Students must organize themselves in groups to carry out several practical work where they must put into practice the knowledge, skills and good attitudes gained progressively during the delivery of the subject. The teaching methodology will be based on: 1. Theoretical classes with support of computer and audiovisual media, in which the main concepts of the subject are developed and the materials and bibliography are provided to complement the students' learning. 2. Practices. Resolution of practical cases, problems and so on, raised by the teacher individually or in groups. 3. Assistance to tutorials.

The schedule and days of class enabled for the tutorials will be published before the start of the course in the Aula Global system. The tutorials must be done outside of class time, so that the resolution of doubts that do not have to do with the content of a specific class does not reduce time to its delivery.
