Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The course will be done of theoretical lectures in classroom, and besides this will be in the form of implementation issues on topographic and geological maps. Each sample solutions and applications related to the subject will be enough. Examples of creating a debate on the teaching of subjects will be provided as well.
