Contents:

- Guided exercise of DOCFA procedure.

Readings/Bibliography

Lecture notes prepared by teachers in relation to all teaching units (the material is made available on “Insegnamenti online” progressively during the course, functionally for the lectures). Lecture notes given by the professors represent the necessary base for preparing the exam if integrated by notes taken by students during the lessons. For further in-depth study of specific subjects it is warmly recommended to refer to specific chapters of the following books:

Teaching methods

The course unit consists of different teaching units, including lectures, coupled with CAD and GIS practical activities, seminars and study visits. Module 1 and 2 will be developed in an integrated way. The theoretical units, consisting of lectures, will be preparatory to the practical activities. The latter aim at the preparation of a final document (design and report) that will be individually realized under the teachers’ supervision.

Assessment methods

The course is part of the Integrated Course “Planning and management of agro-territorial, forest and landscape” together with the teaching: Environmental appraisal. Therefore, the evaluation of the course takes into account jointly the level of knowledge and skills acquired by the student in relation to the contents of all of the teachings.

The knowledge and skills of this teaching are assessed in the following way. During the final exam, the knowledge and skills acquired on each of the two modules are assessed.

The learning evaluation of the contents of both the two modules involves an oral exam in which the teachers will evaluate:

• the final documents and (design and report produced under the supervision of the teachers);

• their defense;

• knowledge and preparation achieved on the theoretical part through specific questions.

The overall assessment is made by the Commission taking into account:

• for the theoretical part: the knowledge and skill level achieved by the student on the contents of all the teaching units;

• for the graphic documents: the contents, clarity, consistency, and graphical quality.

Marks are expressed as a score out of 30.

To pass the exam the student has to show to have acquired sufficient knowledge on the main contents of the all the teaching units. To achieve the honors, an autonomous and competent capability to deal with in-depth analysis on the discussed subjects is required.

Examination dates, times and locations are published on the degree course website. Subscription to exams through the AlmaEsami web application.

Teaching tools

• PC and projector;

• computer lab with CAD and GIS software;

• instruments for architectural survey and topographic survey.
