Description |
| Introductory activities |
Presentation of the course: description of the contents and objectives. Course plannig and evaluation criteria. Literature. |
| Lecture |
Sessions that will present the fundamental concepts of the course uing conventional exposition, examples and case studies. All material used will be provided to students using the moodle workspace.
|
| Problem solving, exercises in the classroom |
Application, at a practical level, of the theory of a knowledge area in a certain context. Practical exercises using real situations. |
| Personal attention |
Personal meetings scheduled with the professor to provide further help and guidance to the students individually, both in presential mode at the professor office or using e-mail. |
|
Description |
|
Teaching professors will be available at his office during scheduled time. Also students can use the professor e-mail or moodle to ask for assistance at any time.

Other comments and second exam session |
|
The second call will take place in the time scheduled by the center. This session will develop a short exercise and the mark achieved will replace individual tests. Others components in the evaluation will be maintained. During testing assessment, mobile phones, tablets and other devices that are not expressly authorized for the test must be switched off and out of sight |
