5.1. Methodological overview
In the process of learning, different teaching methods will be used including lectures. More participatory techniques by the student training will be also used. This second type of activities allows student involvement in the learning process and lets the teacher notice the problems and concerns that may arise in the various topics.
In addition to the scheduled classes, the student must make an effort to manage and be familiar with the basic content of the course with the continued help of the textbooks.
5.2. Learning tasks
1:Lectures: with the main objective of conveying the fundamental concepts of the subject, so that goals set by the teacher are achieved. The lecture is expected to be participatory and to encourage debate and clarify issues and questions based on the student handbook, the supporting literature for the course and materials provided in the Digital Platform (ADD).
2:Resolution and presentation of case studies, preparation and presentation of papers, discussiontopics, and readings.
3:Tutorials and evaluation that allow a more direct and personal support to students in order to monitor tasks, prepare and produce reports, answer questions and guide them in the study and resolution of exercise activities. These tutorials may be individual or in a group.
