Teaching method

In theoretical-practical classes (4h/week) the  issues are presented and explained to students and in the end of each subchapter applied to the practical resolution of academic problems. Throughout the semester, students perform practical work 3 (1 - development of research on problems of cities and their relationship to different urban morphologies, 2 - Identification of existing models infra-structures an urban model identified 3 -development of proposed design and location of urban equipment in a municipality identified and determine its economic viability and financial) in groups of four students.

Evaluation method

The unit have frequence with the madatory presence in 2/3 of the classes in the semester.

Evaluation is made by tree exercises along the semester and a final theorical tese.

The final classification is obtained by: FC = 0.70 TP + 0.30 EX the final classification (CF) is up to 20 values.

Students who don´t have be approved on the class but have frequence have access to final exame.
