5.1. Methodological overview
This subject is focused in applied technological knowledge. The skills acquired in it apply to professional practice and require internalization by the students.
The theoretical contents are taught with the support of ppt, animations, interactive examples, enlisting the active participation of students.
Professional contents of the subject are focused on the work with practical cases, using the tools that are supplied in the course. These tools will be available for further professional use by students. The informatics tools will be installed either in the computer room, where the subject is taught, or in the student `s personal computer.
The practical sessions will focus on training in the use of operational resources of the computer applications.
