FOR 504: Advanced Methods in Remote Sensing
Course Summary:
The main aim of this course is to provide you with essential ‘tools’ and ‘tricks of the trade’ to conduct environmental science research in remote sensing. This course will consist of a core set of labs sessions containing useful examples of real processing tasks; and demonstrations and training in field-based remote sensing equipment.
A series of lectures will provide students with the background infromation to further understand the methods used in the lab sessions.

A Note on Plagiarism:
You plagiarize when you use someone else’s words or ideas without giving them credit. All sources of ideas or information must be cited. Anything that is not cited is either so widely known that a citation is unnecessary, or it is your own original thought.
Direct copying (i.e. verbatim) of sentances from web-pages, journal papers, books, etc is a serious example of plagerism.
The University of Idaho and Department of Forest Resources will not tolerate plagiarism. When you plagiarize, you are stealing someone else’s words or ideas. As a student, it is your responsibility to understand what plagiarism is and to how to avoid it.
If you are unsure what plagiarism means, please visit the following web-pages:

If you are caught plagiarising you will be awarded 'zero' points for that part of the class AND your graduate student advisor will be informed of your academic dishonesty.
FYI: Recent news highligths a very bad case of poor sceintific integrity:
