Assignments Throughout the module, a number of assignments will be proposed: some of them will need to be prepared in advance and later presented in class and others will be proposed and done within class hours.
Personal attention Hours of attention to students in order to answer questions and solve doubts.

Personalized attention
Description
Personalised attention about contents and progress of students in the subject. They can take place before and after class, during visit hours or by email (mireia.valverde@urv.cat). For face-to-face visits, it is recommended to confirm a day and time in advance.
