Other comments
To help achieve a sustained immediate environment and meet the objective of action number 5: "Healthy and sustainable environmental and social teaching and research" of the "Green Campus Ferrol Action Plan":

The delivery of the documentary work carried out in this subject:

  • They will be requested in virtual format and/or computer support
  • It will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them.
  • If it is necessary to make them on paper:
    • Plastics shall not be used
    • Double-sided priing shall be carried out.
    • Recycled paper will be used.
    • Printing of drafts shall be avoided.
A sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment must be made.
