Environmental Education

Since it is an integrated course it is recommended that students are approved in all previous courses.

Several methods and techniques are combined:

– Oral presentations, in theoretical-practical classes and seminars/lectures, which encourage the participation of students;

– Specialized literature review, with guidance from the professor, on particular topics of the program;

– Video viewing;

– Development of project work with application of Practice Based Learning (PBL) methodologies;

– Oral presentation and discussion of works;

– Visits and invited lectures;

– Tutorial guidance activities.

-TP3 - Outlining the EE strategy 10%
-TP4 - Evidence of intervention implementation 10%
-TP5 - Analysing the results of the two surveys (pre and post) 10%
-TP6 - Presentation and discussion of the project 50%

Assessment = 0.1xTP1 + 0.1xTP2 + 0.1xTP3 + 0.1xTP4 + 0.1xTP5 + 0.5xTP6

EXAM:
