Basic and general
CG1 - Ensure a general and integrated training on the fundamental contents of the various thematic areas 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 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
CE1 - Perform integrated analyzes of the territory
CE2 - Know the techniques of field work and data capture on the ground
CE3 - Use Geographical Information Systems
CE7 - Carry out analysis and proposals for environmental management
CE4 - Express information cartographically
CE5 - Prepare and interpret statistical information
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
The teaching is based on:
- Lectures focused on the explanation of concepts, techniques and working methods.
- Interactive classes focused on the use of suitable sources, techniques and tools in coastal studies, including the use of cartography, GIS and laboratory techniques.
- The subject includes at least one Field Trip on the official dates in which the theoretical contents will be applied on the ground. Attendance at the Field Trip will be mandatory, unless justified.
Practical works from the interactive classes and in the Field Trip (40%)
Final report applying the concepts and techniques learned (60%)
In the 2nd Opportunity, it will be possible to attend only with the failed part (Practical works or Final Report).
In the event that the dispensation from attending classes is officially granted, the students will have to do a specific piece of work, agreed with the teacher.
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the Evaluation of the academic performance of students and review of grades will apply.
Passing the subject requires a dedication time by the student equivalent to the total number of practical and theoretical hours in the classroom.
It is recommended to have passed the subjects of the Technical Module
The practices have a marked sequential character and progressive learning, so regular class attendance is recommended.
It is strongly recommended to take the Information Skills Courses offered by the University Library
