Course Information

  • The course consists of 6 labs. Each lab consists of several tutorials and an assignment.
  • After doing every lab, students are expected to write and send a report (to lucie.smetanova@liu.se ), using this template.
  • All labs are graded Pass or Fail.
  • Students are allowed and encouraged to work in groups and help each other. Nevertheless, each work should be individual, group submissions are not permitted.
  • Students are encouraged to search information online and try different tools and options in order to succeed with the assignments.
  • Students are encouraged to experiment with QGIS, alter the assignments (to something more challenging) and take necessary adjustments in order to make maps more visually appealing or informative.
  • Any additional work (such as, e.g., additional analysis, use of additional sources of geographical information, etc.) is highly encouraged and will result in a better grade for this part of the course.
  • The work should be done in QGIS. The tutorials were tested in QGIS version 3.4.

Make-up assignment

In order to cancel the late submission's penalty students can do one of the following (one make-up per missed deadline):

  • Propose an improvement to one of the tutorials or assignments (fix outdated information, provide better pictures or explanations, fix wording, add new steps, improve data files, etc.). Let's make the course better together!
  • Measure and report to the teacher exact time spent on every tutorial and the assignment of one of the labs (you can choose any lab).
  • Do something interesting in QGIS. Not necessarily a complete work: explore and experiment with a new tool not mentioned in the labs, try some features, find and do a part of some interesting tutorial, etc.
