Learning unit contents
The project is composed of 3 parts, each one supervised by one of the course responsibles. Themes, methodological approaches or concepts treated can vary as a function of the selected study sites, or as a function of educational or scientific opportunities or constraints.
The project aims to stimulate students to take initiatives and to reinforce their capacities to work in groups; moreover, it is developed to offer opportunities to the students to apply and integrate the theoretical concepts of their courses.
The central theme of this project is TO ECOSYSTEME.
The theme of this year is "LE BOIS DES REVES".
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Students are able to integrate different methods and types of information with regard to landscape analysis, landscape perception, and spatial planning. Students are able to work in groups and to formulate development options for a particular site. Students are able to take initiatives to collect information on a particular site, to interpret different information types and to apply new methods or techniques explained during the courses. Students understand the differences between urban and rural environments and understand how to express them (quantitatively). Students are able to perceive and analyze landscapes on a structured and objective base.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Project block 1 and block 2
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Every exercise is preceded by an introduction prepared by the principal supervisor of that exercise. Field excursions and visits can be a part of the educational approach. Activities are group projects or individual projects; this is determined by the type of exercise. Main activities consist of (spatial) data collection, data integration and data interpretation; different types of data are dealt with; the objective is to obtain an interpretation of the (meta)data. Group and student autonomy is encouraged. Activities may change as a function of scientific, practical or educational constraints or opportunities.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Autonomous work (by groupe or individually) supervised during the weekly sessions. One session every week, an entire day.
Recommended or required readings
Useful lectures will be communicated during the sessions.
Assessment methods and criteria
Every exercise is graded by a competent jury (ad hoc composition). Evaluation criteria and evaluation procedures are communicated beforehand by the supervisor of the exercise. The eventual organization of a second session will be communicated later.
Work placement(s)
None
Organizational remarks
Weekly sessions. 1 day/week. The presence of the students is necessary for the educational strategy.
