| Methodologies |
| Description | |
| Introductory activities | Introduction to the subject and general planning: sources of information, schedule of tests and exams, standards necessary to follow the subject satisfactorily |
| Problem solving, exercises in the classroom | from the list provided to prepare the subject |
| Lecture | About the specific contents of the subject. Emphasis will be placed on practical aspects |
| Personal attention | To make it easier for the student to profitably follow the subject, individual feedback will be given through the exercises corrected in moodle and the resolution of doubts. |
| Personalized attention |
| Description |
|
To advise the student in his work, consultation hours will be held in person or online, at the convenience of both parties. Appointments must be made in advance via moodle. Questions will not be resolved by email. For teachers' availability times, consult the subject's moodle . |
