Content
The course consists in six days in the field that aim at exploring the geography of Belgium by a panorama of landscapes. Two days are allocated to urban and periurban geography. They illustrate concepts that the students will have studied in class LGEO1221. Two days are allocated to Belgian geology, with the concrete and tri-dimensional study of geological objects. Finally, two days are allocated to geology and physical geography, and rural geography. The four days covering geology develop further the bases described in courses LBIR1130 and LGEO1251.
Evaluation methods
The human geography part is evaluated with an oral exam (50% of the total marks) during which the students present a digital collection of maps that allow to detail and comment the landscape and themes during the four days out on the filed (urban and rural geography).
The geology and physical geography are evaluated based on geometric representations and drawings prepared for the outings, and an oral exam covering knwoledge of rocks and minerals sampled during the field trips.
