  Description
Introductory activities Activities to make contact and to collect information of the students and presentation of the subject.
Reading written documents and graphs Reading and work of published documentation in several formats. This can be selected or elaborated by the teaching staff, with the aim of facilitating the student’s development of the more theoretical skills and those knowledge necessary for the development of practical activities.
Projects Work guided and supervised by teachers that takes place in different phases. Such as: identification of a problem or object of study, review and critical analysis of different sources of information, definition of objectives or hypotheses, methodology and work plan, collection of information, analysis and conclusions. It can be individual or group and have different levels of complexity.
Lecture Presentation of the most outstanding contents of the subject.
Personal attention Time that each teacher has reserved to attend and resolve doubts to students. This attention can be done in person, through the forum of doubts of the subject and / or video-conference.

Personalized attention
Description

CAT: Temps que cada professor té reservat per atendre i resoldre dubtes als alumnes. L’atenció a l’estudiant es podrà realitzar mitjançant reunions on line, en horaris concertats prèviament per correu electrònic, o mitjançant altres eines virtuals.

ESP: Tiempo que cada profesor tiene reservado para atender y resolver dudas a los alumnos. La atención al estudiante se podrá realizar mediante reuniones on line, en horarios concertados previamente por correo electrónico, o mediante otras herramientas virtuales.

Eng: Time that each teacher has reserved to attend and resolve doubts to students. Student attention can be done through online meetings, at pre-arranged times by email, or through other virtual tools.
