General and Basic
CG1 - Ensure general and integrated training on the fundamental contents of the various fields
themes of Geography, its epistemological development and its research methods.
CG2 - Know, understand and interpret the territory
CG3 - Interrelate the physical and environmental environment with the social and human sphere
CG4 - Combine a general approach with a specialized analysis
CG5 - Interrelate phenomena at different territorial scales
CG6 - Explain the diversity of places, regions and location
CG7 - Understand spatial relationships. Assess cultural aspects in their interpretation
CG8 - Analyze and interpret landscapes
CG9 - Generate sensitivity and interest in territorial and environmental issues
CB1 - That the students have demonstrated that they possess and understand knowledge in an area of study that starts from the base of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, although it is supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects involving knowledge from the cutting edge of your field of study
CB2 - That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and have the skills that are usually demonstrated through the development and defense of arguments and problem solving within their area of study
CB3 - That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature
CB4 - That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialized and non-specialized public
CB5 - That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy
transverse
CT3 - Know the principles of Territorial Planning
CT4 - Combine the temporal and spatial dimensions in the explanation of socio-territorial processes
CT7 - Manage complexity
CT5 - Relate and synthesize transversal territorial information
CT6 - Generate agreements in interdisciplinary teams
CT8 - Order and synthesize information
CT9 - Expose and transmit geographic knowledge
specific

CE6 - Carry out analysis and proposals for territorial management
CE8 - Manage the location of services and activities
CE9 - Carry out integrated diagnosis of public action
- Understand the differentiation between the concepts of transport, mobility and accessibility
- Evaluate the structuring role of transport and mobility in the territory

Expositive classes (explanation of theoretical concepts by the teacher) and interactive classes will be developed.
The second will consist of text analysis, debates based on topics proposed by the teacher, and viewing and commenting on audiovisual materials.
From each interactive class, students must deliver to the teacher a little report.
Each student must submit to the teacher (at the latest on the day of the official exam) a work on a specific topic that they will choose with the supervision of the teacher in the first three weeks of class, from a list that the teacher will provide on the first day of class.
There will be a field trip, of which the students must make a report, which they must deliver to the teacher
The final grade will be given by an exam, which will account for 50% of it. The remaining 50% of the grade will be given by the use of the interactive classes, as well as the reports of the same and the work of the subject.
The field trip and the corresponding report will account for 25% of the total grade for the interactive part
These criteria will be the same in the first edition of the call as in the second.
The qualification of the interactive part of the first edition of the call (if the student does not pass the subject in it) can be saved for the second in case the student requests it from the teacher.
Students who miss an interactive class may compensate for their absence by doing a job assigned by the teacher.
Students who are granted class attendance dispensation (following Instruction No. 1/2017 of the General Secretariat on class attendance dispensation in certain circumstances), will be evaluated with a specific final exam that will mean 100% of the the grade.
In the event that class attendance waiver is officially granted, students will have to take the subject exam and the interactive part will have to be compensated with specific work.
The subject has a personal workload of 150 hours (6 ECTS), between face-to-face classes and remote activities.
It is advisable to follow up on current affairs, through the daily press or other sources, as far as news related to the matter is concerned.
Notice about plagiarism: In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the one contained in the Regulations for Evaluation of Student Academic Performance and Review of Qualifications will apply.
The Information Skills courses offered by the Library are recommended as training activities:
