5.1. Methodological overview

The learning process designed for this module is based in the following:

Theoretical classes for explaining the concepts and fundamentals of the module, and the modes of reasoning and argumentation in general and in particular cases.

Problem resolution as a way to put these concepts into practice.

Class notes and exercises will be available to the students in the Anillo Digital Docente of the Universidad de Zaragoza.

5.2. Learning tasks

The course includes 6 ECTS organized according to:

- Theory sessions (4 ECTS): 40 hours

- Problem sessions (1.7 ECTS): 17 hours

- Assesments (0.3 ECTS): 3 hours
