Methodology

In the teaching of this subject, theory and practice are merged. In order for learning to develop correctly, students will have an active participation inside and outside the classroom. In this way, conceptual and practical topics are seen in the workshops and visits planned. This implies an active participation, as the students will become the protagonist of their own learning process.

The Moodle virtual campus platform will be the basic tool for this learning process, and will also be the communication instrument between teachers and students and vice versa. In this virtual space, in addition to uploading the syllabus of the subject, debates will take place, where students will have the material visible, the links of interest, the tasks to be carried out (individually or collectively) and where they will be able to know their evolution both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Note: 15 minutes of a class, within the timetable established by the centre/qualification, will be set aside for students to complete the teacher evaluation and subject/module evaluation surveys

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.
