Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
As teaching / learning activities, learn theoretical classes of an expository character during the time of normal classes. In extra times, students must carry out practical work, with the aid of computers and software, using the method of preparing a geotechnical or risk map for a real work area, in groups of 2 students. The document is available in the weekly weekly schedule to support the development of works, complemented by the support "on line". The evaluation is carried out according to the following specification: Final grade = 0.5 T + 0.5 E T - written work note E - frequency note / Exam (written test with the whole subject). The work is about the use of GIS in one of the themes of the UC. The evaluation criteria can be revised, in accordance with the General Knowledge Assessment Rules of UBI.
