They constitute an important part of the student's face-to-face activity and are developed through a mainly expository method, trying, however, to involve the student, insofar as this is possible, in the development stage of the exposed topic, providing them with the opportunity to ask questions and express ideas, thus leading, by indirect influence, to the learning process. The exhibition is carried out with the support of audiovisual and computer media and is structured in the following stages: introduction, development, summary and bibliographic orientation. They are taught for the entire group.
Following the guidelines of the Center's Head of Studies, the lectures have a real duration of 1h50m, with an intermediate break of around half the class and 10 minutes of courtesy between class and class. Punctuality is requested. The teacher can establish time limits to this punctuality (in this guide there is some reference to this situation) depending on the development of the course in order to have access to the classroom. The attendance control can be carried out by the teacher at the time that he considers appropriate during the class. There may be several attendance checks during the class. It is recalled that such assistance is active and not only in person. Attendance must be complete and not partial (sign and leave).
It is intended to state that not all the syllabus of the subject has to be developed by direct presentation of it by the teaching staff. The exhibition will focus on those aspects that are considered more important or complex to acquire independently by the student. Thus, various sections of the syllabus must be prepared by the student himself. Controls are established that allow both student self-evaluation and teacher supervision of the knowledge acquired.
For this development, the student is provided with reference teaching material, as well as recommended and specific bibliography, normally based on the means that the EUAT offers in its library.
During the development of the course there may be various controls and questionnaires under ICT platforms, in order to include student self-assessment criteria, which allows them to know their degree of assimilation of content in order to take the appropriate teaching measures. In the case of activating these activities, they are communicated in a timely manner during the course. There are also rubric-type documents that allow students to monitor their acquisition of knowledge.
Problem solving These classes are taught for the subgroups of the subject and their development is in accordance with the specific programming at each moment. In this way its contents can be:
-Practical resolution of problems related to the subject. This resolution can be carried out by the teacher, by the students or in a mixed way.
-Theoretical-practical work. On the basis of bibliographic references, the development of parts of the subject is deepened.
-Follow-up of subject practices.
These activities are designed for students who attend the course continuously from the beginning of the course, and are a fundamental basis for acquiring knowledge about it. In the first days, possible subgroups and practical topics to be developed are established, being part of the base of these common topics for the entire course, so it is essential to comply with the assistance in this specific period.
The duration of these classes is 1.50 hours without intermediate break. The teacher can prevent access to the classroom or not collect a certain practical activity for a student who intends to enter the classroom with an excessive delay, damaging the collaborative work in the classroom. In any case, arrival at an interactive class with a delay of more than half an hour is considered NOT TO BE CARRIED OUT. This is extendable to the delivery of said activity, unless authorized by the teacher.
Three types of practical activities are initially established.
-Class practices: Developed during classes for subgroups, being delivered, where appropriate, during the same class or the next, as deemed appropriate at all times. They can be of purely practical content or contain theoretical development. Although they are individual, their resolution is done collaboratively and assisted by the teacher. It is intended that they are linked to the course practice.
-Possibility of special class practices: Depending on the teaching needs of the course, specific practices can be established as a summary of parts of the subject, carried out individually by the student and delivered during said class. The adoption of this model would be specifically indicated during the first weeks of the course based on the previous diagnosis of knowledge that is had at a given moment.
-Course practice: It is developed throughout the course as autonomous work of the student, although follow-up controls will be carried out with partial deliveries throughout the semester. It tries to confront the student with a real structure, beyond a mere partial analysis, thus specifying the knowledge acquired to the problems of the usual building. The various deliveries are tailored to the actual progress of the course. The development of this course practice is individual or in a small group, as established at the beginning of the course. Part of the class practices will deal with specific problems of this course practice.
In the Moddle platform of the subject, the specific conditions for this type of practice and its characteristics will be made explicit.
Mixed objective/subjective test Mandatory final exam for all students, in order to demonstrate the ability acquired in the various subjects.
