TRAINING ACTIVITIES: THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL CLASSES. In them, the knowledge to be acquired by the students will be presented. They will receive the class notes and will have basic reference texts to facilitate the follow-up of the classes and the development of the subsequent work. Exercises and practical problems will be solved by the students and workshops will be held to acquire the necessary skills. There will be 42 hours with 100% attendance. TUTORIALS. Individualized assistance (individual tutorials) or in group (collective tutorials) to the students by the professor. 28 hours will be dedicated with a 25% of presenciality. INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP WORK BY THE STUDENT. It will be dedicated 78 hours 0% presenciality. TEACHING METHODOLOGIES: MASTER CLASSES: 2 ECTS. Class lectures by the professor with the support of computer and audiovisual media, in which the main concepts of the subject are developed and the materials and bibliography are provided to complement the students' learning. PRACTICAL CLASSES: 1 ECTS Resolution of practical cases, problems, etc. posed by the teacher individually or in groups. PROGRAMMING EXERCISES: 1.25 ECTS. Initiated during the practical classes and completed outside of them, they aim to complete the development of the specific instrumental competences and to initiate the development of the specific attitudinal competences, as well as the transversal competences problem solving and application of knowledge. CASE STUDY: 1.25 ECTS. Initiated during the practical classes and finished outside of them, its objective is to complete and integrate the development of all the specific and transversal competences, in the design and implementation of a practical case by means of group work. TUTORIALS. Individualized assistance (individual tutorials) or group (group tutorials) to students by the professor. teacher. FINAL EXAM: 0.5 ECTS.
