The teaching methodology is based on a strong interaction teacher / student. This interaction is materialized by a division of labor / responsibilities among students and teachers.

• Classroom activities:

1. Theoretical classes: theoretical concepts of the subject will be explained and practical examples will be developed.
2. Tutored practices: Students will develop examples and case studies made reference to the theoretical concepts studied.
3. Assessment tests

• Tutored autonomous activities:

1. These activities will be tutored by teachers of the subject.
2. The student will be able to perform these activities in the center or outside, under the supervision of a teacher departmental area.

• Reinforcement activities:

1. Through tutorials and / or virtual learning portal Moodle various activities that reinforce the basic contents of the subject be addressed.

• Individual tutorials: That may be presential or virtual, as appropriate, to aid in the learning process.

• Face tutoring Group: Scheduled monitoring and complement learning in which the teacher meets with a group of students to guide their work autonomous learning and targeted protection work, with resolution of doubts activities.

It involves the active participation of students, so as to achieve the learning outcomes will be developed, non redound to the above, the following activities:

• face generic activities: 

1. Theorical classes: theorical concepts of the subject will be explained and illustrative practical examples to support the theory will be developed when deemed necessary.
2. Practical classes: problems and case studies to complement the theoretical concepts studied will be made.
3. Practices in class: Students using notes, rules and bibliography, will make practical, real work, in class, which will be delivered for review before finalizing it.
4. Magnas classes: on aspects covered in the course, taught by renowned professionals.
5. Visits: to companies and works in which to see firsthand linking the topics covered in the course with the professional reality. 

• not face generic activities: 

1. Study and assimilation of the theory presented in lectures.
2. Understanding and assimilation of the problems and solved in practical classes practical cases.
3. Autonomously resolution of problems and proposed examples.
4. Preparation of practices, information search, group meetings, preparation of scripts and reports.
5. Preparation of the written tests of continuous assessment and / or final exams overall assessment. 

• tutored autonomous activities: Although have more of a face character, have been taken into account in a differentiated manner because of its own idiosyncrasies, as they will be primarily focused on seminars and tutorials under the supervision of the teacher. 

• Reinforcement activities: In marked face character, and / or virtual through a virtual learning portal Moodle various activities that reinforce the basic contents of the subject in those aspects that will be directed deems appropriate.
