THEORETICAL-HANDS-ON CLASSES. They will present the knowledge that students must acquire. They will receive the class notes and will have basic reference texts to facilitate the monitoring of the classes and the development of subsequent work. Exercises, practical problems will be solved by the student and workshops will be held to acquire the necessary skills. For subjects of 6 ECTS, 42 hours will be dedicated as a general rule with 100% attendance. TUTORIALS. Individualized assistance (individual tutorials) or in groups (collective tutorials) to students by the teacher. For subjects of 6 credits, 4 hours will be dedicated with 100% attendance. INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP WORK BY THE STUDENT. For subjects of 6 credits, 78 hours will be dedicated 0% face-to-face, but online tutorials. THEORY CLASS. Presentations in class by the teacher with the 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 learning of the students. PRACTICES. Resolution of practical cases, etc. raised by the teacher individually or in groups. TUTORIALS. Individualized assistance (individual tutorials) or in groups (collective tutorials) to students by the teacher.
