Learning activities and methodology
The training activities applied in this subject will be: - Theoretical classes - Laboratory Practices - Group work - Individual student work - Partial and final examinations The subject will use the following teaching methodologies: - Exhibitions in the teacher's class with computer and audiovisual support, in which the main concepts of the subject are developed and the bibliography is provided to complement the students' learning. - Critical reading of texts recommended by the subject teacher: press articles, reports, manuals and/or academic articles, either for later discussion in class, or to expand and consolidate knowledge of the subject. - Resolution of practical cases, problems, etc. raised by the teacher individually or in group. - Presentation and discussion in class, under the teacher's moderation of topics related to the content of the subject, as well as practical cases. - Elaboration of works and reports individually or in group.
