| Methodologies |
| Description | |
| Introductory activities | Activities designed to make contact with students, collect information from them and introduce the subject. |
| Problem solving, classroom exercises | Formulation, analysis, resolution and debate of a problem or exercise related to the topic of the subject. |
| Lecture | Description of the contents of the subject. |
| Field work/trips | Visit a company and seminar related to the contents of the subject. |
| Personal tuition | Meet students individually to guide them in the acquisition of technical and social skills. |
| Personalized attention |

| Assessment |
| Description | Weight | ||
| Problem solving, classroom exercises | During the problems sessions some individual exercises will be performed under the supervision of the teacher, and the student will be asked to submit them to the teacher after the session to be corrected and evaluated | 30% | |
| Practical tests | Discussion and solving of an open problem or case, which can be performed individually or in groups | 30% | |
| Mixed tests | Final test that combines exercices, questions to develop, short objective questions and / or multiple choice tests | 40% | |
| Other comments and second exam session | |||
|
To average, minimum grade of each section is 4. For the second call, the final exam will account for 70% of the grade. The remaining 30% will come from continuous assessment: 30% of solving a problem or open case. During testing assessment, mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices that are not expressly authorized for the test must be switched off and out of sight. |
