Learning activities and methodology
Theoretical and practical methodology with very active student participation in the teaching model, with the activities of various kinds, to improve the learning inside and outside the classroom as well as with/without teacher supervision: - Theory Lectures with the objective of acquire the cognitive specific competences. (PO a h j) - Practical lectures: Academic activities supervised by the teacher. They develop instrumental/procedural and attitudinal specific competences as well as most of the transversal ones. They are supervised lectures guided and monitored through individual tutoring or in small groups. Students will support the resolution of use cases in different scenarios of information systems by applying methodological approaches with the acquired knowledge. (PO b c e k) - Exam with the aim of influencing the development of specific cognitive and procedural competences. (PO a e k)
