Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Lectures where the main theoretical contents of the subject are regarded.
Practical examples and real cases are shown also.
Collaborative learning Go in depth in supply and sewer systems elements and design methodologies.
Working will be divided between groups and shared at the end.
Document analysis Individual review of documentation as introduction to concepts or as review and deepening methodology.
The understanding and asimilation of the mean ideas should be shown in a collaborative learning activity or in an objective test.
Oral presentation Preparation of a poster or a set of slides and oral presentation at class. Not only the contents are evaluated but the prepared material and the performance.
Problem solving Solution of problems proposed by the theachers to strengthen theoretical concepts.
ICT practicals Design and dimension of components of supply and sewer systems by usign technical software.
Field trip Visit to drinking water and/or wastewater treatment in A Coruña
Visit to works on a water supply or sewerage system
Objective test Multiple choices or true/false tests answered individually or in groups.
