Workbook The nature of this course is blended. Following a presentation of the contents thereof, different ppt files and text for self-study student will be added to the distance learning moodle platform. These files are self-explanatory, but if necessary it may consult with teachers via email or in person
Field trip It raises at least one outlet to an industry / science center where views methodologies applied in the subject
Introductory activities In a single initial session the subject will be presented explaining its methodology and the evaluation method
Case study the student is faced with a hypothetical case to be resolved by applying the knowledge you gain from working the readings. In a first phase, the work will be done in groups, in a second phase to work individually.

Personalized attention
