Real-world geospatial data are located with a measuring device; thus, products from different sources, such as imagery and ground measurements will have a relative uncertainty. Common consumer GNSS devices have an absolute uncertainty of ~±3m, while modern satellite imagery may have a pixel size of ≤0.5m. Ground reference data and imagery layers can therefore be misaligned by several pixels, significantly affecting applications such as training of machine learning classifiers.
Lectures are where you can extend your understanding of the topic, become aware of the lecturer’s perspective and emphasis and make notes of the important aspects of the lecture. Tutorials enable you to build on and go into some of the lecture content in greater detail. In tutorials you have the opportunity to exchange ideas and views with other students and the tutor so that you can develop a fuller understanding of the topic and integrate ideas from your reading writing and lectures.
During your time at university, you will master many new skills that you will use in your studies, and then in your professional life after you graduate. One of the most important skills is using accurate and clear language in your written and oral assignments. This section has materials that will help you polish your language. If you lack confidence with accuracy, look at the sections on Grammar and Punctuation. If you have been told that your style is too informal, read the section in Grammar about What to avoid in formal writing.
A French Sociologist once said that ‘Academic language...is no-one's mother tongue’ (Bordieu & Passeron, 1995, p.8). This is because academic English is quite different to general conversational English, and each discipline has its own vocabulary. As a result, some students feel like they need to learn a new language when they start university. This can feel especially true for the large number of CDU students who are studying for their degrees in their second or third language.
