The subject is taught in the second semester. The theoretical part comprises participatory lectures, in order to explain the basic contents. The matter is implemented through the virtual campus. The practices of labs and field carried out during the course are mandatory and help students to better understand the theoretical part. Practical work that students must perform during the course pretends facilitate and reinforce the learning of the contents of the subject. The students will visit for a comprehensive study, a given area, which can be from a city park to historic gardens among others. The individual analysis of different types of green spaces and landscapes will help to a better understanding of the subject, either in terms of design and landscape management, as plant selection, poor maintenance, etc., of a green area.
The competencies worked are the following:
Lectures - CG1, CT2, CT12, CEG2, CEG6, HJ4, HJ8
Practices.- CG4, CT1, CT3, CT9, CT10, CT12, CEG1, CEG2, CEG4, CEG5, HJ4, HJ8
Group Tutorials.- CT12, HJ4, HJ8
All necessary information on the matter, and the material used in the theoretical and practical teaching, web links, forum discussions, exercises for learning the subject as well as developments in the field of gardening and landscaping, will be available for the students in the virtual campus of USC. Space on the virtual campus for delivery of the work made for the students is also enabled.
Students will be examined in the theoretical part of the matter through a written test in a final exam, it will be necessary to approve to pass the subject. For the evaluation of the practices of ornamental species identification test visu be held that
also it needs to be approved to pass the subject. Practices are compulsory attendance.
