Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech 1. Classroom lectures about the theoretical and practical contents of the subject to guide the student in its preparation.

2. The time spent in each one of the subject chapters will be proportional to the difficulty level and to the length of those chapters. Thus, some chapters will take more time than others. The teacher is responsible of deciding how many time spend in each one of the subject chapters.

3. For preparing those chapters with thw lowest level of difficulty, the student should study the bibliography, although in the lectures the student will be orientated about:
a) which are the bibliographic sources to study
b) which are the most relevant and interesting issues to reach the learning goals set for the subject.

4. Discussion, together with all the workgroups, of the homework of each one of the workgroups. The student can participate: a) by his or her own, after being given the floor; b) after being required by the teacher to participate.
Problem solving 1. Development, exposition and resolution of practical exercises to be made by the student, being part of a workgroup, throghout the course.

2. Exercises and readings to be made by the student by his or herself. In subsequent classes:
a) a review of the exercises will be made. In this review, the student can participate as stated in the point 3.
b) a question time about the readings will be opened.

3. The student can participate: a) on his or her own, after being given the floor; b) after being required by the teacher to participate.
Practical test: During the class period, one or more tests of continuous evaluation will be carried out, which will not be liberating.
Mixed objective/subjective test At the end of the classes, the theoretical-practical exam of all the contents of the subject, which is held first and second time
Seminar Small group discussion of the subject contents to be held preferably via Teams. Specifically, the discussion will focus on the exercises and readings described in the previous "Problem solving" statement.

Both the format (face-to-face or remote) and the dates will be determined according to the advance in the exercises and readings described in the previous "Problem solving" statement.

The student can participate: a) on his or her own, after being given the floor; b) after being required by the teacher to participate.

Problem solving
Description
1. In the guest lectures and keynote speechs the student can participate, after being given the floor, to ask, clarify or explain his or her point of view about the issues being dealed with in the moment of his participation.

2. In the problem solving classes the student can participate as described in the Methodologies section.

3. In the tutorials, the student (including those with partial attending or with attending exemption) can ask about the doubts arisen in the preparation of the subject. Although it is not compulsory, the student can ask about the doubts and the data and time -inside the tutorials schedule- in which he or she wants to be received, thus improving the tutorials effectiveness and management.

4. If the questions dealed with in the individual tutorials are of a general interest, from the point of view of the teacher, they could be published in Moodle, together with their answers, to allow other students a better preparation of the subject. The name of the person who made the question will never be published.

Other comments

1. The delivery of the documentary works carried out in this subject:

  • It will be requested in virtual format and / or computer support
  • It will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print it

2. The importance of ethical principles related to sustainability values in personal and professional behavior must be taken into account.

3. Work will be done to identify and modify prejudices and sexist attitudes and the environment will be influenced to modify them and promote values of respect and equality. Actions to fix gender discrimination, when detected, will be proposed.

Según se recoge en las distintas normativas de aplicación para la docencia universitaria se deberá incorporar la perspectiva de género en esta materia. Se trabajará para identificar y modificar prejuicios y actitudes sexistas y se influirá en el entorno para modificarlos y fomentar valores de respeto e igualdad. Se deberán detectar situaciones de discriminación por razón de género y se propondrán acciones y medidas para corregirlas.

4. The full integration of students who, for physical, sensory, psychological or sociocultural reasons, experience difficulties to an adequate, equal and profitable access to university life will be facilitated.
