Throughout the lectures, the main contents of the subject will be presented, encouraging student participation throughout the sessions, stimulating discussion on the different topics covered. In addition, this participation will be promoted by carrying out exercises in the classroom. In order to consolidate some of the concepts of the syllabus, the classes will be supported by experimental tests, both in the computer classroom and using tools and/or different technological elements. In addition, a project will be proposed. Part of this work will be developed throughout some of the sessions of the subject and with the help of the teachers of the subject. In order to be able to use the techniques learnt in the theoretical sessions, two laboratory practicals will be carried out analysing different practical cases. The student will be informed via Aula Global of a personalised tutoring schedule, with the aim of resolving any doubts that the student may have about the contents covered in the course.
