Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Basics of physics and mathematics

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Theory

• 24 hours of lectures

• 24 hours of practical work on computer to be done in autonomy based on manuals, but with the support of a resource person through Q&A sessions, emails, teleconference. Mainly with the reference open source GIS software QGIS (https://www.qgis.org/fr/site/).

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Theory

• Lectures in classroom

• Practical work on computer based on manuals

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

Course will be in face to face mode as far as it will be authorized. It will switch to distance learning when it will be imposed. LifeSize will be used and course will be recorded.        

Recommended or required readings

Theory

• Powerpoint presentations
• Papers and book references and internet sites adresses

• Remote sensing: a part of the manuals available here: https://orbi.uliege.be/handle/2268/240835 et https://orbi.uliege.be/handle/2268/143553 (under revision)

Assessment methods and criteria

Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.

Any session :

- In-person

written exam ( open-ended questions )

- Remote

oral exam

- If evaluation in "hybrid"
