Homework:

Approximately seven homework assignments will be given in the first half of the semester. Homework assignments will be given on Friday, and will be due one week later. Homework assignments will be accepted up to one class period after the assignment is due: later assignments will not be accepted (unless you have notified me in advance). Graded homeworks will be returned within one week. Extra credit (optional) homework assignments will also be given (a student can receive up to 115% on homework grade). Students are encouraged to work together on and discuss the homeworks, but what you turn in must be your own work.

Term Paper:

Term project/paper will be assigned at mid-term. Students have the option of doing a project that involves use of remote sensing data, or a literature survey. Students who are doing research in remote sensing have the option of presenting a class lecture in the area of their specialty instead of writing a paper (in consultation with instructor).
