C1 | CMECES1 That students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that is based on general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study |
C2 | CMECES2 That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the development and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study. |
C3 | CMECES3 That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature. |
C4 | CMECES4 That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialised and non-specialised audience |
C5 | CMECES5 That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy |

Methodologies |
Description | |
Seminars | Seminars, case studies projects and teaching guidance, with application of the heuristic method of teaching and learning, which will develop the skills of knowledge and application of the specific terminology of environmental projects, identification of the different stages of the project life cycle, and knowledge of project management within the framework of the Law on Public administration Contracts. |
Laboratory practicals | By working in groups the students develop the skills associated with the development, management and monitoring of environmental projects and the preparation of technical reports. |
Lecture | Plenary sessions, through which the student knows the content and how to organize and manage projects, different methods of management and develops approach to projects, and the minimum contents and technical reports. |

Other comments and second call | |||
1. BEHAVIOUR IN THE CLASSROOM: During the course, the student must avoid undesirable behaviours that can lead to be expelled from the activities. A few examples of such undesirable behaviours are violent, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, unhygienic behaviours, unappropriated use of electronic devices and private chatting. In particular, unauthorized recordings are forbidden.
2. BEHAVIOUR IN THE EXAM: The possession and use of materials that are not explicitly approved for the exams are forbidden. In general, the allowed materials are pens, pencils and rubbers. Specifically, the possession and use of notes, books, binders and electronic devices are forbidden. Should the student not comply with these rules, he or she will be immediately expelled and will fail the exam. Moreover, the general guidelines of the Universidad de León in cases of plagiarism and fraud will be applied. These guidelines can be also applied in case that the teacher detects plagiarism or fraud during the correction of exams or assignments.
3. EVALUATION: Spelling mistakes in practical assignments and exams will be taken into account at the evaluation. If the teacher considers that one or several assignments or exams have been carried out in an outstanding manner, the final grade of the student can be increased. If the teacher considers that one or several assignments or exams have been carried out in a very deficient manner, or not submitted, the final grade can be decreased.
If any of the mistakes in any assignment or exam is a conceptual crucial mistake, the final grade can be 0.0. To pass the course, the student will need to obtain a minimum grade on the theoretical and practical parts of the course. This minimum grade will be 4.0 if no other consideration is made during the development of the course. The student that cannot attend the exams of the theoretical part on their realization days has the option to take a substitute exam during the evaluation period of the first call. To do that, he or she must apply for it by presenting proof of a justified reason and he or she will be able to take the exam once the teacher has agreed with it.
4. SECOND CALL: One or several exams will be carried out. The practical part can’t be retaken and the student will keep the grade obtained on the first call. The theoretical exam in the second call will comprehend the totality of the course. To pass the course, the student will need to obtain a minimum grade on the theoretical part. This minimum grade will be 4.0 if no other consideration is made during the development of the course.
5. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: Grades of assignments of previous years regarding the practical part won’t be preserved. The main channel to communicate with the teacher will be presential, which means during the class and tutorials. |
