Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech We present the contents of the subject. Examples of applications are developed and related activities are proposed.
Document analysis We discuss the different notations in mathematics. The sources of information are commented: books, magazines, webpages.
Problem solving
With them we move from theory to practice. Specific problems of the subject developed in the lectures are solved.
Mixed objective/subjective test They are useful to determine the degree of knowledge that students get at classes and with their personal study. It may consist of an explanation of any content of the course, the answer of test questions, the resolution of theoretical and practical issues and developing solutions to issues involving deep knowledge of the subject.
Laboratory practice Its aim is to apply computer programs to solve problems commented in the lectures.

Personalized attention
Methodologies
Problem solving
Guest lecture / keynote speech
Laboratory practice
Description
The personal attention allows to adapt the study to the level of knowledge and competence of each student. Individual attention of the students optimizes time spent studying and allows correct misconceptions.

Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Problem solving A6 We will formulate practical issues in which students have to seek a solution to a given problem. 20
Mixed objective/subjective test A6 B1 B4 C1 They are tests made for measuring the level of knowledge of the subject by students. They do not have a defined profile, as they can range from test questions in which the student must only choose one answer among the options proposed, or solving problems involving an action strategy or theoretical questions that reflect the degree of knowledge of the subject. 75
Laboratory practice A6 B6 B4 Students should know the functioning of a computer program that helps resolve mechanical problems raised previously. 5
 
Assessment comments

The final grade of the subject consists of three parts:

i) Problem solving: It's made through written tests and the development of classes in the classroom, where the teacher assesses individually the degree of knowledge of the subject of each student. This part represents 20% of the grade.

ii) performing laboratory practice, where students will learn to use the software that provides the teacher. This part represents 5% or qualification.

iii) Mixed objective/subjective test. This part represents 75% of the grade for students, and it´s broken down as follows: 35% lessons 1 and 2, 35% lessons 3,4 and 5, 5% tasks related to laboratory practices.

Part-time students with academic dispensation are valued paragraph i) in official examinations, and 5% corresponding with activities related to laboratory practices of paragraph iii) by a practical test.

Other comments
<p> The student must know the content of the subjects of Mathematics studied at ESO and high school. Those students from Profesional Learning should study the basic concepts related to applications, functions and integration of real functions of real variable, which are contained in the curricula of high school, and are not in Profesional Learning. </p>
