when creating maps, as well as to perform problem analysis using GIS. Examples of the interdisciplinary use of geospatial information in relation to the environment are considered. The course provides a practical insight into solving the problems of protection of geographic information systems. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| As a result of mastering the course students:
•know about geodata management systems and methods, existing risks and methods for their identification (tests); •have skills to create and maintain a geodata management system in the organization in accordance with regulatory enactments and standards, to use basic information protection tools in practice (tests, independent work); •are able to work in a group or to work independently, to use modern methods and tools of geodata management and protection, as well as to convince participants and argue their opinion (tests, independent work). |

| Requirements for awarding credit points | |
| As part of the course, two theoretical tests must be passed with a positive grade and an independent work must be presented. | |
| Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work | |
| The student chooses a topic from the offered current topics (can offer their own topic) and prepares a report (10-15 pages) and a presentation. Both the report and the presentation with a speech are evaluated. | |
| Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes | |
| The final grade of "pass" at the end of the course is made up of two theoretical tests and an assessment of the independent work. | |
