For the speech sessions, topics will be developed with the teaching methodology of interactive classes in order to achieve a harmonious development of the contents of the subjects and facilitate the explanatory understanding of geographical both methodological and instrumental and applied concepts of regional geographical analysis. All must be translated into the development of scripts for each of the topics that are addressed. |
| ICT practicals |
Practices in the classroom will facilitate the understanding of complementary aspects such as place names. To be used as graphics support materials and maps at different scales. Access to web pages and the cartographic and alphanumeric data bases query in real time is also scheduled. |
| Supervised projects |
Supervised practical work shall be drawn up, in your home, during face-to-face, to facilitate the prior understanding of the objectives. For this purpose must be given sources and instruments that allow the development of autonomous works, since the phase of elaboration and achievement of the goals will be held in non-Presential hours but protected. |
