Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
This subject includes 18 hours of direct contact, 2 hours of tutorial guidance and 28 hours of independent work, totaling 48 hours. This subject grants the student 1 ECTS.
Classes are organized into theoretical sessions, which include the presentation of content on nature-based technologies for storing, treating and reusing water that circulates in urban areas (rainwater, greywater and wastewater), and practical sessions, dedicated to calculating some water storage, treatment and infiltration technologies.
The assessment is carried out based on the assessment of three practical works on water storage, treatment and infiltration technologies, carried out in the classroom, presented in pitch format. Obtaining a grade equal to or greater than 9.5 (on a scale of 0 to 20) grants approval in the subject.
