  Description
PBL (Problem Based Learning) During the progress of the agenda and in certain parts of it, the teacher will use the system of problem-based learning by proposing case studies related to the topic discussed, for their resolution by the students in groups or in a single way and explain the results privately or through public exposure. This will look for a better understanding of the concepts and issues arising in their practical treatment, the use of basic tools and the capacity of analysis, teamwork and public explaining of the work done
Personal tuition Personal tuition sessions are based on the official calendar and may be mandatory, with two purposes, the first one, carrying out track work and case studies that require advice or consultation with the teacher and their explaining, but also in some cases it may be for doing evaluating tests. The second one, personal tuition will help answer questions from students of the subject discussed in class.

Assignments
Presentations / expositions
Lecture This optional course is taught throughout the second quarter, three days a week, two of them in lectures of 1 hour and a half each, and the third session for personal tuition. Most of topics will be developed in theoretical and conceptual terms which are necessary to address some practical application based on real situations that may occur in the markets in which they require the active participation of students, both in the form of questions or issues that students can pose or as questions and debates generated by the teacher to analyze each situation presented. Also, the teacher will recommend supporting literature about explained topics, so that each student is able to deepen and complete their training with it.
