Methodologies

Methodologies	Description
Seminar	Given that the tutorials will be essentially face-to-face, they may be partially carried out with virtual success
Oral presentation	Realización de traballos, tanto individualmente, como en grupo, sobre temas científicos relacionados coas distintas materias do Máster. Exposición oral de traballos, informes, etc., incluíndo debate con profesores e alumnos
Mixed objective/subjective test	The final tests will be face-to-face
Guest lecture / keynote speech	An expository and interactive teaching will be face-to-face. However, and with exceptional success, in order to facilitate the compatibility of teaching activities and the gradual development of the teaching skills of teachers and students, face-to-face teaching can be combined with virtual teaching in a maximum of 10% of cases. the total hours of the subject. In any case, this limitation will not apply to titles whose reports include a higher percentage

Methodologies

Seminar

Description

The proposed teaching methodology is based on student work, which thus becomes the main protagonist of the teaching-learning process. In order for the student to obtain an optimal performance of his effort, it is essential that there is a continuous and close student-teacher interaction, so that the latter can guide the former in this process. This interaction will be given in a special way in the workshops and problem solving sessions. Through the student-teacher interaction, as well as the different evaluation activities, it will be determined to what extent the students have achieved the competence objectives established in each thematic unit, and will decide the students who need personalized attention through individualized tutorials. Therefore, teachers may periodically invite students to tutorials, which will be held at the most appropriate times for each student, with the intention that they receive the necessary guidance. Regardless of the tutorials proposed by the teachers, students can attend the tutorial, at their own request, as many times as they wish, and at the time that is most appropriate for them
