Basic

The material of the whole syllabus will be made available to the student at the beginning of the session so that in these classes he/she will be limited to attend, assimilate and associate concepts of Operations Management, in such a way that they can be participative. For this purpose, it is recommended that the student comes to the session with some previous knowledge derived from a preliminary reading. The Moodle platform will serve as a support for teaching and also as a means of agile communication and sending the required material to the student.

It would be interesting for the student to have the following prior knowledge: Mastering oral expression (to know how to give an opinion and debate correctly) as well as written expression, in order to avoid writing and spelling mistakes. In addition, it is not superfluous to have a certain basic knowledge of arithmetic and general culture, as well as certain acquired behaviors of civility and good manners.
