 |
|
 |  | Environmental data processing - statistical and mathematical tools |

 |
 | General knowledge of parametric statistics and of computer use. |
|
 |
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
 |
|
 |  | Environmental data processing - statistical and mathematical tools |

 |
 | A whole day in the computer room on the basis of practical cases introduced during the course.
Another whole day in the computer room on the basis of a practical case proposed for evaluation purpose. |
|
 |
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
 |
|
 |  | Environmental data processing - statistical and mathematical tools |

 |
 | The lecture is given in modules covering each a half-day of 4 hours (1 credit=3 half-days), in a class room and with on-line and real-time use of processing tools. The practical part is achieved by the students with the same tools in the computer room. |
