Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Theoretical contents will be taught following the instructional strategy called “flipped
classroom”. That strategy reverses the traditional learning environment by delivering
instructional content, outside of the classroom. Teachers will send their students the
theoretical contents in advance by means of the Moodle platform. At the beginning of
the class-hours, possible doubts on the contents given in advance will be solved;
after that, a test (available in Moodle) will be carried out to check whether everything
has been understood.
Supervised projects Semiannual practice exposed at the beginning of the semester and separated in several sections, each one of which constitutes an application block of the contents given in the lectures. This practice is realized in group, assuming a colaborative work and sharing decisions.
In each one of the separated blocks of the tutoring work, the student has to do an individual research work about the subject treated in the block.
Contemplating individual tutoring of the student about the tutoring work, in its presential development as well as in non presential.

Objective test It is a theoretical / practical test used for the evaluation of learning, whose distinctive feature is the possibility of determining if the student has reached the expected level of learning.
