fundamental knowledge inherent to the major socio-relational problems
inherent to the relationship between human beings and urban space within the major participatory dynamics.
With respect to applied knowledge and understanding (Descriptor 2 = applying knowledge and understanding) the students will have

With respect to the autonomy of judgment (Descriptor 3 =
making judgments) students both during and in
particular at the end of the teaching course
they must be able to analyze in
autonomously the major arguments dealt with
in teaching with the aim of knowing each other
to relate to them in a critical way.
With respect to communication skills (Descriptor 4 =
communication skills) students
they must have mastered the terminology inherent to the topics covered in the teaching and must be able to articulate a discourse on the topics and problems independently
treated. With respect to the ability to learn
(Descriptor 5 = learning skills) students will have acquired those bibliographic tools e
linguistic-lexical to develop in an autonomous way a critical reflection on the problems of participation in the urban space.

Teaching methods
The teaching activities will be conducted through the method of the frontal lesson /presentation and the method of the lesson Heuristic/ Socratic; a sequential type of expositive teaching (with steps of knowledge) will be alternated with a hypothetical or heuristic teaching based on questions/ stimulus. This mode of teaching aims to promote in the students the autonomous research of meaning on the topics of the frontal lessons. With the use of the Simulation/Role playing and Cooperative Learning methods, we will try to involve the students actively in the construction of the lesson.
Assessment methods and criteria
Interview exam on teaching topics and written presentation of the laboratory projects.
Other information
None.
