Basic Education
5.2. Learning tasks
The syllabus offered to the students to help them achieve the learning results of this subject comprises the following activities
1) Theoretical classes: The participatory lecture model will be used. This model offers the lecturer the possibility of highlighting the most important aspects of each lesson, controlling the time given to explanation and guiding the students in the study of the subject. The lecturer will promote the participation of students by raising questions and presenting examples during the class. In this way, students will be able to discuss, think about and solve the problems in pairs and, finally, they will share their ideas with the rest of the class. The materials for this subject will be available at http://moodle2.unizar.es before the theoretical classes to make it easier for the students to follow the class. (NOTE: the theoretical lessons and the practical examples and exercises will be available on the e-learning platform, but not the solutions).
2) Practical classes (the group will be split into two): These will consist of solving practical exercises. The scheme will be as follows:
a) The practical exercises will be available at http://moodle2.unizar.es before the practical classes.
b) Students will solve the exercises at home.
c) The teacher will ask for volunteers to solve the different parts.
3) Tutorial hours: Students will have times for tutorials with the teachers of their group. They will also have the possibility of submitting queries by e-mail.
4) Personal work: It is essential that students distribute this workload throughout the term in order to assimilate the contents. This will make the learning of subsequent lessons easier.
5) Use of ICTs as study and learning tools: The online learning platform “Moodle” will be used to post the syllabus, materials and practical exercises of the subject. Likewise, students will be provided with this teaching guide and other information that may be useful for them (announcements about practical classes, news of interest, and so on).
6) Exams: See the “Assessment” section.
