Learning activities and methodology
LEARNING ACTIVITIES FACE-TO-FACE CLASSES: REDUCED (WORKSHOPS, SEMINARS, CASE STUDIES): As a counterpart to lectures, in small groups (up to 45 students) teachers can carry out a more practical teaching in which different strategies can be implemented: problem-based learning, cooperative learning, workshops, seminars, etc.). Knowledge is built through interaction and work guided by the students and the teacher. STUDENT INDIVIDUAL WORK: This is the student's individual work outside the classroom and consists of self-study, solving exercises and problems, individual work, etc. METHODOLOGY PRACTICAL LEARNING BASED ON CASES AND PROBLEMS, AND EXERCISE RESOLUTION: In this case, the teacher poses a set of problems that the students must solve.
