Learning activities and methodology
- Lectures. The aim is to achieve the specific competencies of the subject. The fundamental ideas of the subject will be presented. - Practical classes. These classes develop the specific instrumental competencies and most of the transversal competencies, such as teamwork, the ability to apply knowledge to practice, to plan and organize and to analyze and synthesize. They also aim to develop specific attitudinal skills. - Academic Activities: -- With the presence of the teacher. Participation in classes guided by the teacher where aspects of the subject are studied in-depth and evaluated. Tests to evaluate theoretical and practical knowledge. -- Without the presence of the teacher. Exercises, complementary readings proposed by the lecturer, class preparation, practical work. - Webinars. These are intended to complement the acquisition of specific cognitive competencies. In addition, they develop some transversal competencies such as the capacity for analysis and synthesis, as well as teamwork. - Tutorials: Individualized assistance (individual tutorials) or group assistance (group tutorials) to students by the lecturer.
