| Description |
The didactic methodology proposed for this course relies on the individual work of the student, which is the main responsible of the educational process. Nevertheless, it is of crucial importance to achieve a close interaction between the student and the instructor, which will guide the student throughout the process. Thanks to this interaction and the different assessment activities planned for the course the instructor will determine the extent to which the student has achieved the objectives of each topic and provide appropriate advice individually. This guidance will take place at the tutoring hours of the lecturer (the timetable will be indicated at the beginning of the course) or at any other moment agreed by the student and the instructor. Students can ask for additional tutoring sessions if required.
Those students having a part-time dedication to the course, and thus waiver of assistance to the on-site academic activities according to the regulations of UDC, follow different dynamics that require additional personalized attention. The waiver applied to each student is fixed after a personal interview with the instructor on the basis of the student's personal circumstances. The tutoring sessions are scheduled in this interview upon agreement between the student and the instructor, who fixes the number of problem-solving workshops to be graded using this methodology and the deadlines for the presentation of the problem-sheets. The grade obtained by the student in these activities will correspond to the average of the grades achieved for each workshop. The tutoring sessions focus on discussions about the contents of the course and revision of the problem sheets solved by the student. The student might also have short tests to assess the degree of compliance with the objectives of the course. |
