Throughout the fourteen weeks of class, six evaluable exercises will be proposed that students must solve to delve into the content taught during the face-to-face sessions. Students will have 7 days to solve the exercises. These will be published in Aula Global immediately after the delivery of the following face-to-face sessions: - Exercise 1: session 2 - Exercise 2: session 4 - Exercise 3: session 7 - Exercise 4: session 9 - Exercise 5: session 10 - Exercise 6: session 13 Three multiple choice questionnaires will be carried out during the classes. The questionnaires will be face-to-face but will require the use of a mobile / computer / tablet. The dates and contents of the questionnaires will be: - Test 1: March 7 (items 1-5) - Test 2: April 10 (issues 6-9) - Test 3: May 16 (items 10-16) Students may request by email all those tutorials (individual or in small groups) that they believe are necessary to properly assimilate the concepts taught in class.
