Evaluation Methodology
Assessment by Frequency: application exercises in continuous assessment (30%) + individual work (poster) on practical application of spatial studies to civil protection or territory (70%).
Students are approved when the weighted average of the various components of the assessment is equal to or greater than 9.5.
Assessment by Exam: individual application work in GIS applied to real problems associated with territory or civil protection.
Report and project with geographic data (100%).
