Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

1. Lectures: Given to the whole group, basically given by the teacher, in such a way as to explain the theoretical supports of the subject.
2. Practical lessons: The teacher solves problems or practical cases for illustrative purposes. This type of teaching complements the theory explained in the lectures with practical aspects.
3. Laboratory practice tasks. Students will carry out tests, measurements, joint assemblies, etc., in the workshop and in the laboratory in the presence of the trainee teacher.
4. Individual tutorials. On-site activities related to any issues of the subject at a specific agreed on time or via the Moodle virtual classroom.

5.2. Learning tasks

Theoretical / practical lessons. Two or four hours a week, until the 46 hours needed to cover the syllabus are completed.

Lab practice tasks. Seven sessions will be held with two hours per session with subgroups adapted to the laboratory capacity.

Study and personal work. This off-site part is given about 90 hours, necessary for the study of the theory, problem solving and questionnaires, work production and revision of scripts.

Tutorials and generic off-site activities. Each teacher will publish student service timetable throughout the four-month perio
