AF1. THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL CLASSES. Knowledge and concepts students must acquire. They will receive course notes and will have basic reference texts to help class understanding and subsequent development of working. Students partake in exercises to resolve practical problems. They will perform assessments to acquire necessary abilities. Subjects with 6 credits have 44 hours with 100% on-site instruction. AF2. TUTORING SESSIONS. Individualized attendance (individual tutoring) or in-group (group tutoring) for students with a teacher. Subjects with 6 credits have 4 hours of tutoring with 100% on- site attendance. AF3. STUDENT INDIVIDUAL WORK OR GROUP WORK. Subjects with 6 credits have 98 hours with 0% on-site attendance. AF8. WORKSHOPS AND LABORATORY SESSIONS. Subjects with 6 credits have 8 hours with 100% on-site instruction. AF9. FINAL EXAM. Global assessment of knowledge, skills, and capacities acquired throughout the course. It entails 4 hours with 100% on-site attendance. AF8. WORKSHOPS AND LABORATORY SESSIONS. Subjects with 6 credits have 8 hours with 100% on-site instruction. MD1. THEORY CLASS. Classroom presentations by the teacher with IT and audiovisual support in which the subject`s main concepts are developed, while providing material and bibliography to complement student learning. MD2. PRACTICAL CLASS. Resolution of practical cases and problems, posed by the teacher, and carried out individually or in group. MD3. TUTORING SESSIONS. Individualized attendance (individual tutoring sessions) or in-group (group tutoring sessions) for students with teacher as tutor. Subjects with 6 credits have 4 hours of tutoring with 100% on-site attendance. MD6. LABORATORY PRACTICAL SESSIONS. Applied/experimental learning/teaching in workshops and laboratories under the tutor's supervision.
