Learning and teaching strategies

Assessment Strategies

  
 

CLO 01:  Students will be able to recognize and explain at basic level fundamental physical principles of remote sensing, including the electromagnetic spectrum; the emission, scattering, reflection, and absorption of electromagnetic (EM) radiation; how EM radiation interactions vary across a limited number of substances, geometries, and temperatures; and geometric properties of photographs and imagery.

Approach in teaching:

Interactive Lectures, Discussion, Tutorials, Reading assignments, Demonstration,

Learning activities for the students:

Self learning assignments, Effective questions, Seminar presentation

Class test, Semester end examinations, Quiz,

Assignments, Presentation, Individual and group projects
