Learning method
INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR GEO-INFORMATION SCIENCE AND EARTH OBSERVATION
On the way to independent research Block 1 : lectures
passive lecturer
Block 2 : lectures and projects Block 3 : Independent learning Block 4 : Independent research
active
tutor
Independent learning You learn better by 'doing' than by 'listening' (active instead of passive). You have to try to sort problems out yourself before asking for help. If you ask for help, you have to formulate your questions well. Self-responsibility: You can manage your own time (but you cannot be lazy...)
Independent learning Short introductions to the topics covered in this module Scheduled discussion hours for questions and feedback Self study of selected items of the book “Imaging Spectrometry” Do assignments and create reports Communicate with fellow students and lecturers as equals (“tutors”)
Usage of Blackboard Module Information Timetable
Module materials Literature Assignments & Feedback Online exam
Communication Announcements Discussion board
Getting started 1.Check for announcements in Blackboard 2.Follow the schedule posted in Blackboard 3.Download the assignment of the session indicated in the schedule 4.Read the book pages indicated, read the assignment, and read additional lecture materials if needed 5.Do the assignment and write a report 6.Hand over the report via Blackboard
Assignments Exercises are given with every session A list of deliverables are given with each session Create a short report 1 – 2 pages Figures and text as requested In PDF format
Upload the report via assignment page in Blackboard
Feedback Standardized feedback is given after the deadline of the sessions has passed Personal feedback is added via the Grade center in Blackboard Best is to get feedback while you work, so use the discussion board and discussion hours
Grading Your mark for this course will be based on Completing assignments (50%) An online exam (50%) The exam is based on theory from the book (sessions 2-7) and on contents of the exercises
