Methodology

The subject will be developed through active and participatory teaching methodologies that help the student to assimilate the knowledge, competences and learning objectives of the subject. The cooperative work as well as the autonomous work will be promoted, strengthening the interrelation between student and teacher; as well as the interdisciplinarity that will give the opportunity to expand concepts between diverse matters.

Evaluation

The evaluation of the subject will be divided n two different parts, one per each exercice. The final grade will be the average between both deliveries. The subject will be failed if one of those exercises is failed or not delivered, and it will have to be recovered by delivering the exercise properly done. The students work will be properly traces and guided with feedbacks and punctual deliverires.
