Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Objective test Written tests will be carried out, consisting of theoretical and practical questions.
Case study Real case studies related to the processes object of the subject to study will be carried out. There will be a sharing of the studies carried out and the discussion of the different solutions adopted to the determined problem.
Problem solving They will propose and solve a series of problems referred to the contents of the subject matter, and oriented as far as possible to real cases.
Guest lecture / keynote speech The detailed explanation of the contents of the subject distributed in subjects will be made. The student will have bibliographical material of support of the subject in each master session. The participation of the student in class will be encouraged, through comments that bring to relate the eoric contents with the real experience.
