In this subject, the student will acquire or put into practice a series of basic and generic skills, desirable in any university degree, and some other specific to land use planning (especially in aspects related to the agroforestry environment). Within the framework of competences designed for the degree, the following will be worked on:
Basic and general skills
CB2 - That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the elaboration and defense of arguments in solving problems within their area of study
CB3 - That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of study) to make judgments that include a reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature
CB4 - That students could transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialized and non-specialized audience
CG7 - Ability to solve technical problems arising from the management of natural spaces
CG10 - Ability to apply forest management and land planning techniques, as well as the criteria and indicators of sustainable forest management within the framework of forest certification procedures
CG13 - Ability to design, direct, develop, implement and interpret projects and plans, as well as to write technical reports, recognition reports, appraisals, expert reports and appraisals
Transversal skills
CT1 - Capacity for analysis and synthesis.
CT2 - Capacity for reasoning and argumentation
CT3 - Capacity for individual work, with a self-critical attitude.
CT4 - Ability to work in a group and address problem situations collectively.
CT5 - Ability to obtain suitable, diverse and up-to-date information
CT6 - Ability to prepare and present an organized and understandable text.
CT7 - Ability to make a presentation in public in a clear, concise and coherent way.
CT8 - Commitment to truthfulness of the information offered to others.
CT9 - Ability to manage information and communication technologies (ICT).
CT10 - Use of bibliographic information and the Internet.
CT11 - Use of information in a foreign language
Specific skills
CETEEF8 - Capacity to know, understand and use the principles of Land Management and Planning.
Teaching will be addressed through expository teaching in groups of up to 30 students (18 hours), through participatory master classes. Likewise, interactive teaching will be given oriented to the development of practical cases (18 hours). The practical cases will serve to put the theoretical explanations in context, and may require group work by the students. The results of the practical sessions, together with the personal work of the student, will constitute a practical work to be delivered in the form of portfolios.
Specifically, they will be used as methodological elements, oriented to the corresponding competences:
• Participatory master classes (CG7, CT11, CETEEF8)
• Seminars and conferences (CG7, CETEEF8)
• Laboratory or field practices (CG7, CG10, CETEEF8)
• Computer classroom practices (CG7, CG10, CT1, CT3, CETEEF8)
• Use of classic and digital boards (CG7, CT3, CT9)
• Use of the virtual classroom (CG7, CG10, CT3, CT9)
• Making presentations by computer (CG7, CT2, CT4, CT9)
• Troubleshooting (CG7, CT1, CT3, CT5, CT12)
• Preparation and presentation of course work/s (CG7, CG10, CT2, CT1, CT4, CT5, CT6, CT7, CT8, CT10, CT12, CETEEF8)
• Learning based on the resolution of practical cases and projects (CG7, CG10, CT1, CETEEF8)
• Individualized and collective tutorials (CG7, CT3)
• Autonomous work and independent study of the students (CG7, CG10, CT3, CT10, CT11, CETEEF8)
• Group work and cooperative learning (CG7, CT1, CT4, CT7, CT10, CETEEF8)
• Active discussion session(s) (CG7, CT1, CETEEF8)
• Evaluation of skills through control exercises (CG7, CG10, CT2, CT3, CT6, CT8, CT12, CETEEF8)
The use of the virtual USC platform, as well as the Microsoft Teams application, will speed up the two-way flow of information between student and teacher, making the teaching of the subject more agile, and facilitating access to documentation by the student.
Mixed with workshops and case studies, and exam. The student is evaluated based on their answers to the teachers' questions and their interventions and results in the workshops and case studies, either individually or in groups. At the end of the course, the students take an exam. The student's grade is divided into 45% in the written test, 45% in the delivery and/or presentation of work (workshops, cases), and 10% in attendance. It is considered that, except for the written test, the rest of the evaluation elements constitute a continuous evaluation. Students who do not obtain a minimum of 5 points out of 10 in each part will not pass the subject. In the practices, the performance of the student in the classroom will be evaluated through the quality of the work delivered. For cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for evaluating the academic performance of students and reviewing grades" will apply.
The distribution of competences in the evaluation will be:
Assistance (10%)
Written test (45%): competencies evaluated CG7, CG13, CETEEF8.
Practical works delivered and/or exposed (45%): competencies evaluated CB2, CB3, CB4, CG7, CG10, CG13, CETEEF8.
To pass the subject, the student is required to attend 75% of the theoretical and practical classes. Failure to comply with attendance will mean that, in order to pass the subject, the student will have to do additional work proposed by the teacher. The students who have been granted an attendance waiver must carry out specific additional work indicated by the teacher. These criteria are valid for the call for 1st and 2nd opportunity and repeaters. The qualifications of the practical works and of the exams will be conserved only during the academic year.
The students will dedicate a total of 73.5 hours of personal work, which will be divided between reading and preparation of topics (23.5 hours), the previous preparation of the practices and the subsequent work on them (20 hours), the preparation of course work (15 hours) and preparation of evaluation tests (15 hours).
It is recommended to adapt to the programming of theoretical and practical contents in accordance with the manuals of the subject, for maximum use when studying it. Likewise, the teaching material will be made available to the students for their study prior to the expository sessions, so that they can better understand and assimilate the concepts of the subject. Students are encouraged to actively participate in classes and use tutorials.
