Professional interest

The course presents theoretical and practical applications in the professional development of future graduates. The technical future must be able to identify and apply theoretical and practical knowledge on valuation of all types of agricultural and environmental assets within a profession which is gaining greater prominence and importance valuation of natural and environmental resources, and effects of political and economic activities have on them. All this without forgetting the traditional assessment of agricultural resources

Methodology and grading

Methodology

Case studies: Learning through the analysis of actual or simulated cases in order to interpret and resolve them by employing various alternative solution procedures.
Lecture: Pass on knowledge and activate cognitive processes in students, encouraging their participation.
Problem-based learning: Develop active learning strategies through problem solving that promote thinking, experimentation, and decision making in the student.
Solving exercises and problems: Exercise, test, and apply previous knowledge through routine repetition.

Grading

The evaluation of the subject will attend two ways:
- Continuous assessment, or
- Final exam

If the student chooses the continuous assessment a sequence of exercises, tasks and questionnaires (test) that must be delivered on the scheduled dates will be scheduled. The subject, as indicated in paragraph teaching guide content, is structured in teaching units, and these into themes.
For each teaching unit and issue a test of 10 questions of multiple choice (3 or 4 options) with only one real answer will be scheduled. Every two questions wrong deducted a well (ie, a poorly subtracted half a right). Unanswered not score. All questions have the same value in the unit rating of each test. As you advance in the subject deadline for completion of the test it opens. The opening and closing period the students will be notified. After the date of closure NOT be testing. Each test can be performed only once. The test is carried out on an on-line, and maximum execution time has previously been noted.
Also for each teaching unit a series of practical tasks, which consist of exercises, problems or other activities will be scheduled. Also a deadline to be met the same is indicated. Each practical task is scored on 10 points. In the event that the teachers accept delivery of a task later, the score of this task will have some penalty (ranging between 20% and 50% less than 10 initial) not be a grievance on students yes He has delivered on time. Exercises and tasks must be resolved individually, rewarding yourself originality and degree of contribution made, so that penalize those who are detected that are copied from foreign material or each other.

The final grade for the course, for students who opt for continuous assessment will be half the sum between the note of the theoretical part (arithmetic mean of all tests performed rated each of 10), and the practical part (arithmetic mean all tasks, exercises and problems made, also rated each of 10), provided that at least has been obtained 4 out of 10 in each of the parts (theory and practice), and always has been performed at least 70 % of activities in term (continuous assessment).

For students who do not follow the system of continuous assessment or whose qualifications obtained, have not passed the subject continuously (ie, the overall mark of their ratings less than five) have the option of making the final exam.

The final exam will take place on the dates and official announcements set by the school secretary (June and September), and consist of two parts, a theoretical and practical. The final exam will face in classrooms Center

The theoretical part will consist of a test of 20 multiple-choice questions (3 or 4 options) with only one real answer. Every two questions wrong deducted a well (ie, a poorly subtracted half a right). Unanswered not score. All questions have the same value in the final grade.

The practical part consists in solving an exercise, problem or activity similar to those raised and made during the course.
The final score of the final exam will be the result of assigning a weight of 50% to the theoretical part and 50% to the practical part.
