C1 CMECES1 That students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that is based on general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study
C2 CMECES2 That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the development and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study.
C3 CMECES3 That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature.
C4 CMECES4 That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialised and non-specialised audience
C5 CMECES5 That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy

Methodologies
Methodologies   ::  
  Description
Problem solving, classroom exercises Problem posing and solving in the classroom.
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms Solving exercises with a computer.
Tutorship of group Monitoring of the student's learning process. Content review and problem-solving sessions will be held.
Lecture Theoretical presentations in which the lecturer introduces the concepts, results and methods of the discipline.

Personalized attention
 
Tutorship of group
Description
Complementary activities and tutoring for continuous assessment.

In addition to group tutorials, students may request individual tutorials. For this, it is recommended to make an appointment with the teacher by email or in person.

Assessment
  Description Qualification
Mixed tests Two partial written exams 38%, 42%
Objective multiple-choice tests On-line assessment tests 20%
 
Other comments and second call
In order to pass the course in the first call (ordinary call), by continuous assessment, it will be necessary to achieve a minimum mark of 20 points in both mid-term exams, including the mark for the online tests, and the final mark must be higher than 50 (out of 100).

Students who do not pass the first exam will have to sit the second call (extraordinary exam), which will consist of a single written exam with content from both parts.
