Grading the Final Report

The following grading scheme will be used to assess your report:

  • Introduction (5 marks)

    • A brief introduction to the problem.
  • Methods (20 marks)

    • Describe the data and the study site.
    • Description of the analysis approach.
    • Include the Python script that you used to help document your approach the the change detection analysis.
    • Be sure to use at least two different change detection approaches.
    • Describe the approaches that you used to address the problem. For example, what pre-processing techniques (e.g. radiometric calibration), if any, did you need use (and you will need to use some, believe me!)? Did you use pre- or post-classification approaches, or perhaps a combination of both? In other words, exactly what techniques did you select?
    • Be sure to provide justifications for the approaches that you chose.
  • Results – Graphics (10 marks)

    • Results of analysis (images, maps, graphs, and/or tables where relevant).
  • Results – Documentation (20 marks)

    • Interpretation of results.
    • Statement of limitations of your results (i.e. because of limitations of your methodology).
  • General presentation (10 marks)

    • Neat and concise reporting
    • Spelling and grammar (be sure to proofread your work)
    • Organization (report is well laid-out using appropriate sections)
    • Consistent in-text citations and reference list.

The total is 65 marks.
