Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming), Demonstration
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to apply the knowledge which where obtained from previous studies in solving practical geographically oriented tasks in the field. The course offers the acquisition of knowledge in complex tasks in the form of a project, where students solve a given task in small teams. During the solution, they comes to new knowledge.
Define the main ideas and conceptions of the subject, describe the main approaches of the studied topics, recall the theoretical knowledge for solution of model problems.
Prerequisites
