| Methodologies |
| Description | |
| Introductory activities | Activities designed to make contact with students, collect information from them and introduce the subject. |
| Lecture | Description of the contents of the subject. |
| Problem solving, exercises in the classroom | Formulation, analysis, resolution and debate of a problem or exercise related to the topic of the subject. |
| IT-based practicals | Practical application of the theory of a knowledge area in a particular context. Practical exercises using ICTs. |
| Personal attention | Time that each professor spends to discuss and resolve with the students their doubts. |
| Personalized attention |
| Description |
|
An attention hours schedule will be informed at the Moodle workspace. meetings will be live whenever possible but a virtual room will be open simultaneously. in addition, students can arrange a meeting through email if needed. |

| Problem solving, exercises in the classroom |
|
During the problem sessions some individual exercises will be performed under the supervision of the teacher, during the week the student will be asked to submit them to the teacher to be corrected and evaluated | 20 | ||||
| IT-based practicals |
|
Application of models and software to a case study | 35 | ||||
| Mixed tests |

| Other comments and second exam session | |||
|
To average, minimum grade of each section is 4. For the second call, the final report will account for 30% of the grade and the multiple choice exam 10%. The remaining 60% will come from continuous assessment and ICT practicals. 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. |
