Learning activities and methodology
- Lectures (0,6 ECTS). They are aimed at achieving the specific cognitive competencies of the course. The fundamental ideas of the subject will be presented. - Seminars (0,3 ECTS). They have the purpose of complementing the acquisition of specific cognitive competencies. In addition, they develop some transversal competencies such as the capacity of analysis and synthesis and teamwork. - Practical classes (0,8 ECTS). They develop the specific instrumental competencies and most transversal competencies, such as teamwork, the ability to apply knowledge to practice, planning and organizing, and analyzing and synthesizing. They also aim to develop specific attitudinal skills. - Directed Academic Activities (4.3 ECTS) -- With the presence of the professor. Participation in classes oriented by the professor where aspects of the subject are deepened and evaluated. Evaluation tests of theoretical and practical knowledge. -- Without the presence of the professor. Exercises, complementary readings proposed by the professor, preparation of classes, practice. Participation in the SPOC of the course. - Tutorials: Individualized assistance (individual tutorials) or in group (collective tutorials) to the students by the professor.
