**__Instruction for the exam__**: The exam will consist of a combination of general concept questions and short, specific questions. The questions may span the entire course content, testing your understanding of the key topics. Additionally, we will present a problem and ask you to work through the reasoning process for its solution. You will then be required to implement the solution by writing Python code "live", similar to the approach we used in the practical sessions during the course. During this part of the exam, you will be able to use resources such as Google and ChatGPT to assist with coding, reflecting the collaborative and problem-solving nature of the course. 

__No lesson__ on November 21st and 22nd

**APPELLI**: The dates of the exams are the following (remember to register for the appello in time):
  * January 16th, 14:00
  * February 7th, 09:00

__No lesson__ on October 31st;
 
__No lessons__ on October 10 and 11 (because of the evento "Orientamento studenti")

====== Learning goals ======

The analysis of geographic information, such as those describing human movements, is crucial due to its impact on several aspects of our society, such as disease spreading (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic), urban planning, well-being, pollution, and more. This course will teach the fundamental concepts and techniques underlying the analysis of geographic and mobility data, presenting data sources (e.g., mobile phone records, GPS traces, geotagged social media posts), data preprocessing techniques, statistical patterns, predicting and generative algorithms, and real-world applications (e.g., diffusion of epidemics, socio-demographics, link prediction in social networks). The course will also provide a practical perspective through the use of advanced geoanalytics Python libraries. 

The assessment of the course consists of an oral exam, aimed to test the knowledge acquired by the student during the course.

  * Spatial Reference Systems
  * Data formats
  * Trajectory and Flows
  * Spatial Tessellations
