Methodologies
Methodologies   ::  
  Description
Problem solving, classroom exercises The professor will guide students in applying theoretical concepts and results to problem solving, encouraging critical thinking at all times. Exercises will be proposed and students will solve them, thus acquiring skills in using the necessary tools for problem solving.
Tutorship of group To guide the student in his learning so that he becomes an autonomous, competent and critical learner in his workplace.
Lecture Theoretical classes in which the theoretical foundations of the subject are exposed, reasoned and deduced. At the end of each section, simple exercises will be solved to clarify the theory explained.

Personalized attention
 
Tutorship of group
Description
By appointment, the professor will attend to the student. He'll clear up any doubts the student may have.

Assessment
  Description Qualification
Mixed tests 1.- 80%
2.- 20%
 
Other comments and second call

It will be mandatory to obtain a score of 5 out of 10 in each of the tests.

In the second call, the results of the tests taken throughout the semester will be valid, although it is not obligatory to have taken them. In the case of non-participation in the tests, the grade of the final exam will be 100% of the evaluation.
