Digital Teaching
The course (in English!) will be held hybrid: the lecturer will be at the TU and the possibility will be given to students to follow the lecture online.

The communication of all information and changes as well as materials for the lecture takes place via the Moodlekurs, which is activated shortly before the start of the lecture and to which all participants are automatically added.

Further Grading Information
[b]Qualification goals / learning outcomes of the module[/b]
After students have attended the course, they:
[list]
[*]master basic functions of GIS,
[*]may support projects of urban development with GIS techniques from the beginning of data acquisition, processing, analysing and visualization
[*]have the ability to weigh up different solutions, to explain them objectively and understandably, to make and justify decisions,
[*]can also use GIS for more advanced tasks in urban development and planning such as spatial analysis, catchment area analysis, network analysis, overlaying, etc
