Methodology
The characteristics and methodology of autonomous work will depend on the center where the student will c arry out his/her practices.
The tutorial is based on explaining what external practices are and on monitoring the whole process.
In the event that the practices cannot be carried out on site, they will be adapted to an online format. The teacher and the external tutor will take care that the student can carry out the practices in safe sanitary conditions.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment
The evaluation is made from three elements:
1. The report of the practice tutor, which is based on a model developed by the University where the different aptitudes and attitudes of the student are valued. It is the part with the highest weight in the overall evaluation of PE.
2. The student's report describing what his/her practices consisted of, the results and how has been his/her experience. This report is delivered to the PE teacher.
3. At the end of the academic year, it will be necessary to make a public oral presentation in a brief academic session with other students.
It is the final point in the PE and the opportunity to share the experiences lived and what has been talked about during the tutorials.
