Evaluation and certificates:

Students who intend to be graded will have to carry out a work that consists of write a Python script to run on desktop QGIS to access data open and solve a problem of georeferenced data analysis proposed by the teacher. The evaluation is performed by: (1) verifying that the script runs without errors and that it provides the expected result; (2) quality of the proposed script (organization, clarity, processing time); (3) individual discussion of the work carried out with the teacher. It is recommended that students use and adapt pieces of proposed code and discussed during the classes for the elaboration of the script.

Students will have access to a training certificate if they participate in 80% of the classes. This certificate will be issued by the Academic Division upon individual request and will be subject to the fees in force. The course coordinator will issue a certificate of attendance to students who request it.
