Description |
| Workbook |
The nature of this course is blended. Following a presentation of the contents thereof, different ppt files and text for self-study student will be added to the distance learning moodle platform. These files are self-explanatory, but if necessary it may consult with teachers via email or in person |
| Field trip |
It raises at least one outlet to an industry / science center where views methodologies applied in the subject |
| Introductory activities |
In a single initial session the subject will be presented explaining its methodology and the evaluation method |
| Case study |
the student is faced with a hypothetical case to be resolved by applying the knowledge you gain from working the readings. In a first phase, the work will be done in groups, in a second phase to work individually.

| Case study |
A4 A5 A8 A10 B1 B3 B8 B9 |
Following the work of "case study" the student has to submit its findings to the teaching staff who will assess the use of the information provided to the student, and the degree of understanding of it. Will also take into account the management of existing sources of information. |

Assessment comments |
The score needed to pass the course will be 5 points. Students who do not meet this note must repeat the assignment. Since the case study does not require physical attendance, the evaluation of semi-face learning students or part-time dedication recognized, it is the same as the other students |
