unspecified, Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Work with text (with textbook, with book), Methods of individual activities
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the theoretical foundations of advanced spatial analysis methods and the possibilities of their use.
The student will be able to appropriately apply advanced methods of spatial analysis and visualization of data representing spatial phenomena and objects when solving spatially oriented problems.
Prerequisites
unspecified
