Methodologies |
Description | |
Problem solving, classroom exercises | In problem classes the teacher proposes a series of questions or problems that the student will study in advance and hand in and/or solve in class, promoting their reasoning ability and participation. |
Laboratory practicals | The teacher explains the objectives indicated in the script that is given to the student and the student will carry out the practice under the supervision of the teacher. |
Presentations / expositions | Exhibition of work done in small groups of students |
Assignments | Academic assignments related to the subject syllabus that will be delivered through the Moodle platform. |
Lecture | Presentation by the teacher of the most relevant training objectives and content of each topic. The student will be previously provided with a summary of the topic to be developed. The student must acquire the basic knowledge that enables him to achieve the specific skills of the subject. |
