- Knowledge of the main endogenous and exogenous phenomena and interactions between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere.
Ability to link causes and effects related to the endogenous and exogenous phenomena of the planet. Reading and interpreting geographical and topographical maps. - Prerequisites
- Student must have minimum knowledge (acquired during the high school of second degree) on phenomena that interact on the planet Earth. The teacher will evaluate informally previous knowledge of the students so that they can remedy in the initial stage of course, of the cognitive gaps and bringing students to a base level as uniform as possible. After this stage will start the course proper.
- Teaching methods
- Theoretical lessons and practical training
- Learning verification modality
- Oral examination, lasting minimum 45 minutes in which students will be evaluated on the ability to express the knowledges acquired by individual study and the ability to develop logical arguments cause / effect.
