Mobility Planning

Base Knowledge

It is recommended that students have prior knowledge of statistics and geographic information systems

Teaching Methodologies

Classes are intended for the presentation and discussion of the different subjects that make up the program of the discipline, encouraging active and participatory learning. With a strong practical component, this subject will provide the opportunity, in relation to a given territorial unit, for students to acquire the ability to read and understand the main guidelines in the design of sustainable mobility policies. Approval in this curricular unit requires a grade equal to or greater than 7.50 in all elements of evaluation and final classification (CF) of at least 9.50, considering the scale from 0 to 20 values. A CF=0.4 x written test + 0.60 x practical test.

 

Learning Results
