Learning activities and methodology
* Theoretical lectures: 0,5 ECTS. To achieve the specific cognitive competences of the course. Besides, to develop transversal competeces as capacity to analysis and abstraction. * Practical lectures: 0,5 ECTS. To develop the specific instrumental competences. Besides, to develop transversal competeces as problem solving and knowledge application. * Continous assessment exercises: 0,5 ECTS. Iniciated during the practical sessions and finished out of them. Their objective is to complete the development of the specific instrumental competences and to iniciate the developemnt of the actitudinals specific competences as well as the transveral competeces on problem solving and knowledge application. * Practice: 1 ECTS. Carried out withouth the presence of the teacher. Their objective is to complete and integrate the development of the specific competences and transversal competences by means of practice cases in which the problem, solving method, criteria for selecting the solving method, the results and their interpretation are well documented. * Tutorships: Teacher assistance * Exercises and examination: 0,5 ECTS. To complete the development of specific cognitive and procedimental capacities
