ACADEMIC CONTENT
Overall objective

The course aims to give students the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies to collect, analyse and disseminate spatial data in both study and work contexts. This includes the ability to translate policy formulated visions to concrete operations. Students should be able to reflect critically to the use of spatial data analysis and their relevance to specific planning issues and problems.

ASSESSMENT
Overall learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students should be able to:

  • Understand the principles behind the visualization and representation of spatial data, and show knowledge of their basic spatial operations

  • Apply knowledge from the course to plan and perform spatial analysis, and to produce relevant visualizations

  • Use spatial analysis tools that include GIS in both study and work contexts

  • Make a critical assessment of the use of spatial technologies in relation to urban planning issues.

Assessment criteria

Write 4-10 assessment criteria that - Are based on the activity’s learning outcomes - further explicated if needed - Covers what is assessed - Are distinctly different - Are separate for the elements of the assessment (written/oral, report/product) - there may be overlapping criteria - Do not add criteria outside the stated learning outcomes - May omit certain learning goals, if difficult to assess - May be weighted for one or more criteria if desired by the teacher (i.e. ”spelling and formulation in the project report/thesis weighs 5/10/15% in the assessment”)

An introductory statement is:

It will be assessed to which degree the student demonstrates

• The ability to deconstruct solutions to spatial problems into relevant spatial operations based on the specified case • The ability do perform and document relevant spatial operations • The ability to make a critical assessment of the use of spatial technologies in relation to the specified case • The ability design relevant visualizations the specified case and target audience • The ability to use GIS to produce visualizations relevant the specified case and target audience

And whether the exam fulfills all formal requirements.”
