| Methodologies | Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | We will invite relevant engineers and managers from the IT industry, in order to give the students guest lectures aligned with the contents of the course. |
| Case study | We will review real world projects and discuss how the theoretical content that we have studied in the lectures is applied there. We plan to focus mostly on open source projects, as we have full access to the design material and source code. |
| Objective test | Written exam, where the student will need to show both the theoretical knowledge acquired, and the capacity to resolve practical problems. |
| Workshop | Practical discussion, analysis and design sessions, with the students organized in groups, supervised by the teacher. |
| Workbook | The teacher will provide the student with relevant book chapters and articles, related to the theoretical content of the lectures, and the student will need to do a critical read of them, and prepare an executive summary that will be either reviewed by the teacher or by the whole classroom, depending on the case. |
| Laboratory practice | Practical design and coding exercises, with the students organized in groups, supervised by the teacher. |
| Events academic / information | We will complement the theoretical and practical lectures with attendance (either onsite or virtually) to conferences related to software design and development. |
| Online forum | All the topics discussed in lectures, workshops and practical lab time will have a follow up in the virtual forums. We will try to stimulate the discussion there and open new topics proposing links to extra content so that the students can complement their knowledge in the topics they have personal interest in. |
