Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The learning process designed for this subject is based on the development of theoretical-practical activities focused on environment pollution. The particular contents described in the verified manuscript of the degree and the corresponded credits are patented in these activities. The aim of these activities is to provide student with the expected learning outcome and the habits which help them in their professional and personal life.

5.2. Learning tasks

The teaching methodology consist of next active learning activities: lectures, practical sessions, problem-based learning, seminars, exams and finals. These activities could be complemented with others like problem solving tasks, mini-project work and lab reports redaction and the personal study.

Through the Moodle platform the professoriate makes the activities program accessible for the students with its corresponded username and password in the web site http://moodle.unizar.es
