Methodologies

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.

Personalized attention

Problem solving, classroom exercises Lecture

Description In the personalized attention, personal communication between the teacher and the student will be enhanced, aimed at guiding the student's study in the subject and at knowing and developing their motivations and attitudes. In this activity, the teacher resolves doubts and raises questions to discuss, analyzes the student's progress and consistency, recommends work methods in the subject, proposes individual or group work, and guides and moderates the discussion of the results obtained by the students.

Assessment

	Description	Qualification
Assignments	Work Preparation and presentation of work	10
Laboratory practicals	Assistance and delivery of reports	20
Extended-answer tests	A written exam with questions that require a complete development of the topics to be evaluated. Knowledge and understanding of the subject to resolve practical issues. The exam will assess the student's ability to solve problems	70
Others	It is necessary to pass the exam to take into account the grade for practices and assignments in the final grade for the subject.
