  Description
Introductory activities Presentation of the subject at the regular classroom.
Lecture Presentation of the contents of the subject.
Theory interspersed with meaningful examples.
Problem solving, exercises Face-to-face: Solving problems, test questions, examples of partial tests and students' doubts.
On-line: the Virtual Campus offers varied exercises to practice.
Previously to each partial exam there is a problem submission that is graded.
Personal attention Individual attention or in small groups in the teachers' office and/or in the Virtual Campus forum. Email attention is also offered.

Personalized attention
Description

Professors' office hours to solve students’ doubts. Face-to-face and online meetings can be appointed by email from student addresses "name.surname@estudiants.urv.cat". Other online contact procedures such as sharing questions and answers at the Virtual Campus forums, where students can interact under the professors supervision, are also available. In addition to individual meetings, small groups sessions can also be appointed.

Other comments and second exam session

The second call will consist of an exam (test and/or problems) of the entire syllabus with a weight of 100%.

The exams will be carried out normally in written form, face-to-face in a classroom. During the exams, students cannot use any communication and data transmission device unless they receive express instructions from the supervising professors allowing their use. Any communication with other persons during an exam must be expressly authorized by the professors supervising it.

In order to verify the identity of the students, to guarantee their evaluation rights, and to provide them with the necessary support, both online exams and online personalized attention may require the remote viewing of images provided by the communication devices used. The students must notify the people they live with of such circumstances and recommend that they not enter their surroundings during exams and consultations. In any case, the URV is not responsible for the accidental viewing of images that may affect the private and family life of the student. The student is not allowed to capture images without express authorization. If the professors deem it appropriate, they may ask students to show an identification document to prove their identity.
