Exercise applied to landscape architecture
The teaching methodologies are consistent with the objectives of the course. The methodology of the theoretical classes provides the knowledge base for the practical applications developed in different field works and using GIS software.
The exercises developed in the practical component focus on applications to landscape architecture and have the personal monitoring of the teacher, ensuring that the student has the opportunity to consolidate and test the direct application of the theoretical concepts learned.
The evaluation focuses on the demonstration of skills in the practical application of the concepts learned, thus allowing to simultaneously evaluate the theoretical knowledge acquired and the ability of its application in solving practical cases (exercice).
