Teaching Methods
The expository method is adopted along with the recurrent use of images (photographs and videos) on the landscape, and the recommendation of readings, introducing the different subjects. It is assumed that the students participate actively in by asking their questions, asking for clarification or giving their opinion on the topics presented. Emphasis is given to interdisciplinarity associated with landscape intervention, confronting students with distinct points of view relative to other disciplinary domains and inviting speakers from other areas of knowledge to classrooms.
The evaluation is done through written tests / frequencies or examinations.
