There is no prerequisites in this course.
Space Analysis and Models is taught in the third course in the Degree Geografia, Medi Ambient y Planificació Territorial.
The objectives are:
BLOCK 1. Introduction to modeling and the scientific method
BLOCK 2. Theory of Networks
BLOCK 3. Interaction Models
BLOCK 4. Allocation Models
BLOCK 5. Linear Programming and Simplex Method
BLOCK 6. Transport Models
BLOCK 7. Localization Model - Assignment (L - A)
The methodology and evaluation proposed in this guide may undergo some modification depending on the restrictions on attendance imposed by the health authorities.
The subject is structured from supervised and autonomous supervised activities where the student will learn to develop interactively in the contents of the subject with the support of the teaching staff, at different levels.
The contents of the subject will be developed through the following activities:
The practical activity is structured in two axes:
In the different examples gender aspects will be taken into account.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|
Type: Directed | |||
Master classes and exercices | 47 | 1.88 | 2, 3 |
Type: Supervised | |||
Supervision of exercices and course work | 20 | 0.8 | 1, 3 |
Type: Autonomous | |||

The assesment activities are the following:
1 - Theoretical and practical exam to evaluate the contents. It consists of two partial examinations with a duration of one hour and a half each with a weight of 40% of the note.
Assessment of the exam: From the theoretical part the relevance of the answer will be assessed, the degree of knowledge being obtained on the subject. And, in the practical part, the approach, resolution and interpretation of the results will be assessed separately, as well as the correct execution of the calculations. To pass the exam you must have a 5 on each part of the exam.
2 - The practical part, will be carried out in group, the activities will be delivered during the semester:
2.1 - Individual assessment practices with a weight of 20% of the mark.
2.2 - Course work with a weight of 40% of the mark.
Assessment of the practices: The formal aspects, the correct calculation of the indicators (as long as this is the objective of the practice), the adequate realization of a structured analysis on the results obtained, the interpretation of the results, in the case Specific of the analyzes of the texts will be especially valued the capacity to extract and exhibit the most relevant information and relate it to the contents of the subject.
Assessment of the course work: The formal aspects, the approach of the objectives, the problem and the models used for an improvement in the planning of the services, the definition of the analysis variables, the resolution of the results, discussion, conclusions and oral presentation in class.
Continuous assessment makes the delivery of all learning activities mandatory to be able to complete the course.
The practices delivered after the date fixed by the calendar will have a maximum score of 5.
In order to take part in the examination it is necessary to have delivered all the practices.
Those who do not reach 70% of activities will have a non-valuable.
PLAGIARISM
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
RE-EVALUATION
Only people who have given ALL the evidences of the practical part (practices and course work) can only be submitted to the recovery. Recovery is for those parts of the exam that are suspended. The course exercicis can be re-evaluated in case that the average will be lower than 5.
NOTE
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Course exercices | 35% | 15 | 0.6 | 2, 3 |
Course work | 25% | 10 | 0.4 | 1, 2, 3 |
Exam | 40% | 3 | 0.12 | 3 |
