Learning activities and methodology
The docent methodology will include: - Master classes, where the knowledge that the students must acquire will be presented. To make easier the development of the class, the students will have the basic texts with precise references that will facilitate their subsequent work. - Resolution of exercises by the student that will serve as a self-evaluation and to acquire the necessary skills. - Problem classes, in which proposed problems are discussed and developed. - Mid term exams. - Final exam. - Tutorials.
