Triggered by remarks of our students we printed some Earth ObserveR stickers reflecting the amount of coding in our courses on remote sensing using R. It is a great environment for learning how to code in the spatial domain, learn classifications, data processing or plotting of remote sensing data using among others the RStoolbox R package or exploring the huge diversity of statistical functions within R and its packages for more sophisticated modelling approaches. Our students love these stickers even though they are also doing spatial data analysis in python or other software packages but went through quite some courses on remote sensing using R only.
Rethinking Examinations in Remote Sensing Education: From Presentations to Peer Code Review
At EAGLE, we recently experimented with a different examination format for our Earth Observation (EO) courses: one that focuses less on presentations and more on building reusable scientific software. Instead of giving a final talk, each student had to develop a...
