Learning activities and methodology
The learning methodology consists on the following elements: -Lecture classes: Presentation of the main concepts, with their justification and examples. The instructor will illustrate the methodologies with the computer and real or simulated data. Discussion of the concepts with the students. Discussion of the questions and doubts aroused during the self learning process. (PO i y g) -Exercises classes: Classes devoted to solving exercises in small groups. (PO a y b) -Lab classes: In a computer room, the students, in small groups, solve data analysis problems using a statistical package. Also, students use the computer to solve exercises and conceptual problems. (PO a, b, i y g)
