Teaching Methodologies
n theoreticalpractical classes the expository method and inquisitive will be used during the explanation of issues. Students are encouraged to research independently on certain issues and will be orally questioned. In Laboratory Practice classes the students will resolve practical exercises. During Tutorials classes questions will be answered in order to support the practical work.
Learning Results
Understand the theoretical and practical concepts of cartography and topography. Understand other means used in acquisition, analysis, representation and management of spatial data.
