| Students will implement well-established human and natural models in areas such as hydrology, deforestation, dengue disease propagation, spatial seggregation, and urban dynamics. The course will also investigate the assumptions, results, and conclusions of these models. Laboratory exercises and a final project will be used to grade students. | Students will implement well-established human and natural models in areas such as hydrology, deforestation, dengue disease propagation, spatial seggregation, and urban dynamics.

| - | ====== Class hours ====== | ||
| - | Classes will be from 9.00 to 12.00am every weekday. I will introduce programming and modelling theory in the first two hours (9.00-11.00) and fill the last hour with pratices (11.00-12.00). | ||

| Students are expected to complete most of their workload outside formal contact hours through personal study, reading and assignments. They must be prepared for 4.5 hours per day of extra-class activities. This way, the overall course workload will sum 150 hours, e. g., 60h of contact classes and 90h of extra-class studies. | Students are expected to complete most of their workload outside formal contact hours through personal study, reading and assignments.
