Teaching method
Theorectical and practical lectures (debates), focusing on: i) theoretical understanding of the principles and methodologies used in spatial planning; ii) application of specific methodologies and techniques; iii) presentation and discussion of case studies.
Evaluation method
Continuous evaluation, with individual assignments, on-line forum discussions and a final face to face examination.
The evaluation system has the following components:
- Final exam (in person) about the subjects taught (50%);
- Continous evaluation (50%), which translated into participation in the platform (40%) and individual assignment (60%).
