Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The courses will be both in the class and in the laboratory, and are supported by the videos, recorded in the field during the soil improvement projects. The supplementary documents are shared before each course in order to prepare the students to the introduced improvement technique. At least three soil improvement techniques are planned to apply in the laboratory and student reports regarding these attempts are expected.
