Teaching Methodologies
Theoretical and practical lessons, with a set of practical work to develop during the semester in the classroom andfieldwork to survey information, carried out with use of positioning Systems (GPS). The evaluation of the module 1has a weight of 50% and is performed with a theoretical/practical test (80%) and a practical work (20%), the 2module with a weight of 50%, is made by means of a theoretical-practical test (80%) and a practical work (20%).
Learning Results
The objectives of the curricular unit result in the acquisition of 4 skills:
1 – understanding the geological and climatic phenomena with expression on the environment;
2-Recognize soiland climatic characteristics and social factors that determine the main land use systems in Portugal;
3-Meet theconcepts and methods of execution of surveys and learn the various techniques of data collection and productionof information;
4-learn about the different forms of cartographic representation and the way to produce and analyze
Program
The syllabus for the acquisition of the skills mentioned are divided into two learning modules:
module1-understanding of geological phenomena and climate and their relationship with the environment and land use;
Module 2-using techniques and tools of withdrawals in the production of cartography
