水文学教学涉及课堂外发生的过程，这需要主动学习的方法来补充讲课。在地理本科课程中，设计了新的教学方法和评估方法，学生通过完成家庭作业和在海报上展示结果来调查他们选择的河流。在为期3年的实施过程中，通过结合正式和非正式的学生和讲师反馈来评估这些变化。学生们提到他们喜欢做这个项目，它有助于他们对理论的理解，他们的研究技能，以及他们选择，组织和呈现信息的能力。问卷调查结果显示，在实施期间，学生对作业的感知价值增加强烈，而对讲座的感知价值仍然很高。在非正式的反馈中，学生们指出，他们喜欢了解自己住在哪里，更喜欢单独完成项目，看到彼此的项目，并且在评估时花更多的时间在课程作业上。当在面试中回顾时，学生们评论说，这些项目为他们的论文和暑期工作做了很好的准备。以作业为基础的项目来补充讲座的好处是理论与实践之间的紧密联系，这可以通过在讲座中讨论作业来进一步加强。
ABSTRACT Hydrology teaching deals with processes happening outside the classroom, which calls for active-learning methods to complement lectures. In a geography undergraduate course, new teaching methods and assessment were designed, in which students investigated a river of their choice by completing homework tasks and presenting their results on a poster. During a 3-year implementation process, the changes were evaluated using a combination of formal and informal student and lecturer feedback. Students mentioned that they enjoyed doing the project and that it helped their understanding of theory, their research skills, and their ability to select, organize and present information. Questionnaire results showed that, over the implementation period, students’ perceived value of homework increased strongly, while their perceived value of lectures remained high. In informal feedback, students noted that they enjoyed learning about where they live, preferred doing the projects individually and seeing each other’s projects, and spent more time on the coursework when assessed. When looking back in interviews, students commented that the projects had prepared them well for their dissertation and summer job. The advantage of using homework-based projects complementing lectures is the strong link between theory and practice, which could be further enhanced by discussing the homework in the lectures.
