Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The learning process that has been designed for this course is based on the following:

The proposed methodology seeks to foster continued student work and it focuses on the practical aspects of the subject.

In sessions with the whole group the basics are treated as theoretical and practical class with immediate applications through examples and student participation is encouraged. Case management is done in group sessions with the party group.The assessment focuses more on the practical aspects.

Some materials for this subject will be available at http://moodle2.unizar.es for the students enrolled in the subject.

5.2. Learning tasks

The program offered to the students to help them achieve the learning results includes the following activities:

1. CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES:

• 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.

• 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 promote the participation of students and will solve the different parts in class

• Two theoretical and practical controls: It is expected to control at the end of each group of homogeneous items. It will be a classic assessment performed individually

• Tutorial hours: Students will have times for tutorials with the teacher. They will also have the possibility of submitting queries by e-mail.

• Completion of written exams

2. NON CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES:

• 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, forum questions, place of study and debate, news of interest, and so on).

• Personal work: Students will solve autonomously five exercises at home (PNP) to submit in a timely manner established in Moodle and part of the ongoing evaluation. Qualification will be validated with two face-examinations. 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.

• Voluntary activities: will be established and communicated in Moodle
