Teaching method

Three methods area used:
a) Sessions with theoretical exposition with simultaneous practice of intensive computacional applications (exercises);
b) Session tracking the various stages of developing a project in Remote Sensing and GIS;
c) Forum on e-learning system.
In class teaching.

 

Evaluation method

Evaluation Method - Conducting exercises directed to the project(30%), Development of a project to solve a problem(70%)
