Course goals
Please note: the information in the course manual is binding.
The student will be able to:
- Demonstrate practical experience in basic methods and techniques for geo-data handling
- Show awareness of the influence of data quality aspects on the outcomes of the GI application project
- Show practical experiences with integrated software handling
- Demonstrate the practical integration and application of knowledge of module 1 (basic methods and techniques) into a GI application project
- Integrate existing scientific knowledge into a case-study oriented GI-project
- Demonstrate a critical methodological and ethical attitude concerning geo-data handling in practical situations
Final attainment level:
At the end of module 2 participants are able to properly prepare, plan and execute a scientific-oriented GI application project and present orally and in writing the results of their projects with a critical awareness of relevant data quality and ethical aspects and of appropriate methodological and visualization issues.

Content
Rationale
- The course is meant to apply the acquired knowledge of module 1 (GEO4-GIMA1), by carrying out a project in an academic/scientific fashion.
- The course serves as an introduction to the later Module 6, where similar up-scale and enhanced projects have to be performed.
Contents
During the first days the participants will be introduced to different types of projects and the datasets needed in them. Issues like data handling and data quality and ethics will be dealt with, as well as methodological reflexion. Thereafter the students will work groupwise on a project. Therein the participants are not only asked to work on their own project but they will also be involved in monitoring and evaluating the progress and results of a counter group.
Students will work in groups of 3 persons and select their project from a range of different cases that will be presented at the start of the course.
