BASIC AND GENERAL SKILLS
CG03 - Use of information sources and databases for the analysis and to produce specific information on terrestrial biodiversity.
CG04 - Write professional reports and scientific publications in the framework of terrestrial biodiversity.
CB7 - Students should know how to apply the acquired knowledge and ability to problem solving in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) context related to their area of study.
CB8 - Students should be able to integrate knowledge and handle the complexity of formulating judgments based on information that, even though incomplete or limited, considers social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments.
CB9 - Students should know how to communicate their findings, knowledge and reasons underpinning them, to specialized and non-specialized public in a clear and unambiguous way.
CROSS-SECTIONAL SKILLS
CT2 - Ability for reasoning, argumentation and decision making.
CT4 -Ability to obtain adequate, diverse and updated information in different languages.
CT5- Commitment to provide accurate information to others.
CT6- Problem-solving capacity through integrated application of knowledge.
SPECIFIC SKILLS
CE12 - Capacity to elaborate Environmental Impact Assessment.
CE13 - Capacity to communicate information related to terrestrial biodiversity.
Lecture-explanation: teaching procedure by which the lecturer will present the concepts and/or procedures, providing basic information necessary for understanding the theoretical perspectives or practical procedures, to promote student participation.
Practical class: developed in the field, laboratory or computer room. Its objectives are to observe in situ aspects of the physical and biological environment, to carry out experiments and to learn and apply computer software, with the support and supervision of the lecturer.
Workshop: formative methodology on how to apply the practical implementation, which requires students to put into practice the acquired knowledge, with the support and supervision of the teaching staff.
